Out Exploring

Canoe Adventures

For all ages and ability, why not try guided 12-seat Voyager canoeing offering you excellent fun on the wonderful River Dart in South Devon year round. The youngest crew to date was little Sarah, aged 12 days; the eldest was Mr George, 87.

Canoe Adventures work from and to the slipway beside the friendly Maltsters Arms at Tuckenhay (TQ9 7EH) halfway between Totnes and Dartmouth, at the head of Bow Creek on the west bank of the glorious Dart.

The Voyager canoes, aka Voyageur, are big and strong and easy to use. Each one comes with steersman-guide, and full canoeing equipment is supplied. Everyone is invited to bring picnics, sometimes BBQs, and often they stop across the river at Stoke Gabriel for ice cream. It is ideal for families with children, for people who gently want to try canoeing, for bold adventurers who've done it before, and for everyone who loves the water and an amazingly beautiful place like the Dart.

No previous experience required. Outings are 4 to 5 hours.
