Canoe & Kayak Hire 2023 Season

Canoe & Kayak Hire 2023 Season

The Swansea Canal Canoe Hire Season Is Open!

This Sunday 9th April saw the beginning of the summer hire season on the Swansea canal. We are open at Coed Gwilym Park every Sunday now until the end of September (for more details, terms and conditions, see the CANOES page on our website).

Business was steady throughout the day, with Canadian canoes and several single kayaks being the vessels of choice for our first customers. The weather was pleasant and fun was had by all, as these photos show.

Whether you’re an experienced paddler, you fancy a family trip in a big canoe, or a solo adventure in a single kayak, come and join us on a Sunday and have some fun!
