Our Richmond Season may be Over
Want to have some fun, get active outdoors with the added benefit of a full body workout... Stand Up Paddling (SUP) is an enormously relaxing, surprisingly serene experience, a fantastic way to explore the world from a different perspective.
We are still running Thames River Day Trips this October
There is something that happens when you spend a full day in nature, on the water, away from screens and schedules.
Your breathing slows. Your thinking clears. The world becomes very simple, the river, the sky, the rhythm of the paddle.
Our guided day trips take you along some of the most beautiful and unspoiled stretches of river. Six to seven hours of paddling, through open countryside, ancient water meadows, and river banks that feel a world away from London.
There are pit stops, moments to take in the landscape, and plenty of photo opportunities. Every route is different. Every day on the river reveals something new.
A full day on the water with people who love being there.
