Try out one of the fastest growing water sports and get to grips with paddling a kayak in a group environment. During the session, you can both expect to learn the basics of paddle and boat control as well as general river safety, with instruction taking place in a safe boating area two to three feet deep. Once the basics are mastered, head out into calm sections of the river under the supervision of qualified instructors. Take a trip through the beautiful Jephson Gardens and local nature reserve to explore and participate in games and challenges to put your new skills to the test. Kayaks were originally developed by indigenous people of Arctic regions, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and coastal waters. The first kayaks consisted of stitched animal skins such as seal stretched over a wooden frame. Don't worry, today they are a little more high tech, made from rotomoulded plastic, wood, fabric over wooden or aluminum frame, fiberglass, Kevlar or carbon fibre.

In a nutshell, polo is a game that involves hitting a small ball with a long stick while sitting astride a beautiful polo horse - easy! Don't worry if you don't know how to ride, the horses are very friendly and know exactly what they are doing. You'll start off by being briefed on the basic rules and theory of polo by expert instructors. Then you'll have lots of time to practice ball hitting, polo riding, hooking and riding off (and all the terminology will be explained we promise!). The polo ponies are very well-schooled and there will be an instructor by your side to help and encourage you all the way. After your theory training you'll mount your polo pony, and then it's time to put what you've learnt into practice as you play an instructional chukka or game - a mini polo match! Why not stay and watch the Club chukkas and tournaments being played for the rest of the day? You'll be amazed what you can achieve in just a single lesson, polo is a great sport both to play and to watch.
