Couples FAQs
The questions couples ask most often when planning a visit.
Whatâs the best activity for two adults?
It depends what youâre after! For a relaxed, scenic experience together, River Explorer is ideal. If youâd like more freedom, Kayak Hire gives you time to explore at your own pace. On land, Archery is great for friendly competition, and Cycle Hire is perfect for a full day out exploring the New Forest.
Do we need any experience or to be super fit?
Not at all. All of our activities for couples are designed for beginners and mixed fitness levels. Our guided sessions include a full safety briefing and coaching, and we adjust the pace so you both feel comfortable and can enjoy the experience.
Whatâs the difference between guided and self-led?
A guided session like River Explorer means youâre on the water with an instructor, who will set the pace, keep you safe and share local stories and wildlife highlights. A self-led hire like Kayak Hire gives you more independence â we kit you up, brief you and give you a map of the Beaulieu River, then you explore under your own steam within a set area and timeframe.
Where do the activities take place?
Most of our couplesâ activities start from in and around Beaulieu, using the Beaulieu River and nearby New Forest locations. Your booking confirmation includes full details of where to meet, parking and timings, plus a link to maps and directions.
Are there places to eat nearby for breakfast or lunch?
Yes â you can easily combine your activity with food and drink. The Master Builderâs House Hotel offers great food right on the riverside, and thereâs a lovely cafĂ© in Beaulieu village, around 5 minutesâ drive away, thatâs perfect for breakfast, brunch or lunch before or after your session.
What happens if the weather is bad, or we need to change our booking?
We run in most normal weather conditions, including light rain â with the right kit it can still be a brilliant experience. If conditions become unsafe (for example, strong winds or thunderstorms), we may need to reschedule your session or offer a credit/refund in line with our booking terms. If you need to cancel or move your booking, please contact us as soon as possible and weâll do our best to help within the timescales set out in the terms shown at checkout and in your confirmation email.
