COVID-19 Guidance for Paddle Sports
Guidance for Paddle Sports
Paddlers taking part in coached, led, guided, or other organised activity can expect suitable measures put in place that will reduce the likelihood of COVID-19 transmission. These protection measures will include protocols to support physical distancing, hand-washing, and cleaning kit/surfaces that might be contaminated, along with procedures regarding group size/composition in line with government advice. We ask that participants comply as requested.
It must be acknowledged, however, that we cannot eliminate the risk of COVID-19 transmission entirely, as this would disproportionately impact on your overall safety and the quality of the experience.
More detailed guidance can be found in the Scottish Canoe Association Paddlesport Guidance for Phase 2 (from 3rd July 2020).
BOOKINGS
Existing Bookings
Bookings that were made prior to COVID-19, for the period from 1st July 2020: Some can go ahead, but some may need to be postponed if the activity or travel isn’t in line with Government and Scottish Canoe Association guidance. All customers have been individually contacted and informed if there is a possibility that their booking may be affected.
New Bookings
We are taking new bookings for groups.
If any booking cannot go ahead due to COVID-19 Government restrictions and Scottish Canoe Association guidance, our terms and conditions apply (clause 4c). This means you will be given the option to postpone your booking with us, or receive a 100% refund.
Any sea kayaking gift vouchers purchased prior to or during the COVID-19 restrictions, shall be valid for an additional year.

Once your booking is complete we will email you a final form for you to fill in which asks for an emergency contact, relevant medical information, and size information for the kit and equipment. This must be completed by all participants before going on the water with Sea Kayak Plockton.
We will then send you final confirmation of your booking together with joining instructions for your experience. This will contain information on what you need to bring with you and directions
