Overview

The River Dart is a special place. Stunningly beautiful scenery, never busy, and always something to discover. You might even spot a seal! Our guides will look after you and make sure that you are safe as well as show you the prettiest corners of the Dart estuary. Small group sizes and experienced guides will help you relax and connect with nature.

What's included

  • We provide one waterproof roll top bag per boat for your phone, wallet etc.
  • Every paddler will receive a buoyancy aid which must be worn
  • We provide stable canoes (up to 2 adults and 2 kids in each canoe) with paddles
  • Please bring your own clothing and shoes suitable to get wet and possibly muddy.

What to expect

For our half-day canoe trip please check in with your guide at the starting location in Totnes. We will hand out buoyancy aids and dry bags for your belongings to take on the river, followed by a 15 mins safety briefing and how-to paddle instructions.

We will then get on the water and paddle for around 1.5 hrs with the tidal flow which helps us along gliding through the stunning landscape. We will start in Totnes and paddle either upriver towards Dartington or downriver past Sharpham estate and towards Stoke Gabriel. There is no rush and well will make sure that the paddle speed suits all of the group members. After 1.5hrs we will have our halfway break for about 30 mins by the side of the river with tea or coffee / hot chocolate provided. After the break, we will paddle back to the start which will take up to 1.5 hours. Our friendly guides will be with you the whole time happy to help and share some knowledge about the river.
