The Paddle Experience team is well equipped to support you on your paddling journey through its EXPLORE, ADVENTURE and LEARN initiatives.
We care deeply about the world we live in and consider the spaces in which we have the privilege to be active as precious and extremely fragile. In all our activities, we strive to heighten our clients’ awareness of the world around us through our communication and actions, all the while limiting our impact on the environment.
Each team member has unique attributes that contribute our offerings. These influence the moment from when you first put a craft on the water to perfecting your technique once you become serious about your performance.

UNDERTAKING
Paddle Experience undertakes to:
– ensure safety first, have fun second
– provide a challenging activity in interesting spaces
– share its passion for kayaking in the natural environment
– make a positive impact on the world around us
Some risk comes with being on the water, and while we take every precaution to promote a successful and safe outing, you are required to complete an indemnity form and disclose any adverse medical condition. Even though we use stable craft, you need a sense of adventure, because you are exposed to the environmental conditions of wind and water.
