See London as it is meant to be, from the river! 

Journey time is a good 3 hours, is with the tidal flow making the trip suitable for all abilities including complete beginners, if you never have paddled a kayak don't worry, this is a physical activity similar to going for a long brisk walk.

They use stable double kayaks with enclosed cockpits and equipped with rudders. This design of kayak has been extensively tested on the Thames and all their kayaks are also licenced by the The Port of London. The river is a busy environment with associated river traffic and strong tidal flow; the guides will keep you out of harms way so you can enjoy the river and it’s stunning surroundings.
