Wellness-on-Water KataKanu 22-09-2026

A relaxed canoe journey on Derwentwater, suitable for complete beginners. Using a specialist craft which is extremely stable with plenty of space to be comfortable and very social. There is no need to get wet! You might need to step in the water to launch/land so wet feet but there’s fair chance we can keep them dry too! We’ll launch onto the lake, spend some time getting the hang of paddling and then make a short journey to see the Lake District from a whole new perspective We’ll provide a buoyancy aid for everyone, swimming ability isn’t necessary. Canoeing can be a great option for people who find walking tricky. Please let us know if this is you so we can make sure we get it right for you.

Lead by: Beth & Kelvyn

What did you think of the event?

Excellent

What an experience, floating along on the lake was so amazing and sharing that experience with others just about topped it off. Seeing the fells from a different perspective. Something I hope I can experience again in the future.

How did Wellness-on-Water help you?

Some days it’s just hard to switch off. It was so relaxing, sharing the experience with others. Lots of laughs and chatter was amazing. Felt really good afterwards. Loved it when the passengers on the launch gave us a wave, our 5 mins of fame 😄 felt special Thank you both

Would you come on an event with us again?

Yes! I would love to go again.
