IT COULD BE A PERFECT WAY OF SOAKING UP SOME LOCAL SCENERY IN THE WELSH COUNTRYSIDE 04:00, 31 May 2025 If you’re looking to enjoy an activity in south Wales with a difference, then the

night-time kayaking experience might be the perfect thing for you to add to your summer bucket list. It’s located on Neath Canal, so it’s an amazing way to soak up the south Wales

countryside in a slightly different way than you would usually. Neath canal, which opened in 1975, is 13 miles long and runs from Briton Ferry through to Neath town centre and up the Vale of

Neath to Glyneath. _From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What’s On in Wales by signing up to our __newsletter here_. You can explore the canal for an hour at a time at your own pace

as the sun goes down, meaning you can enjoy the activity during sunset if you are looking to enjoy some relaxed vibes. You can book two types of sessions, the single-seater kayak (£26.19)

and the two-seater kayak (£36.67). Sessions generally have a 9pm start. Article continues below According to South Wales Adventure Company, which runs the activity, each timeslot is limited

to a maximum of 10 single seater kayaks and four doubles. The idea is that people can have the best experience without it feeling overcrowded, and individuals and groups are all encouraged

to give it a go. The kayaks are sit-on-tops meaning that people may have to expect to get water splashed on them during the experience, so people are urged to bring a towel and a change of

clothing as there are changing facilities onsite. It’s described as being suitable for adults and children and “absolute beginners”, and the age to use a single-seater kayak is seven and

four for a two seater kayak. All under-18s will also need to be supervised by a parent or responsible adult during the session. It should be noted that during bad weather, such as heavy

rain, sessions may be cancelled but you will be able to get a refund, voucher or move your slot to another date. Describing what it feels like, organisers say: “You can paddle through calm,

moonlit waters as the world around you transforms into a peaceful, glowing landscape. “Our sessions take you through serene natural settings, where the water reflects the night sky and every

stroke brings you deeper into nature’s tranquillity. “Outfitted with LED-lit kayaks, you'll glide across the surface, often catching glimpses of nocturnal wildlife and hearing the

soothing sounds of the evening. Article continues below “Whether you're seeking quiet reflection or a memorable outing with friends or family, night-time kayaking offers an

unforgettable blend of adventure and serenity.”
