About This Adventure

Embark on a unique family paddling adventure on the River Dee, tailored to your pace and interests. Guided by a qualified instructor, enjoy kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding while engaging in fun games. Perfect for beginners, this memorable experience fosters connection with nature and creates lasting family memories.

Duration: 1.5 Hours

An exclusive paddling journey just for your family, we can accommodate children from ages 6 upwards. This trip will be taken at your pace, exploring the sections of the river Dee you find most interesting alongside one of our Paddle UK qualified instructors who will make sure you learn to paddle your craft effectively as well as provide games to ensure it's a day out that you don't forget!

This can be offered in Kayak, SUP or both. For children aged 6-9 we have tandem kayaks for the child and an adult to paddle together. From ages 10 upwards we find children are usually happy paddling their kayak solo. Similarly for SUP this works for ages 8+.
