Join us for a scenic journey along the calm waters of the River Thames with our 'Downstream Discovery Tour'. This guided paddleboard adventure promises three hours of exploration, relaxation, and connection amidst gorgeous natural landscapes.
Prepare for a leisurely paddleboard excursion, drifting downstream on the scenic River Thames. Led by our experienced local instructor, the adventure commences from our private floating pontoon. As we glide downstream towards Teddington, beautiful sights unfold, from charming houseboats to historic landmarks such as Hampton Court Palace.
While not structured as a formal lesson, our knowledgeable instructor is on hand to offer tips and feedback on paddling techniques. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned paddler, the trip caters to all skill levels.
Feel free to paddle at your own pace, basking in the quiet ambience of the river. As we approach Teddington, we conclude our expedition conveniently close to a delightful riverside pub, perfect for post-paddle relaxation and refreshments.
Launch from our private pontoon situated on the non-tidal River Thames in Surrey, ensuring a calm and secluded starting point for your adventure.
Participants should possess basic paddling proficiency, including the ability to stand up and paddle or comfortably paddle while kneeling. Proficiency in paddling forwards, turning left and right, and stopping is recommended. No prior expert-level experience is necessary.

A question we get asked often by our visitors, the paddleboard is designed for bare feet to grip, so shoes will not be essential. So, when it is warm you can go bare foot no problem.
However, in the colder months, you might want something to keep you a bit warmer like neoprene boots.
It is possible to paddleboard without knowing how to swim, although wearing a life vest will be essential. Therefore, it will be better it if you know how to swim as it is without a doubt that you will fall off of your paddleboard at some point!

We had a fantastic morning on the river, the sun was shining and Andy was very helpful in his advice of where we could get to in the time we’d booked. All equipment and facilities great too, very handy to have lockers to leave some bags behind. Would definitely recommend!
