The Boat Sheds continues in its original 1882 function, offering a range of boats for hire for both small and large groups, couples, and families. Enjoy an Avon River adventure on one of our single or double kayaks, paddle and row boats or Canadian canoes. Off the water and on a bike, you can embark on an urban adventure – discover the city or explore nearby Hagley Park. See the Boat Hire and Bike Hire pages for options and rates.
