About This Adventure

Join a thrilling 3-hour paddleboarding adventure that enhances your skills and builds confidence on the water. Guided by experienced instructors, explore scenic riverside landscapes while connecting with fellow paddlers. Enjoy tips and breaks as you glide past meadows and woodlands, making this journey both memorable and enjoyable for all skill levels.

Ready to explore a bit further?

This session is to build on the paddleboarding skills you've learnt and increase your confidence on the water with our qualified team guiding you to explore the river. Plus, you'll get to meet fellow new local paddlers in the same boat as you journey together as a group.

While we'll give you tips and advice for your paddling, this session is all about the journey as we head out for a 3 hour paddle trip to explore more of the river as we pass meadows, woodlands, canal boats, oast houses and often spot kingfishers as we paddle.

We ask that everyone has paddleboarded at least once before and there's no pressure to stand. This isn't just open to newbies - if you're someone that's just not been on your board for a while and is a little nervous, we hear you, this is for you too.

We just ask you're comfortable on the board for 3 hours, including some breaks to chill on the water.
