THAMES RIVER ADVENTURES TOUR PACKAGES

See unique views of London’s spectacular historical buildings and landmarks as you have never seen them before. We cater for both beginners and experienced kayakers and canoeists, just bring a sense of fun and adventure. The River Thames is not the only major waterway in London, a network of canals completed in the nineteenth century; connect the River with the city and some of its famous parks.

Take one of our tour packages, or discuss your individual preference, as part of the experience with Thames River Adventures.

If you fancy doing something a bit more adventurous while on holiday or on your day off, then give kayaking on the River Thames a try. It's fun, it's active, and it's also a great way to see the Sights of London.
Your experience begins with an induction of safety training and an introduction to your equipment from your qualified instructor followed by an outline of your day. You will be shown a variety of skills used by the experts and you'll quickly get the hang of handling your craft. Kayaking is a fun and exhilarating experience that is difficult to beat for the sheer pleasure of powering yourself silently across the water.
Our professional kayak instructors will see that your adventure is both safe and enjoyable.

TOUR PACKAGES

Sunrise romantic tours; choice of 2 packages: Price: £75 per person

Sunrise or Sunset Tour 1.
Sunrise under Tower Bridge (usually commences about 5-6am for approximately 2 hours) - An early morning start is not normally described as romantic although rising before dawn for a kayak on the River Thames to see the sunrise under London’s famous Tower Bridge is well worth setting the alarm for.

Sunrise or Sunset Tour 2.
Sunrise alongside Regent’s Park on Regent’s Canal (usually commences about 5-6am for approximately 2 hours)

Alternatively, take your sunrise tour alongside London’s Regent’s Park on the canal. It is a calm and peaceful way to start the day. Both tours usually start from 5-6am, depending upon the tide and the time of the Sunrise. You will meet with your Instructor who provides and guides you through your equipment and safety training. From here on in, it is pure pleasure all the way gently paddling along!
