THE Adventure

There’s a reason why it’s become the world’s fastest-growing sport. Calming or exhilarating, you decide... Whether it’s a meditative mode of exploration or an epic adventure you’re after, paddle boarding on the Dart is unbeatable. Calming or exhilarating, you decide. There’s a reason why it’s become the world’s fastest-growing sport.

What to expect

Paddle boarding on the river is an all-age, all-level activity you can do with friends and family and is one of the best ways to spend a morning or afternoon in South Devon on our tranquil stretch of the river. Explore swimming holes up river towards Still Pool, or down river to the weir, jump in, swim, play on the rope swings, catch tiddlers or find a quiet shingle to stop and relax. You can even do some yoga on your board if you feel moved to but whatever you do, be prepared to be hooked after your first go!

  • Large 10 x 4ft paddleboards give both stability and manoeuvrability
  • Easy to learn and quick to master – stand up, kneel up, sit down, lie-down!
  • Our most popular outdoor water activity choice for teens
  • Great core fitness and full fully body workout
  • Buoyancy aids for all, so don’t worry if you’re not a swimmer
  • It’s likely you’ll fall in, so bring spares just in case
  • 3 hours needed: including getting set up and to and from the river giving over 2 hours on the water
  • Wildlife viewing (Kingfishers), fish spotting, tiddler catching, rope-swinging, swimming
  • Find out why it’s everyone’s new favourite outdoor local activity

Frequently asked questions

Is Stand Up Paddle Boarding something I can do?

Arrow down

Most people can—and they love it! It is relatively easy to learn...most pick up the basics the first day of learning.

Can my child or I do it if we can’t swim?

Arrow down

Yes, swimming isn't a prerequisite for this activity, buoyancy aids are worn at all times

What do I wear?

Arrow down

Wear what is most comfortable. Clothing that allows movement is best. Once you’ve got the hang of stand up paddling, you won't be falling into the water so much! For summer months we suggest some combination of swimsuit/ board shorts/ rash vest but for cool conditions you’ll need to wear a wetsuit

What is the river like on the Dartington Estate stretch?

Arrow down

Our 5k stretch of the Upper Dart above the Totnes weir is completely flat water with a mixture of swimming holes and toddle-friendly shingles to be found along its length. All sessions are dependent on river conditions being suitable as after heavy rain, the flow can be too fast – we will never take you out if conditions are not deemed suitable to do so.

1 hour activities

If you only have a short time you could pick a 1hr activity. Thrills and spills....
