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!

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

Just so good and relaxing. We were nervous at first but Adam put us at ease once we were on the 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.

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.

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,
