Description

Join us on a guided trip of the River Hamble. This is one of the best ways to explore the beautiful river. Led by an experienced guide, this experience will help you progress with your paddle boarding journey allowing you to venture further than you might have before.

We will start by making sure everyone is safely kitted up and ready to get on the water. Once on the water, we will teach you the skills you need for the trip.

As you venture up the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery, your guide will point out local knowledge and the array of wildlife around you.

During this experience, you might stop and play games or take part in daring challenges to test yourself on the water. As you reach the midpoint on the trip, you will have a short break allowing you to either relax on the shoreline or paddle around locally knowing your guide is close by (weather and time permitting for break).

At the beginning of the session you will be asked to select a cold drink which you would like for the midpoint. This will be taken up the river by your guide for you to enjoy during the break.

On your return journey you will paddle back towards the centre.

Each Safari includes a safety briefing, paddle, board and buoyancy aid.

Check out our FAQ's page for any additional information.
