Take a course:
We recommend that you take a course before paddling on your own for the first time. The Canoeing Association organises courses for beginners.
Safety
As a beginner, you should always take it extra carefully. Always paddle close to land, and never paddle alone. Kayaking involves some risks, especially if the water is cold. When you are inexperienced, we recommend that you paddle in the
summer when the water temperature is favorable if you should fall in the water. Also, the weather is more stable in the summer.
There is a greater risk of capsizing if there are large waves, and the waves are built up by the wind. If it is very windy, it is therefore better to choose another day to go kayaking. With us at ArcAdventure, you can therefore from a security perspective add a rebooking guarantee in connection with booking.
Find information if you are inexperienced.
We have compiled texts about safety, how to set up the kayak, but also about how to get back into the kayak if you should fall in. Canoeing becomes more fun if you sit well and if you feel safe.
The most important thing if you are inexperienced is to never kayak alone. Also adjust your excursion to your own level, and progress slowly.
