A fantastic opportunity for those aged 11+
A bellboat is a twin-hulled canoe joined by a platform. The paddlers sit in line in each hull facing forward. Up to 10 participants can enjoy this fantastic fun experience in one boat! Instructors will take up the helm position at the back.
Tours start in our on-site canal basin and then travel along the Grand Union Canal. Our instructors will teach you how to paddle efficiently as team.
Bellboats are great for the inexperienced…
Because of their inherent stability of bellboats and the number of people they can take on board the boats can move a good pace with everyone powering together. This makes them ideal for the young and inexperienced, those that have never been afloat on water before in this type of craft, people with special needs, or any social, private, party group, school group or youth groups general.
Each person must wear a buoyancy aid which will be supplied at the venue.
It is not a necessity to be able to swim, but we strongly advise that participants should be confident in and around water.
Parents / carers do not have to go in the boat providing their young person is confident enough to do the activity without them. If they need parental support, please book a ticket on the tickets page.
