A guided kayak tour on Ullswater is the ideal way to immerse yourself in the beauty of the area while creating a memorable experience. Book your Ullswater Kayaking Tour here and discover one of the best local outdoor activities in the Lake District.
As part of your experience, if you wish, I’ll take plenty of photos, and a video or two, and send them on to you free of charge, once the trip is over. If you’ve enjoyed your time out on the water, please feel free to leave a review on TripAdvisor or Google.
The boats we use are Double Sea Kayaks. Drier, more comfortable, and definitely a lot easier to paddle in any sort of breeze than an inflatable or a sit-on-top. The kayaks are not available to hire separately.
Beginners are very welcome, and usually make up the majority of guests who come along. No previous kayaking experience is required for this perfect half day Lake District adventure.
Fitness wise, if you are regularly active in any way, this is usually enough. Being able to tell a good story or two is just as important. We do tend to chat on the trips.
The number of people on each trip is always very small. Generally it’s just two or four, and me.
Well fitting buoyancy aids are worn by everyone on the trips. I’ll go over how to fit them properly in the brief, and check everyone is fitted and comfortable in theirs before we go.
Wherever you are staying in the Lake District, Ambleside, Keswick, Windermere or elsewhere, the short drive to and from Glenridding is a scenic delight. Nestled in a valley on the southern shores of Ullswater, the beautiful, picturesque journey is very much part of the experience.

Helvellyn, a very well known mountain (or fell ) is close by, for maybe a walk on another day of your holiday. Allowing a full day for a walk on this fell is usually a wise decision.
