Have a Go at paddling!
If you’re looking for a peaceful way to soak in the mountain scenery, our sit-on-top kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddleboard hire is the perfect way to get out on the water. Designed for those who just want to have a go, these sessions offer you the freedom to explore Llynnau Mymbyr at your own pace without the pressure of a structured class.
You’ll be provided with all the essential gear—including buoyancy aids—so you can simply launch from the shore and enjoy the incredible reflections of the Yr Wyddfa horseshoe and Moel Siabod on the water. It’s a wonderfully relaxed, low-stakes way to connect with the landscape and enjoy a bit of time on the lake, whether you’re paddling solo or sharing the experience with friends and family.
Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes (and shoes if you have them)- you’ll get wet!
