CanoeAdventures

Phil Sheardown, founder of Canoe Adventures, and his small team of trained and fully qualified canoe guides provide the expertise to ensure a safe and enjoyable outing. With many years of experience paddling in the area, Canoe Adventures have an in-depth knowledge of the rivers and creeks and can share the area's history, folklore and wildlife with you.

Canoe Adventures also offer guided 2-seat open canoe outings and coaching to British Canoe Union (BCU) criteria. basic training starts on sheltered tidal water and, depending on the student's development and ambition, progresses to open water and thence to moving water. BCU certificates of competence are earned along the way.

White water guided runs and training are offered in 2-seat open canoes from October to the end of the Winter season (see River Dart Access Information). The lower reaches of the freshwater Dart are ideal for one-off trips and for beginners. Paddling skills acquired on moving water last a lifetime!
