Canoe safari and boat tour

From 29 March until 30 September, and weekends and school holidays in October.

Pick up your paddle and canoe your way around our award-winning self-guided canoe trail or travel round in a guided boat tour.

Our canoe safari and boat tours offer you a unique way to explore a part of our wetland centre that isn’t accessible on foot. Keep your eyes open and see what you can spot as you paddle or glide your way around the twists and turns of the waterways. Dragonflies, kingfishers, water voles – what treasures will you discover?
