Kayaking Adventures in the Dark!
As the day draws to an end and twilight settles in, strap on some waterproofs and get stuck into a new night-time adventure.
Whether you're a seasoned kayaker or a complete novice, this trip will cater to your group's skill level while unfolding the secrets of the River after dark. As your night vision adapts to your new surroundings, you'll have a chance to witness the natural environment around you on a range of the most idyllic waterways in Sussex and Kent.

Equipment needed
For all kayaking courses you must have extra warm clothes and waterproofs, we will provide you with a full kit list upon booking.
- Full change of clothes to go kayaking in, including footwear, and underwear.
- Clothing should be suitable for the time of year*
- Waterproof jacket and trousers (to wear on the water)
- Extra jumper
- Warm hat / sun hat
- Gloves
- Towel
- Snacks / water
- Medication / Tablets / Inhaler etc.
The above list is just a guide and appropriate clothing for the time of year should be worn. We highly recommend you have a dry bag for all your kit on the water and to put your wet clothing in at the end of the day.
*Clothing should comprise several layers to trap the warmth. Please do not wear denim as it restricts movement, is cold when wet and is slow to dry. You must wear footwear whilst kayaking (old trainers, plimsolls) please don’t wear sandals. Wetsuits are not required as they only work when they are wet; if you wish to bring a wetsuit we still recommend you have a warm top.
