They give you life jackets, a place to store any belongins and a quick demonstration of what to do before you set off onto the lake. It was £35 for the 2 hours which is great value for money and it gives you plenty of time to explore around the islands. · via Google [DuneeBritLoveStory](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109975873616289173576/reviews) ★★★★★ Had a really good experience kayaking here for the first time. The man was very friendly and helpful and explained everything properly as we had never been on a kayak before. Normally it was £50 for 2 hours for both of us, but we asked for 1 hour instead and he kindly did it for £35 including wetsuits and life jackets. Really appreciated the help and made us feel comfortable from the start. Definitely recommend this place if you are trying kayaking for the first time. · via Google [Megan Sayers](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115236553642848979666/reviews) ★★★★★ Had a fantastic time paddleboarding, thanks to the team at WCK! It was my husband's 30th birthday, and we were a large group, but they made us feel very welcome and catered to our needs! We had a wonderful time on the water, and really enjoyed our experience! · via Google [Moretisha Pickup](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101909051490368595298/reviews) ★★★★★ What a great day! We arrived early, filled out the paper work under 5 mins as it was only two of us. There were clear directions on where we should go but no maps to go with, maybe having some spare maps would be good. The sights were really good and it was very relaxing. The place was a bit tough to find coming back so I suggest taking a photo of it on the kayak as soon as on the water so it’ll look familiar when returning. I hope the business can add signage at the back of the building so kayakers can find their way back. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487c9456257d584b:0x94f123af6bac1d82!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this outdoor activity center offers high-quality equipment for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding, with clear instructions and helpful tips provided.
