Kayaking family on the Helford River at Sunset

Kayaking and Canoeing in Cornwall

Paddle up silent creeks at dawn. Take to the water at twilight over a river filled with a phosphorescent glow. Explore secret smuggling coves with untouched sand.

Whether you bring a kayak or hire one whilst you are here, explore the creeks alone or take a guided excursion. There are few ways better to see the Falmouth and Helford River area than by kayak or canoe. Fun for all the family or for lone rangers taking a moment away from it all.

The quietness of the Helford River is unparalleled. Make the most of it as you dip a paddle into calm millpond-like water. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty with so much to see.

Falmouth and the Fal River is best seen from the water. Get up close to the boats of Falmouth Harbour, or mosey along the water to haul up in style outside a famous waterside pub.

When you launch directly from your holiday home, you might just spend the week with your kayak and paddle as your only form of transport.
