**Winter sees some of the best conditions for kayaking on Dove Lake. Snow on the mountain and a glassy lake can be magical. (It can also be snowing sideways and not at all ideal for kayaking, see below)**

This Off Season (May to November 2026) we are running tours in our kayaks on Dove Lake when the conditions permit. It's hard to know more than a week ahead if conditions will be suitable, so instead of taking bookings you can register your interest and we'll let you know if we can get a tour out.

If you like the idea of getting out for a float with us in our hand-built kayaks this winter, please send an email to <info@cradlecanyons.com> with 'Off Season Kayaking' in the subject field.

Let us know in your email which dates you will be available for a tour on the mountain and your mobile number and we'll let you know close to the date if we have a tour we can get you on.

The tour includes a hot drink and snacks to keep your energy up. BYO winter woollies!
