What Can I Expect
Our river kayaking choice voucher - valid for kayaking adventures all over Sussex! Pick which river you’d like to explore on a guided kayak tour and get ready for a waterborne adventure.
The launch locations for these kayak outings are on carefully selected rivers in East and West Sussex. All tours are suitable for beginners with little or no paddling experience and all the gear and teaching is included too.
The instructors hosting and guiding these kayak trips are British Canoe Union (BCU) qualified and are passionate about kayaking and many other outdoor pursuits, as well as appreciating the local wildlife and environment enormously.
The settings for these kayak adventures in Sussex are stunning. From ever-changing tidal flows, to gently meandering rivers, each itinerary has its own characteristics, as well as lots to see and admire as you paddle on by.
Outings last upward of five hours in total and at the end of your adventure, there’s always time to savour a warming hot drink on the river’s edge. It’s the perfect moment to reflect on what you’ve seen and how well you paddled!
And remember, there’s no need to pick your choice of trip when buying your kayaking choice voucher, you do that when booking in with the supplier for your river paddle adventure in Sussex.
