Canoe Adventures

Canoe Adventures gives good fun guided canoeing in Voyager 12-seat  canoes on the glorious River Dart, South Devon.  Outings go from and to the friendly Maltsters Arms in the village of Tuckenhay on Bow Creek, halfway between Dartmouth and Totnes.

Enjoy the 12-seater experience

Our unique Voyager passage canoes Cheemaun, Tidewing, Melody and Miranda offer luxury canoeing. Each comes with an expert steersman to guide them, personal buoyancy, paddles, picnic mats, flint and steel lit campfire brazier, barbecue kit, quick-rig sun wind or rain shelter, all plus tea, coffee and hotchoc.  You can enjoy the experience of canoeing in safety and comfort and Canoe Adventures welcomes small children and adult novices, as well as suiting bold adventurers.  You can charter a whole canoe, several canoes, or book on one of our many by-the-seat trips. Just give us a call.

Trips to suit you

Canoeing is the perfect way to enjoy the peace of South Devon’s rivers. You can power yourself along or travel at the pace of the tide. The itinerary is up to you. You can enjoy slow tourism with wooden engines, power-assisted by the silent tide, and leaving only ripples behind you. Popular with families, groups, birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts, it is also ideal for:

• Children's parties
• Romantic moonlight adventures and night paddles
• Riverside picnics and barbeques
• Pub lunch or evening meal by canoe
• Ice creams and crabbing at Stoke Gabriel
• Wine tasting and tours at riverside Sharpham Vinyard   
• Bushcraft and team building
• Club and work outings
• Ride a spring tide to Dartmouth 
• Hen and stag trips
• Scouts, Guides, school and youth groups

A trip in our open canoes makes a wonderful special day out, a birthday or anniversary treat. We also offer GIFT VOUCHERS for you to send to friends.
