Adverse Weather
If the weather is windy, or we have heavy rain, the canoe safari area may be closed as it is in quite an exposed location. Please check our Facebook page or call us on 01554 741087 on the day you intend to visit to ensure you are not disappointed.
If you have prebooked your Canoe Safari or kayak tickets for a day where we can’t operate the boats, we will contact you to arrange a refund or alternative date.
