Paddleboarding is a great way to keep fit, make friends, and to see a different side of the city. Join our trips and we'll show you the basics of paddle safety, and paddle technique, including turns, self-rescue, and of course, how to stand-up!
You'll join a group of paddlers on an idyllic stretch of river. Your guide will either take you upriver towards Ham House, or downriver towards Isleworth Ait. All trips return back to our Richmond base, and we have facilities for you to store your belongings for the duration of the session.
We're sure that once you've paddled once, you'll want to do it again, so completing the session allows you to come back at a discounted returning paddler rate. Just select the returning option and enter your returner code when booking.
Paddle and Pick Eco Trips

Returning Paddlers £25pp
Help clean up the river by coming on a plastic clean-up session with us. We know the Thames is not just a beautiful place to paddle, but is also one of the most important wildlife corridors in the UK. We'd like to make sure it remains a safe place for wildlife above and below water.
You will be paddling on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Thames, either upstream towards Eel Pie Island and Teddington, or downstream towards Isleworth, Kew Gardens and Chiswick.
We will provide you with gloves and a litter picker, paddle, buoyancy aid, and of course a board. After a safety briefing our experienced coaches will then take you out on the Thames to help us remove as much plastic from the water as possible. You'll leave the items with us at the end of the trip and we will make sure to recycle as much of it as is possible.

Richmond is an absolutely idyllic and very safe location for stand-up paddleboarding, and you’ll be paddling on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Thames. This 2.5 hour session is open to both beginners and more experienced paddlers.
After a short briefing on paddle safety and technique we'll head out onto the river. Depending on tide and conditions we will either head upriver towards Eel Pie Island and Teddington, or downstream towards Isleworth and Kew Gardens.
We'll choose a place for you and your team to stop for a relaxing drink of your choice (not included in price) and then enjoy the gentle paddle back to base near Richmond Bridge.
From there you can continue your evening at one of the many bars and restaurants in the area, or you can head home, feeling refreshed and ready for the weekend

We will meet you at Ditton Beach (equidistant from Hampton Court or Thames Ditton railway stations). After a safety briefing we will start on our one-way trip to Richmond. This is a fantastic point-to-point trip passing through town and countryside, and will include stops for a coffee and/or a bite to eat.

All the benefits of our Beginner and Improver Sessions, but with a private guided experience for just you, or a select group of friends or family. You'll get all the same coaching and safety guidance, but you can go at your own pace, and as long as it's possible, stop for a coffee or ice-cream along the way.
These sessions are great for someone looking for a special gift, and as with all of our sessions it's possible to buy this session as a gift voucher and choose the date at your leisure.
We also find the single person booking is fantastic for those who are less confident arount water as our fantastic guides will be with you every step, or paddle of the way.
This session is open to paddlers of all abilities, from complete beginners, to those who have paddled many times before. Children over 10 are welcome if they paddle with their parents.
