Guided River Trip

Embark on an unforgettable river trip with Paddleboard Maidenhead! Our guided trips depart from Boulters Lock in Maidenhead and take you along the scenic River Thames towards Cliveden. Enjoy a relaxing paddle while taking in breathtaking views of the Berkshire countryside, discovering wildlife, local history and geology.

For just £25 per person (plus an extra £20 if you don't have your own equipment), take to the water on one of our top-of-the-line paddleboards for a truly special experience. Whether you are fairly new to paddleboarding ( you need to have had least one lesson before) or looking to advance your skills, our experienced guides will ensure that everyone has a memorable time! We paddle this scenic stretch almost every day however we can take you on other stretches of the Thames when you are ready for a change of scenery, we paddle all times of the day.

Sign yourself up for a trip and or bring a friend or family member- they must of paddled at least once before or they need to take a SUP Starter class first, you can also use this as a refresher class, it will also be on the Thames if the conditions are right.

At least one experienced senior instructor will accompany you at all times.

All under 18's must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you select the equipment hire then this includes board, paddle, buoyancy aid, dry bag and jacket .In light of recent press coverage of water quality of the Thames,

we are part of a local river watch group to assess E.coli levels- Link to test results. Weekly tests show levels generally considered to be safe (less than a count of 100) and the results are actually in the "Excellent" category for bathing water based on the Environmental Agency criteria. At present wild swimmers are enjoying this stretch of the Thames every day!

What to wear depends on the weather on the day. Crocs, sliders, flip flops or water shoes are suitable to get you to the board then barefoot paddling is best.

Always bring a drink and changes of clothes. No cotton clothes unless hot weather.
