				not sure what type of craft you mean, Canadians are generally open canoes, and kayaks are closed cockpit, but there are the sit on top kayaks a few people are using for journeying.  To try them out you could get in touch with some of the activity centres to see if there having a come and try session. 
Mobile team adventure,
Highpoint,
Canoe Association Norn Iron,
to give you a start.
good luck
