Paul and his team give the best kayak experience. So passionate about the river, Paul gives you a river briefing, ensures you’re strapped into a life jacket (provided) properly and sends you off in the right direction.

His friendly, easy-going personality and generosity made a huge difference to our experience. Would definitely do it again soon. Thanks for an...
