THE Adventure

Our fantastic sit-on-top kayaks are great for beginners and experienced paddlers alike and ensure that everyone can come and enjoy the river. Messing about on the river doesn’t get better than this. Perfect for families, friends or even romantic dates, our tranquil stretch of the River Dart is a pleasure to paddle. Time for swimming, rope swings and exploring the glorious natural habitat too.

What to expect

Feel the thrill of getting off the banks and on to the river, all powered under your own steam. You’re in great hands with our British Canoeing qualified team, who will give you as little or as much support as you want. Find swimming holes up river or rope-swings down river and secret spots to raft up and picnic along the way.

Frequently asked questions

What about bad weather?

Arrow down

All our river based-activities are dependent on suitable river conditions. Sometimes heavy rain on or before day of booking can mean the flow is too fast. If this happens, we'll contact you to offer alternative land-based activities or to reschedule.

Can my children do this activity?

Arrow down

Yes, this activity gives your kids the opportunity to fly solo easily under the watchful eye of the instructor allowing you to relax and thoroughly enjoy yourself. Buoyancy aids worn at all times.

Do I need to wear a wetsuit?

Arrow down

Wetsuits are great if you plan to swim lots, or for warmth during winter - in summer you won’t need one. We have some you can borrow if needed.

What if I’ve never paddled before?

Arrow down

Don’t worry, your instructor will show you the basics before you even get on the water and stay close at all times if needed.
