Description

Taken at the pace of the group, this is a unique way to see the best of the lakes. We might head up a gentle river, paddle through nesting birds, or go and jump off a jetty... no two sessions are the same!

Phenomenal kayaking experience on Derwentwater.

We had a fantastic time on Derwentwater kayaking with Toby. He was such a patient teacher considering our experience and we all had a phenomenal time. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone, especially beginners who may be nervous about trying.

Superb adventure on the lake.

Our coach was absolutely superb - a windy, wet day made a proper kayaking adventure on Derwent Water and the River Derwent.

A joyful morning out kayaking on Derwent Water.

This was a fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning. Many thanks to John, our instructor, who gave us a wonderful experience. John imparted lots of really useful knowledge of his, which we will be able to use, once we can go out under our own steam.

Operator response

Thanks for taking the time to review, really is much appreciated!

Amazing for beginners and pros

Your enjoyment in specifically the kayaking is subjective. However, if you do enjoy this activity/think you would, this body of water is beginner freindly due to how deep a lot of the water is. There are also plenty of small islands to land on if you need a break. I absolutely loved my session on derwent water.

Operator response

Glad you enjoyed it, and I agree that Derwent Water is a beautiful area for a first trip out :-)

Annual Dad’s Keswick outing

Cracking morning with instructor Steve out on Derwent. This was our second outing with Mobile adventures and loved it just as much as the first. We went through all the safety instructions in a clear & concise manner and off we went onto the lake. Played a few games and everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed the morning,

Operator response

Thanks for coming back, think Steve had as good a time as you!! Hope to see you in the future :-)
