Canoeing on the Elva River

Canoeing is for everyone - from beginners to seasoned pros! The river has something to offer people at all levels. Our goal is to ensure you enjoy yourself - not test your speed and agility on the water. You decide the course you take, how quickly you cover it, whether you do it alone or as part of a group and whether you do it to take in the scenery or for more athletic purporses.The full route covers 10 km and takes 3-4 hours to traverse. The part of the river where we take to the water is ideal for first-timers - it is slightly wider and the current more gentle.Bring with you a raincoat, mobile phone, food and drink and appropriate clothing (i.e. that will dry quickly and that you won't worry about getting dirty). Trainers or similar sports shoes are better than rubber boots.
