Is this for you?​

"This is simply one of the best fresh water paddles in the UK! This loop has 2 waterways, 2 aqueducts to paddle across, weirs, water races, wildlife and some stunningly beautiful stretches of water that will completely relax every fibre of your being.

Join us for our exclusive women-only SUP adventure in Bath. A full day stand up paddling on the Avon River, Kennet and Avon Canals, weaving through beautiful countryside and paddling across two aqueducts too!

This is a full day paddleboarding, created for those who’ve paddled a few times before. It’s an excellent opportunity build your confidence on the board and cover longer distance in a super fun and welcoming environment.

Our SUP Day Adventures are a great escape from the business of everyday life. A chance to reconnect with nature, meet new friends and explore stunning waterways, rivers, lakes and coastlines. This adventure is a full day of paddling - meandering through the countryside and maybe having a little wild swim too.

If you’ve never SUPed before, we ask you to please have a lesson before joining our longer day paddles.

I went on the Bath SUP trip, I'd only been out a few times before and was worried I'd be slow. The teacher was absolutely brilliant, I learned a huge amount and was taught how to paddle properly, I wasn't slow :)
The setting is beautiful, I can't express what a wonderful experience it was! We also got pointers on how to plan for longer trips, basic first aid kits to carry etc. I can't recommend this experience enough!​
