At Och Aye Canoe, I believe the best adventures come with a personal touch — and that's exactly what you get when you come paddling with myself and my team of instructors.
Whether you're kayaking, paddleboarding, or gliding along in a canoe, every trip is tailored to the people in it. That’s why we deliberately keep group sizes small — with a maximum of four people per session. Here’s why that makes all the difference.
🛶 1. You Get More Time and Support
With only four people on the water, you’re not just another face in the crowd. You get direct, personalised coaching from an experienced instructor who really knows their stuff. That means more tips, more encouragement, and more time focused on helping you grow in confidence and skill — whether you’re brand new or looking to improve.
🌊 2. It’s Safer and Calmer
Small groups create a calmer, more controlled environment. You're never far from your instructor, so if you’re feeling a bit wobbly or have a question, help is right there. It’s ideal for beginners, people with additional needs, or anyone who just prefers a slower pace. You’re supported every paddle-stroke of the way.
🌿 3. You See More (and Disturb Less)
The waterways around Fife are teeming with wildlife. Otters, seals, seabirds — you name it! And because we paddle quietly and respectfully in small numbers, we’re more likely to spot them.
🎉 4. It’s More Fun and Friendly
There’s something special about sharing an experience with just a few people. You chat more, laugh more, and often leave with new friends as well as new skills. Whether you come with your partner, your pal, or on your own — you’ll feel included, not invisible.
So, why choose Och Aye Canoe?
Because you’re not just booking an activity — you’re investing in a high-quality, inclusive, confidence-boosting experience. We’re all about relaxed and expert guidance, and memorable moments out on the water. And as the 2024 Paddle UK Quality Experience Award Winner we are proud to be recognised for what we do.
Fancy giving it a go? Come join us — where every paddle counts and you matter.
See you on the water!
