'The perfect day out' we have been running for over 21 years.  Remembered as 'the best day of the holidays' by children up and down the country, many of whom are now grown up and bringing their own children!

Paddling, ice cream, firebuilding, catching crabs, tea, hot chocolate and laughter, all rolled into one great adventure.  Proper, timeless, healthy fun for friends and family to enjoy together on the water and on the shore.

Think of your Canoe Adventure as a whole day out.  Adventures last for 3.5 to 5 hours and we're not paddling all the time.  In fact we spend as much time on the shore as we do on the water.  We break the paddling up into 20-50 minute sections, with two decent breaks on the shore in between.  

One 'civilised' stop to visit the River Shack Cafe at Stoke Gabriel, with toilets and ice creams. 

One longer, ‘wild’ stop where we stop on the shore somewhere only accessible by boat.  Here we have a picnic (bring your own), chill out, build a fire, have a brew (we provide), maybe play some games, catch some crabs, chat, whatever is appropriate to the age and interests of the group.  We watch the tide turn and once it is running in our favour we paddle back.    

And most adventures start and end at The Maltsters Arms pub so allow some time for a drink or meal there afterwards (booking essential if you want to eat there).

Tuesday 20th August we will start at Stoke Gabriel and hope to get as far as Dartmouth on a big tide.
