đ Hampton Court | Morning SUP trip đ
Join us on England's most iconic river where we paddle past Hampton Court Palace, and stop for a picnic.
River Thames | 4 mile paddle
Paddling down river, passing through Hampton court Bridge, then past the palace itself. Then over to a river beach for a break (and snacks)!! There will be plenty of photo opportunities and we encourage you to bring a picnic if the weather plays ball. Once rested and recharged, we will embark on a mini adventure around Thames Ditton Island, then back towards our starting point. This route is surrounded by historic landmarks, combined with wildlife and a tranquil atmosphere. A paddle boarding trip not to be missed.Â

This is for beginner/intermediates. Starting with a land briefing, followed by a short refresher to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident on their board. The Thames is a busy river, and we will need to portage. You must be comfortable paddling in such environment to be able to join.

FAQâS
Can I come solo? Absolutely

Age requirements? Adults only
âOur river trips are designed as an opportunity to retreat from the hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature. With small group sizes and an emphasis on having fun outdoors, our trips are all about the journey, not the destination. You set the pace".
𩹠The quality of our local waterways is something to always be aware of and itâs important to do your own research regarding this. When paddle boarding with us we ask that you cover up any minor cuts and abrasions, and to wash once you are home if you fall/swim in the river, this is to reduce the risk of disease such as weil's disease. Paddle Up strongly recommends not to participate in paddling if I have any open wounds, and instead to reschedule. Read our FAQ's here.
