These experiences are ideal for visitors who want to explore the broads, fish from a quiet anchorage, watch wildlife or learn paddle skills in a safe environment.

Main experiences

• Dayboat hire (up to 4 people, up to 6 people, up to 7 people) — Easy-to-drive electric boats with a full canopy for rain protection. Guests can cruise local broads, anchor for fishing and enjoy calm, silent cruising on inland waterways. The larger dayboat option (up to 7 people) is available from April to October.
• The Pedal Boat — A low-impact, quiet option for two people to glide through the River Waveney and observe local wildlife up close.
• Guided Canoe Tour — A two-hour, family-friendly canoe trip led by an experienced guide. Instruction and navigation are provided for a safe river experience suitable for a wide range of ages.
• Stand up Paddle board lesson — Lessons focus on paddling technique, self-rescue and how to handle tidal waters and river traffic. Lessons take place in a controlled setting, and summer rentals are available once participants are ready to continue independently.
