📍 Location

Lessons launch from a private pontoon on the River Thames in West Molesey, Surrey. This quiet, non-tidal section of river is ideal for small groups, with minimal current and scenic surroundings including riverside paths, islands, and local wildlife.

Paddlers are guided on river etiquette and safety to ensure a smooth and enjoyable session. Nearby facilities include free car parking, bike storage, lockers, and restrooms for convenience before and after your lesson.

📋 Prerequisites

The person booking must be aged 18 or over, with all participants aged 11 or above. No prior kayaking experience is necessary, and the instructor provides all guidance and safety equipment.

Participants should wear layered, quick-drying clothing suitable for the weather and bring a change of clothes, as cotton and denim become heavy when wet. All provided equipment, including kayaks, paddles, buoyancy aids, and waterproof storage, ensures a safe and enjoyable experience.
