Team Building Kayaking – The New Favourite?

Team-building activities are such a great way to bring people together and create stronger bonds within your team. While more “traditional” activities are still popular, water-based ones are quickly becoming the new favourite! They’re fun, refreshing and offer up quite a unique experience. Over the past number of years we’ve noticed a surge in groups taking part in team building kayaking trips and water-based team building activities in general – Interested in finding out more?

Why Choose Water-Based Activities? 

Let’s face it—being stuck indoors for team-building exercises can sometimes feel a bit rough. But water-based activities? They are a game changer. An outdoor setting, fresh air and the chance to tackle a fun, physical challenge together. When you’re out on the water, you’ve got to work together, there’s no other options! Whether you’re paddling in sync on a tandem kayak or solving little challenges together, you’ll need to communicate and think on your feet. Plus, it is just plain fun, which really does help foster a great bond between everyone involved. 

Why Kayaking Is Such a Winner 

Kayaking is the ultimate team-building activity. Why? Because it ticks all the boxes imaginable. It’s all about coordination—especially if you’re sharing a kayak. You’ll quickly learn to trust and rely on each other to keep things steady and moving forward. It’s also just a really refreshing way to spend time. You get to soak in beautiful views, enjoy the calm of being on the water and have a good laugh if (and when!) things get a little wobbly. Plus, and perhaps most importantly, it’s incredibly inclusive. No matter your fitness level, kayaking is something everyone can enjoy, making it perfect for teams with a varying degree of skills. 

Why Your Team Will Love It 

Taking the team out of the office and into nature is a fantastic way to break up the routine. It’s a shared adventure that shakes off the usual workday vibes and gives everyone a chance to connect on a different level, the idea being that you’ll return to work feeling more connected and energized and that’s going to translate into better teamwork and collaboration back at the office! And let’s not forget, showing your team you genuinely care about their well-being and giving them a chance to have some fun makes a big difference in employee satisfaction. 

Why Water-Based Activities Just Work 

The great thing about water-based activities is how versatile they are. Outdoor team-building activities are great whether you have a small team or a big one; the activities can be tailored to suit your group. And there’s something for everyone—from adrenaline junkies to people who prefer a more relaxed vibe. The Lagoon Activity Centre has loads of options, so you can pick what works best for your team.
