Susi and the team were excellent. The facilities and location for our very first time on SUPs were great. We had a blast!




Transform your post-work evenings this summer with an enchanting coastal paddleboarding journey. Experience the beauty of beaches, rocky inlets, cliffs, and islands, while encountering fascinating wildlife such as puffins, seals, and occasionally dolphins. Our evening paddleboarding sessions offer a serene and invigorating way to explore the waters between North Berwick and historic Dunbar.
As you glide over the water, you'll be treated to a unique perspective of both the surface and the underwater world. Our route takes us through breathtaking locations, including Seacliff Beach, the majestic Tantallon Castle, and the Bass Rock, home to the world's largest gannet colony. Under the guidance of your ASI-qualified professional guide, you'll learn effective paddleboarding techniques and water safety, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
Our evening paddleboarding sessions navigate the scenic stretch between North Berwick and Dunbar. The locations are chosen for their natural beauty and historical significance, providing a tranquil yet stimulating paddling environment.
We will meet at our base at Hedderwick Hill Stables, By Belhaven, Dunbar, EH42 1XF (signposted Hedderwick Hill Farm off the A1087). We will drive you to the chosen location from there.
No previous paddleboarding experience is required, although a basic level of fitness and comfort in the water is recommended. Both beginners and intermediate paddlers will find the session rewarding.
Our sessions are an immersive experience in the beauty of Scotland's coast. We focus on small group sizes to ensure personal attention and a high-quality experience. Our commitment to safety and skill development, combined with the chance to witness incredible wildlife and landmarks, makes our evening paddleboarding sessions a must-do summer activity.

We are based at Hedderwick Hill Stables, by Belhaven, Dunbar EH42 1XF. It’s really easy to find – just take the turn-off to Hedderwick Hill Farm on the A1087. This is 25 miles east of Edinburgh by Dunbar.
There’s changing, coffee and lots of space to hang out. From here you will be driven to a spectacular paddleboarding location around 10 – 20 minutes away.
Most of our paddleboarding sessions take place in the ocean. However, paddle boarding becomes very challenging in high winds and sea swell. In these conditions, we head inland to a beautiful calm 2km long lake in a forest.
If you are interested in a custom adventure for you and your group, there is flexibility on age limits. Please message the adventuro team via the live chat, who will be happy to facilitate this arrangement.

For coasteering, The National Coasteering Charter (NCC) is an advisory membership organisation providing coasteering companies and guides with support and advice as well as the benchmark for safety for this activity.

ASI [Academy of Surf Instructors] is the world’s leading professional membership organisation and international governing body for instructors, coaches and schools in the outdoor recreation industry for surfing, stand up paddle boarding and body boarding. We are an accredited ASI school and instructor training centre, this means our instructors are of the highest possible professional standards. ASI creates and sets the international standards and continuously investigates and researches industry practices and liaises with the industry itself and government departments around the world, to ensure we are at the leading edge for the provision of education, accreditation, standards and safe practices, and with respect and harmony with nature.
All our adventures take place in the mountains and ocean so a level of fitness is required. We also like to make our adventures accessible to a wide variety of clients.
In the ocean, clients should be confident in cold water and full immersion – and be able to swim 15m.
All our adventures are continually risk assessed as part of our planning and professional procedures. This assessment is also integrated into our insurance process.
As a responsible and ethical adventure company we are committed to the wild and natural environment we work in. We strive to put the planet first in everything we do.
We recognise that a love for our beautiful wild places demands active participation in the fight to save them. This is of course a dynamic process and we are always striving to minimise our impact in, educate our clients on and improve our contribution towards, our natural environment.
We align as partners with adventuro, who are a net-zero company from day-one, partnering with Rewilding Britain to protect our playground.
