Activities

Stand Up Paddleboarding

Whether it’s your first time on a SUP or looking to polish your paddling, our session is tailored to your pace and ability. Our coaches excel in helping you master the technique more efficiently, ensuring you leave with new skills and a greater love for paddleboarding.

Beginner Friendly

You don’t need any previous experience to join as our instructor will guide you through everything you need to know to paddle confidently on the water, and all essential equipment is provided. We’ll go at a relaxed pace, taking in the captivating surroundings as we go. Plus the downstream direction we’ll be taking means this should be a calm and comfortable day out on the water.

If you’ve done paddleboarding before, you’ll definitely still get something from this adventure as you’ll find our SUP route to be an unmissably gorgeous one, no matter your experience level!

Location

Once everyone is comfortably up and paddling, we'll embark on a serene journey along the River Avon. We are thrilled to explore this untouched stretch of water, starting at the picturesque Claverton Weir—a popular spot for wild swimming—before making our scenic return to Bath. This tranquil, boat-free area is teeming with wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for kingfishers darting above the water, and you might even catch a glimpse of a beaver in its natural habitat!

We’ll also take a leisurely pause en route for a floating picnic—so be sure to bring your packed lunch!

By the end of our session, you'll have gained the essential skills and confidence to join our River and Canal SUP Adventure Day in Bath!
