Kayak schools and basic instructions for beginners
Come, enjoy and learn kayaking in one of the most beautiful and appropriate places for the instruction of this exciting sport. Tena, over 15 years, has been showing and dazzling the world of kayaking due to the amount and quality of its rivers, its pleasant climate, the warm temperature of the water and friendly people. Wise Mother Nature helped by surrounding it with abundant flora and fauna and refreshing the life of the locals with the rivers Tena and Pano that cross through the city.
We believe that initial training makes the difference, so we decided to pass on all the techniques based on the experience of our instructors, who are certified by the ACA “American Canoe Association” and have devised various methods and teaching techniques according to the needs of each person.
These classes are designed for beginners, our kayak schools will teach the basic techniques such as control of kayaking, skimo roll, security positions, among others.
The objective of our kayak schools is to improve your skills in whitewater kayaking so you can confidently proceed to the next level and also to know and enjoy the river.
For suggestions from our customers, we have seen the need to create alternatives for people who are not favored over time and still want to enjoy this sport.
