Family Paddling in The New Forest
Enjoy a gentle introduction and guided canoe and kayak tour of the stunning Beaulieu River Nature Reserve. This 90 minute, family friendly activity is great for all aged 18 months+ and with your expert guide, you’ll soon get to grips with the art of paddling. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Adults are welcome without children, if a longer tour would be too much.
Spend time exploring the hidden creeks and waterways of the stunning Beaulieu River whilst trying to spot the varied wildlife along the way.
Buoyancy aids size down for little ones - this really is the perfect family activity.
