Adventure Tips
Book Reservations Early
Banbury Adventures is popular, especially in summer; secure your watercraft rental ahead of time to guarantee your preferred time slot.
Bring Water and Snacks
While some refreshments are available onsite, packing your own light snacks and plenty of water keeps you fueled during time on the river.
Factor in Current Speed
Kayaking downstream to Blue Heart Springs is easier, but paddling back can take significantly longer; plan your rental duration accordingly.
Pet Friendly Rentals
Banbury welcomes dogs on many rentals—bring your furry friend along, but make sure they're comfortable on watercraft and you have life jackets as needed.
