Canoeing is the perfect way to enjoy the peace of South Devon’s rivers. You can power yourself along or travel at the pace of the tide. The itinerary is up to you. You can enjoy slow tourism with wooden engines, power-assisted by the silent tide, and leaving only ripples behind you. Popular with families, groups, birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts, it is also ideal for:

  • Childrens' parties
  • Romantic moonlight adventures and night paddles
  • Riverside picnic or barbeque, pub lunch or dinner
  • Storycanoe
  • Ice cream and crabbing
  • Wine and cheese tour at riverside Sharpham Vinyard  
  • Team Reward
  • Ride a spring tide - Dartmouth return 
  • Hen and stag outings
  • Scouts Guides school youth challenged groups, special rates

A trip in our open canoes makes a wonderful special day out, a birthday or anniversary treat. We also offer GIFT VOUCHERS for you to send to friends.
