Canoe & kayak tour agency

Nice staff and good value pizza.

Great fun despite it hammering down for the whole experience. Our guide ( think his name was Joe?) was really friendly and made sure everyone was safe. Gave us a bit of extra guidance after we were ping ponging down the sides. One thing that wasn’t mentioned was parking; the meeting place is at the side of the canal, we asked and was told to use the community centre opposite. If you are lucky enough, they may be selling more cakes there for their scouts visit to London

My family and I did the coasteering trip from Fowey and it was great fun. We ranged in age from 8 to 60 and everyone had a fun, challenging, but safe time. Sam and Scott were excellent guides bringing us to spots along the coast and cliffs that I would have never attempted on my own. I will definitely book more trips with Vertical Descents.

A fantastic experience. My daughter and I did coastering on one day, then sea kayaking on the following day. Both of us loved it, and the instructor Andy was an excellent and patient guide.

A really beautiful experience. Great views and our guide was very calm and kind. She was informative of the local area we were paddling past and let us take the lead on where we wanted to paddle to and how we spent our time. Honestly she was great, made our experience even better. Thank you

Had an amazing day yesterday Paddleboarding with my family from Ripon to Boroughbridge accompanied by Sam. The day was so fun, despite the rain and great value for money. Sam was both professional and very attentive when we fell but equally relaxed and friendly. We were all beginners and by the end of the day we did not feel like beginners at all. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

I have done a couple of trips now with Outdoor Explore and both have been hugely enjoyable. One was a gentle paddle on the River Isla with lots of bird life to see and peace in all directions. The other was on the River Tay at Broughty Ferry which is a great way to see the place from a different angle. Piotr is an excellent instructor, he takes the time to get you comfortable in the kayak before setting off and is patient with those, like myself, who have little experience. As for his guide skills, he knows his stuff on local history and sights and I learned some new things despite living in the area for 25 years. Will definitely be booking again as there is a wide selection of different tours and the experience overall is excellent!

Very easy to paddle. We did the North route. If you hire for three hours you have time to stop off for a drink at the pub. Will definately try a day hire for the longer South route with more pubs and that out of Norwich feeling.

Great fun with plenty of interest and rapids to negotiate. Good equipment and the inflatable kayaks were really maneuverable. Opportunities to take a plunge, rock jump, paddleboard and more. Gary was a knowledgeable and capable instructor. All transport and gear provided. Well worth it.

Great trip for all levels of ability. Trip was paced to match the groups experience which meant we weren't left waiting for less experienced people and were able to explore lots of different areas
