Thames Water Adventure Offers Guided Kayak SUP and Canoe Experiences


A new guided water adventure on the River Thames invites participants to explore one of England’s most iconic waterways by kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or canoe. Led by experienced instructors, the activity is designed to ensure safety while offering an engaging way to experience the river’s natural beauty and historic surroundings. Participants can enjoy a flexible and personalised journey, with options tailored to different group sizes and skill levels.


The experience showcases the scenic charm of the non-tidal Thames, where paddlers may encounter local wildlife, riverside parks, sandy stretches, and small islands along the route. Along the way, instructors share insights into the area’s history and environment, adding an educational layer to the outdoor adventure. The activity also allows groups to mix and match different watercraft, offering variety and adaptability throughout the session.


All essential equipment is provided, including kayaks, SUP boards, canoes, paddles, safety gear, and buoyancy aids. Optional items such as waterproof phone cases and glasses straps are also available to enhance comfort and convenience. Participants are advised to wear quick-drying clothing and bring a change of clothes to stay comfortable before and after the activity.


On-site facilities further support a smooth experience, with access to lockers, restrooms, and secure bike storage. The surrounding riverside area also offers cafés, pubs, and restaurants, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy refreshments after their time on the water. The combination of adventure, accessibility, and scenic surroundings makes this Thames experience suitable for families, beginners, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Members from South Dublin Badminton Group had a wonderful experience last Saturday 22nd November 2025 with City Kayaking on the River Liffey. Seeing our lovely city from the kayaks was unusual but we really got the time to really see Dublin from a different angle. The tour was lots of fun from start to finish; with plenty of laughs and our competitive streak showing. It was very easy to book as a Group with City Kayaking and I felt it was very well organised and run. I would highly recommend this tour.

We took this service yesterday and had a great experience. Jonathan was very patient, helpful, and a good trainer/teacher. It was grey, cold, and windy day but we had a wonderful and memorable experience. I would recommend this adventure. Note that your pants/legs will get wet from the water dripping from the paddle.

I had an absolutely incredible time kayaking in Dublin! The whole experience was so well-organized from start to finish: friendly guides, great equipment, and a relaxed atmosphere that made it enjoyable for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. Paddling along the water gave such a unique perspective of the city, with stunning views and a really peaceful vibe away from the bustle of the streets. The guides shared fun insights about Dublin’s history and landmarks, which made it even more memorable. I left feeling refreshed, energized, and already planning my next trip back. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting or living in Dublin, it’s an experience you won’t forget!
