• Canoes are the best way to explore the Norfolk Broads. Small enough to fit down secluded creeks and cuts, quiet enough to observe wildlife close up, and stable enough to accommodate beginners and children.

This year to enable us to be able to run a safe and clean service, we will only be offering 3 hour or 6 hour canoe and kayak hire. Pre-booking is essential. To enable us to operate safely, you must arrive 30 minutes prior to your booking time at the Ranger Station on The Broad edge for a safety briefing. Failure to do so may result in loss of time on the water or loss of your booking altogether. Please note it is a 10 minute walk from our car park to the Broad and our car park often gets full. There is a car park at Thieves Lane, which is an additional 15 minutes walk from the car park. Please allow plenty of time and please do not park on the verge outisde the car park.
​
Take out a canoe or kayak and explore Salhouse Broad. The Wherry Cut offers a peaceful place to watch wildlife and surround yourself with nature, or see the innovative Salhouse Spit Restoration up-close from a unique angle.

A 3 hour session allows you to get as far as Horning or Wroxham, stop at the pub for a drink, and make it back again.

6 hours gives you the chance to head all the way down to Ranworth, where you'll find a Norfolk Wildlife Trust visitor centre, and the spectacular views from the top of St. Helen's Church (known locally as The Cathedral of The Broads).

​Arrive by public transport, on foot, or by bike, and get 10% discount on all our prices (not to be used in conjunction with any other offer)
