The Ultimate Summer Day Out Starts on the Water

Water Activities

Looking for a fun family activity, a unique day out with friends, or a relaxing way to enjoy the outdoors? Our water activities offer the perfect opportunity to experience Arrow Valley Lake from a different perspective.

Our Swan Pedalos are a firm favourite with visitors and can accommodate up to four people, making them ideal for families and groups looking for a fun and memorable experience on the water. For those seeking a more relaxed pace, our Rowing Boats provide the opportunity to explore the lake and enjoy the surroundings in a peaceful setting.

We know that dogs are part of the family too, which is why well-behaved dogs are welcome aboard our Swan Pedalos and Rowing Boats, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience together.

Safety is a priority, with buoyancy aids available and appropriate measures in place to ensure visitors can enjoy their time on the water with confidence.
