“First time kayaking and I did the paddle to pub adventure. Great experience, with easy-going instructors.”
“The best experience of the summer! An absolute must! Beautiful views and a stop at the pub, what’s not to like!”
“‘Paddle to the Pub’ was fun and smoothly ran. Everyone in charge got us ready and briefed in such a friendly manner. We wer off and running in no time, stopping off at a great riverside pub too. Everyone was ready to help out should we get lost and checked up on us on the way back.”
“Just wanted to say a big thank you. We had a great time on the twilight paddle and Bruce was really great too, he was very helpful and entertaining. Would definitely recommend it and loved that the weather held out for us too, a very nice serene location and good value for money for this activity 😁👌🏽great way to get some exercise and feel at peace at the same time!”
“We have just returned from a 2 day 2 night camping and kayaking trip and feel like we’ve totally switched off from the real world for a few days!”

We have just returned from a 2 day 2 night camping and kayaking trip and feel like we’ve totally switched off from the real world for a few days!
The trip was both challenging and invigorating. Myself, my friend and our 8 children now feel a real sense of achievement. Our children range in ages from 8 years to 16 years. We have kayaked for 32km over 2 days along canals and rivers, wide and narrow, through reeds, around locks, under trees and down weirs all with guidance of Anthony and Ian. We simply couldn’t have achieved it without them, I most definitely recommend having a guide for your trip.
Along the way we stopped off at some lovely pubs for a much needed refuel. On the evenings we cooked burgers made to order from Ryecroft Farm on the camp bbq and toasted marshmallows around our camp fire laughing about our day paddling. Anthony set the tents and the camp up with everything we required, he was super organised and a really nice guy too. I would 100% recommend. Thank you for a wonderful memorable trip!

“The route we took was very scenic and peaceful it was perfect.”
- Yousra Abdelmoneim, London

A group of four of us went Kayaking from Barrow upon Soar. Anthony our guide offered to pick us up from Leicester city centre and drove us all the way to Barrow upon Soar then later on picked us up after we sent him our location from where we ended up after two hours. He went over and beyond so thank you!
We were all kayaking for the first time and Anthony patiently broke it all down for us. The route we took was very scenic and peaceful it was perfect. I would recommend this for anyone looking to spend a lovely couple of hours kayaking somewhere picturesque and serene. We booked this only an hour in advance and Anthony was super organized about arranging the logistics and our day out.

“The route along the River Soar was beautiful.”
James Bide-Thomas, Leicester
“
Ten of us did the weekend kayaking and camping trip. It was amazing fun. There was a wide range of kayaks available. The best were the double sit in kayaks (especially for tall people). The route along the River Soar was beautiful. The campsite was great, the fire-pit in the woods was particularly beautiful. I would highly recommend this trip!

“What a perfect way to spend a day away from the office”
- James Tudge, CES, Hinckley
“
What a perfect way to spend a day away from the office with a group of managers. Forget your walking along planks, getting a ball from A to B with a bunch of pipes! Get out on the water with Ant and his crew.
A chance to do something different with a team gives you lots of opportunity to get to know each other better, surrounded with constant laughter. Ant and Ian (our guide) quickly discovered what we wanted out of the day and they sure delivered. An absolute fun packed day with regular pubs stops I cannot recommend enough.
If you want a day out of the office you MUST give them a go!!!

“A great weekend. Such a fun route along the Soar.”
- Daniel Ball, Leicester
“
7 of us did a weekend trip with two sessions of yoga. Was a great weekend. Such a fun route along the Soar. Ant the guide was really helpful and gave lots of tips on the water. Really was something for everyone. I wouldn't be put off by being a beginner. 3 of our group have only been in a kayak a handful of times. Highly recommended.
