What to do on the water

An array of paddlesports and sailing are available within the National Park and there are many excellent local instructors and guides to get you started, help you improve or give you local knowledge to get the best experience on the day.

If its fishing you are after then please follow this link to our dedicated pages.

A qualified and experienced instructor can guide and coach you and give you a taste of the challenge of paddling. There are many outdoor activity providers in South Wales that can give you an introduction to this exciting sport. It's also possible to hire canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards on some sections of our rivers, canals and lakes.

Have you considered private guiding or lessons? If you’ve tried it, liked it and want to do more then an instructor can guide you on the best routes the area has to offer, or teach you the skills needed to become an independent paddler.

If you are already a paddler and are looking for a little adventure then you’re in the right place. The Brecon Beacons National Park has a variety of canals, lakes, reservoirs and rivers, all in beautiful settings.
