FAQs
Where can I paddle?
You can paddle one of the largest canoes in Europe along the tidal waters of the River Dart, and also (by special arrangement) the River Yealm and the Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuary.
What do I need to wear?
Through the seasons the river is ever changing and always beautiful, so we offer trips all year round. Everyone should dress for the day's forecast weather including waterproof trousers and top, and or sun screen. Footwear - Wellingtons, trainers or sandals - depending on season. A big drybag is aboard each canoe for guest-crew to use. For evening trips a small torch is useful.
Do I need to bring food?
You can bring your own picnic, call in at a country pub or riverside café, or let us do the catering. For an extra charge we can offer a barbeque, picnic breakfast or campfire supper. We'll always provide you with hot drinks from the campfire. Just let us know when you book.
