This is an Adventure Paddle for people who have paddle boarded before (not beginners) and would like to paddle past Henry VIII beautiful Hampton Court Palace.

The paddlers will all be given a Buoyancy Aid (PFD) and Waist Leash for added safety, plus a top-quality board and paddle.

The Tour will leave our base at The Albany Pub and paddle upstream to the wonderful Palace where the guide will take photographs of you for your Instagram and other Socials and hear some of the naughty tales from the area of what Kings and Commoners got up to back in time. We will then explore some of the backwaters on a little safari sometimes having to mount/dismount our boards to get over obstacles. Not for beginners!

Finally, we will return to the Pub where you can enjoy a great meal or drink. Please let us know when booking this Adventure if you would like us to book you a table at the pub (food and drink charged separately by the pub).
