EXCELLENT Based on 470 reviews Posted on Aye Chan May I had such a great experience at the kayaking lesson yesterday! The instructor was friendly, patient, and made everything easy to understand, even for beginners. The session was well organised, fun, and really enjoyable from start to finish. I felt safe and supported throughout, and it was a fantastic way to build confidence on the water. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to try kayaking or improve their skills!Posted on Tracy Stephenson I booked a 2 hour kayak trip from Hampton Court for my friends birthday . Andy was my contact and really helpful re making the right decision re timings etc. On the day Andy had to move our location but gave us a more comfy kayak and an extra hour for the inconvenience which was great. We were given a briefing and assisted in getting ready then headed off on the Thames. We had such a laugh and even moored up to have a drink . would recommend.Posted on Naima Siddiqi Had a 1:1 lesson with Andy today and it was brilliant, could not fault - very kind, knowledgeable instruction which had me standing much earlier than I expected. Helped by glorious weather. Highly recommended 🤩Posted on Amanda Saunders Super relaxed, friendly and professional. Had a wonderful paddle up river as the sun set.Posted on Annie Davies Great instructor (Andy). Amazing experience, views of wildlife. Loved it.Posted on Peter Bloomfield Really brilliant setup on a lovely part of the river. Would definitely recommend and will be going again! (1 hour SUP hire).Posted on Kunal Mistry Excellent place and Andy was absolutely great. Communication for booking process was great and kept good communication throughout Andy was a brilliant teacher. Thorough and the tuition was both fun and very informative and has given me the confidence to Kayak Facilities and equipment very good too ExcellentPosted on Susan Petite I took a 1:1 paddle board lesson with Andy. I was really nervous as a beginner and scared I’d fall in the river, but Andy was amazing. His calm, patient approach made me feel completely safe. I ended up loving it, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend him if you’re new to paddle boarding.
