Join us at our Club’s Open Day on Saturday, May 2nd! Our beginner kayak introduction experiences are age-friendly and zero experience is necessary. This is the perfect time to try kayaking or canoeing!

At Bunclody Paddle Sports Club, we recognise that kayaking is not just a sport. It’s a gateway to well-being, connection and, truly, the joy of outdoor adventure. With us, you will experience mindfulness while being on the water. You’re not just connected, you’ll be lost in the moment, as the orchestrating sounds of birds and water distract you from your day and busy life.

Our experienced coaches will guide you through the very basics in a supportive, inspiring, and fun environment. Here you can progress at your own pace, learn new skills and experience a deep sense of connection on Slaney’s beautiful waterway.

What’s Included

A kayak, paddle, helmet, wetsuit and buoyancy aid are all included in your course. Just bring along your swimwear, a towel and a pair of suitable footwear you don’t mind getting wet. We’ll handle the rest, so you can focus on getting comfortable on the water. If you have your own wetsuit, bring it along.

  • On-site parking.
  • Simple comforts before and after paddling, tea and coffee are on us!
