Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I wouldn’t even hesitate to book a session, it was amazing
Oct 2023 • Solo
The entire thing from start to finish was excellent!

I had a hour lesson and it just flew by, my instructor was extremely professional and very friendly and easy to talk to, he answered all of my questions, I’d never done paddle boarding before, but after that 1 lesson it’s definitely sparked a love for being out on the water.

I would honestly recommend anyone who is thinking of giving it a go, to just go for it, book a lesson! I can’t wait to get back out on the water again! I would 100% recommend this place to absolutely anyone who asked me until I was blue in the face!

Get out there and have a go, it’s brilliant!

And a massive thankyou to my instructor, very patient and you can tell he really cares about you having a good experience, I will definitely be returning for another paddle soon!

Kayak private lesson
Sep 2023 • Friends
Nice welcome from the team for my friend Dawn, very informative and a good way to get shown the ropes before venturing out on her own, at the end of the lesson she felt that she had learned a lot and was confident enough to join us out on the river the following day. Really good experience for her.
Thanks to Mark and staff

Wing Foiling introduction
Sep 2023 • Solo
Great session, got the gist of the wing on land, before hitting the water with my instructor. He made sure I was confident at the basics standing and turning, staying close by on another board. Once i got the basics we got a lift from the rib boat out to more open waters, where we could start to catch a bit more wind speed and flow.
Felt safe and supported the whole way, all the staff know there stuff.
Highly recommended.

Paddle boarding morning!
Sep 2023 • Friends
The kids did paddle boarding with a group of their friends. My two (9 and 12) have never been. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to coming back again. Mark and Lucy were helpful, friendly and calm with the kids. I asked quite a few questions and they were happy to answer them all. Mark made them all hot chocolate after the session. It was a lovely morning out for the kids. We hope to see you guys soon :)
