Below is an overview of the different membership tariffs Viking Kayak Club offers. At Viking, we have been serving Bedford since 1961 and aim to provide the same friendly, family-based club that has helped us to grow from a few friends out for a casual paddle to a membership of over 100.

If at any time, while you are browsing through our membership section, you have a question related to any of our tariffs, don't hesitate to call the Membership Secretary on 0845 094 5783 or send an e-mail
