We are happy to announce that we are now offering Canoe Adventures for whole boat bookings from the same bubble or family group.
NB: We will NOT be operating our 'By-the-Seat' adventures, ie for individuals, couples and small groups for the rest of the season.
As a small group alternative we can arrange kayak hire on sit-on-top kayaks from Stoke Gabriel, via Totnes Kayaks Ltd. For more info please contact mail@totneskayaks.co.uk www.totneskayaks.co.uk
Our standard adventures last 4.5 to 5 hours.
Times vary daily according to the tide and prior booking is essential.
Most adventures start and finish at the excellent Maltsters Arms, Tuckenhay (TQ9 7EQ), lying halfway between Totnes and Dartmouth. Parking is nearby. We also start from Stoke Gabriel, which is on the other side of the estuary between Totnes and Paignton, and occassionally from Totnes, Dittisham and Dartmouth. Totnes and Dartmouth only allow coach access. There is a towing and transport fee for ports other than Tuckenhay and Stoke Gabriel, applied to private group bookings.
* Please note child and family tickets are not always valid on our specials and late night pub to pub adventures.
We have a fleet of 6 canoes with a capacity to get 60 adults out on the water at any one time, up to 69 if you have very small children:
Additional optional costs for private groups:
The All-aboard, everybody-welcome, Canoe Adventures classic, formerly known as “Friends and Family By-the-seat”. It’s the ‘perfect day out’ we’ve been running for 21 years. Proper, timeless, quality, healthy fun for friends and family to enjoy together, on the water and on the shore. Paddling, ice creams, firebuilding, crabs, seals, laughter & chat, tea & biscuits and more. All rolled up in one great adventure paddling through the magnificent landscape that is our River Dart estuary. Remembered as the best day of their holidays by kids from up and down the country, many of who are now grown up (almost ;-)).
The itinerary for this trip includes the following activities.
You’ll find some of Devon’s finest pubs on the shores of the River Dart estuary. And what better way to visit them than in a giant canoe, taking in all the amazing scenery along the way? Our series of pub-to-pub adventures do just that. Start and end at a pub and stop at another pub midway, with options for dining there.
For the real magic check our, now legendary, ‘pub-to-pub and home by moonlight adventures’, when you paddle home under the stars. Please note child tickets are not valid on our late evening adventures.
Please ask if you would like to do this adventure as a private boat booking. It makes for an excellent team building event, or a unique way to spend some quality time with your friends. Dates additional to those given below may be possible.

Join us for a very special Canoe Adventure to experience the full magic of the River Dart estuary over nightfall and daybreak. We paddle up river as the sun goes down, camp out and wake with the dawn. We'll cook dinner and breakfast over an open fire. We start and end at the excellent Maltsters Arms pub so, if you want to spoil yourself further, come early for a pre-expedition pint and round things off the next day with a full English breakfast (not included in the price!). You will be back ashore by 0930 approx.
Also available as a private boat booking. Minimum Group size 5 or 6 people at £570. Make it a longer adventure by adding a pub lunch adventure the day before or after your overnight camp.
