Take on longer stretches of the non-tidal River Thames in Surrey with our double touring kayak hire. Ideal for two paddlers looking for a step up from a sit-on-top kayak, this long, sleek kayak provides excellent tracking and stability, making it perfect for extended trips along the river. Flexible hire options let you paddle from one hour up to a full day.
This double touring kayak is designed for smooth, efficient paddling, with a long waterline that tracks well in a straight line while remaining easy to manoeuvre. Adjustable footrests and seating ensure a comfortable ride, while the sit-in design keeps paddlers drier than a sit-on-top kayak. Its bow allows for easy passage through small waves or choppy sections of the river.
Ample storage space lets you bring spare clothing, picnics, and personal belongings, with waterproof phone cases and dry bags included for convenience. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet afternoon with a friend or tackling a longer adventure, this kayak provides a stable and enjoyable way to experience the river.
Launch from our private pontoon on the non-tidal River Thames in West Molesey, Surrey, giving easy access to calm, scenic waters. The area offers riverside paths, islands, and parks, making it easy to plan a route that suits your time and interests.
The river is shared with other paddlers and small craft, so awareness and courtesy are essential. Extra care should be taken around locks and weirs, and all paddlers are asked to keep to the right-hand side of the river. Respect for other users and riverside property ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Bookings must be made by an adult aged 18 or over, with at least one adult accompanying any junior paddlers. All participants must wear the provided buoyancy aids, and a short safety briefing is given before launch to ensure confidence on the water.
All equipment must be returned before the end of your hire period and removed from the water by dusk. Paddlers should dress appropriately for the conditions, including waterproof clothing if rain or wind is expected, and use a small dry bag for valuables.

We are based on the towpath in West Molesey. It’s an easy place to walk and cycle to and we encourage all our customers to do that if possible – we have plenty of space for bike storage.
If you are driving, the nearest free public parking is at Hurst Park
We do have a limited number of parking spaces here so if you need to drive closer e.g. if you have a lot of kit, young children or elderly relatives, then we’ll try and help.
There are many places you can paddle in London and on the River Thames including from our base in West Molesey near Hampton Court.
We have have our very own pontoon providing a safe place to start and end your paddling and a lovely stretch of the non-tidal River Thames to explore!
Further afield there are many inland waterways but always check to ensure access is allowed – a surprising amount of UK rivers still do not allow paddling.
This truly depends on the experience you are after.
There are various amazing places where beginners can get started and Surrey and London are home to some excellent spots, including around our base near Hampton Court.
Easy to get to, plenty of access points to get on the water, lovely sights and some welcoming cafes and pubs to relax in after your paddle!
For a more urban experience the popular central locations in Paddington, Little Venice and Hackney Wick also gain a lot of traction and attention.
If you’d like to experience paddling on the sea the UK has many stunning locations. Always check local conditions including tides and winds, and listen to the locals! – if its an offshore breeze then its best to stay on the beach!
Kayaks are mostly considered safe to use and are not easy to tip over. The recreational and touring kayaks we use here are extremely stable.
However, that does not mean that they can’t capsize! But it will really depend on the type of boat, the conditions, your experience and the type of water you are planning on paddling in.
Wonderful service, great place and really friendly! Thoroughly recommend!
We had a fantastic morning on the river, the sun was shining and Andy was very helpful in his advice of where we could get to in the time we’d booked. All equipment and facilities great too, very handy to have lockers to leave some bags behind. Would definitely recommend!
Had a great Kayak session with Andy. A knowledgable, friendly and interesting guy and gave me the confidence I needed to start going out on my own kayak reguarly.
