Plas y Brenin has been involved in the evolution of high quality canoe coaching over the last 20 years. The centre's central location makes Plas y Brenin unique with access on our door step to some of the most beautifully lakes and scenic white water in the UK - it simply can't be beaten. Our modern, well-maintained canoes and state-of-the-art coaching methods combine to give the best possible introduction to canoeing with excellent facilities and location creating the opportunity to develop and hone your canoe skills.

 Nothing looks, or feels, quite as good as a finely tuned doubles crew. Paddling tandem efficiently requires co-operation, and communication as well as a instinctive understanding of how the boat, paddle and water interact. This is a unique opportunity for you to be coached together as a tandem crew, turning you into a much more effective unit after you leave. |

 Temagami is a very well kept Canadian secret. This expansive wilderness, is a lesser known series of lakes, rivers and islands that's ideal for a journey by canoe.
Our adventure will start with a float plane drop off, swooping down before dropping you and your gear deep in the wilderness. After a short 'shake-down' journey, you'll embark upon the self contained expedition where you'll paddle your way back to civilisation, sleeping under canvas each night. With chances to see the northern lights as you sit around the camp fire, come face to face with a moose and countless other types of amazing wildlife or to just sit back in awe of the vastness of your surroundings, this holiday really is the explorers choice.
The cost includes full outfitting (equipment hire and food)
