The River Stour feels different at the end of the day 🌿

Our Evening Paddle Group is a relaxed way to get out on the water, spend time with other paddlers and make the most of the last of the light.

The next group paddle is Thursday 10 September at Fordwich.

We had such a lovely White Cliffs session with the Keepers Cottages team 🌊

Paddling together from Kingsdown in double sea kayaks gave everyone a completely different view of the Kent coast, with the White Cliffs rising above the water.

We would love to welcome more groups out beneath the cliffs during September. The next Guided Taster date is Sunday 6 September. Every trip depends on the weather and tide, so the exact route always follows the conditions.

Canoe, kayak and paddleboard - a brilliant family day out on the River Stour 🌿

A recent Canoe Wild visitor booked all three so everyone could choose a craft and enjoy the river together. Their verdict was simple: "We all had a great time. An hour flew by!"

That is exactly what general hire is for - choosing what suits each person and sharing the water together.

One last chance to swap screen time for river time before school is back 🌊

Our final planned Young Paddlers session of the school holidays is Wednesday 2 September, from 10am to 2pm at Grove Ferry.

It gives 8 to 14 year olds four active hours of paddling, games, teamwork and new skills. No previous paddling experience is needed, but children do need to be water-confident.

White Cliffs sea kayaking looks even better with a whole group out on the water 🌊

This Saturday's St Margaret's Bay out & back trip heads out from Kingsdown Beach, for a longer guided experience beneath the White Cliffs. It's an adults-only session for people with reasonable fitness, and some previous kayaking experience is recommended.

Every sea session depends on the weather and tide, so the final route always follows the conditions.

We've had such a good Doggy Paddle Day on the River Stour today 🐾

Seeing four-legged paddlers take to the water with their favourite humans is always brilliant. Here's a little Doggy Paddle Day joy to finish the evening.

Would you and your dog be brave enough to join us next time?
