The group starts on the estuary, passes Lawrenny and the church of St Caradog, then finishes at the quay. A minibus brings you back to Llanion so you are not walking the riverbank with a board. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 3 hours Meeting point: Llanion, on the River Cleddau Minimum age: 8 years Route: Llanion to Lawrenny, finishing at Cresswell Quay Kit: Paddleboard, paddle, buoyancy aid and wetsuit 🏄 Key Skills Stepping onto a board from the bank A simple forward paddle and a stop Kneeling if the wind picks up Staying with the group on a moving tide Coming back in at Cresswell Quay 👀 What to Expect A few strokes in the shallows come first, then the group leaves the slip at Llanion. The guide sets a line that suits the group: a slower stretch if it is your first stand, or a longer look at the banks if you already feel steady. Nobody is left to find their own way down the river. The start sits around the tide, and we confirm the time the day before. Anyone under 18 needs an adult on the water. Old trainers or shoes that can get wet stay on for the walk to the bank. Give yourself 15 minutes at the slip. 📍 Location The Cleddau estuary above Pembroke Dock is where you put in at Llanion. The paddle follows the river towards Lawrenny, past cottages and the medieval church of St Caradog, and finishes at Cresswell Quay. The water is sheltered compared with the open coast, which suits first stands and mixed families. A minibus waits at the quay and brings you back to the start, so you only need one car. We send the exact pin the day before. Parking is near the meeting point rather than at the finish. ✅ Prerequisites Happy on the water is enough. No paddleboarding experience is needed. Children from 8 can join. Anyone under 18 needs an adult with them on a board or close beside them. Swimwear, a towel, a warm dry layer and shoes you are happy to get wet cover the basics. Tell us any medical notes that affect time on the river. ⭐ Why Choose Us Guides here have paddled this stretch for years and hold ISA and beach lifeguard awards. Sessions are AALA licensed. The river is sheltered, so you still get a useful three hours on the water. Sit-on inflatable boards are stable for first-timers, and the guide stays with the group the whole way. Kit is fitted at Llanion, then the rest of the session is on the river r… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 3 hour guided paddleboard tour from Llanion to Cresswell Quay Paddleboard, paddle, buoyancy aid and wetsuit Safety brief on the bank and a guide with the group Minibus transfer back to Llanion ### What’s not included Transport to and from Llanion Towel, swimwear and dry clothes Food and drinks Parking at the start Personal insurance ### Kit list Swimwear to wear under the wetsuit A towel and a warm dry layer Sunscreen and a water bottle Shoes you are happy to get wet ## FAQs ### How long is the tour? The paddle window is about three hours from the slipway at Llanion to the quay at Cresswell, including a short brief on the bank and time on the water. Most of that window is spent paddling rather than standing around talking on the grass. Give yourself 15 minutes at Llanion so changing does not eat into the paddle. Morning and afternoon starts are usual, and the time is confirmed the day before around the tide on the river. ### Where do we meet? Llanion, on the Cleddau estuary above Pembroke Dock. The exact pin lands the day before. Park at the start, not at Cresswell Quay, because a minibus brings the group back once you step off the boards. The finish is at Cresswell Quay, a quiet inland quay with a pub on the bank. You do not need a second car there. Check your messages the evening before so you drive to the right slip. ### What kit is included? Board, paddle, buoyancy aid and wetsuit, fitted at Llanion. We match the board to your size. Children can share a wider board with an adult when that fits better on a first stand. Leave phones and bags in the car. If someone needs medication on the water, give it to the guide at the start so it can travel in a dry bag. ### Do I need paddleboarding experience? First-timers are the usual group. You should be happy on the water and able to follow a simple instruction. The guide shows you how to paddle and how to stay with the group before you leave the bank. If you have paddled before, say so at the brief. The route can take a longer look at the banks and the church at Lawrenny when the group is already steady on their feet. ### What is the minimum age? Eight. Anyone under 18 needs an adult with them on the water. Children should be happy kneeling on a board and getting a bit wet if they come off in the shallows. Tell us ages so we can put the right boards out. The pace stays with the least confident person, so a mixed family still works, just at a calmer speed on the river. ### What if the weather is poor? Ordinary rain does not cancel a river tour. The start time moves when the wind or tide makes this stretch awkward, or if we cannot run a useful paddle from Llanion that day. Check your messages the evening before if you are travelling a long way, so you have the confirmed start and pin before you leave. The river stays sheltered on a windy day, which is why we still run the three hours from Llanion. ### What should I bring? Swimwear, a towel, a warm dry layer, sunscreen and shoes you are happy to get wet. A water bottle helps. Get changed into swimwear before you arrive if you want to skip the queue for the wetsuits. Flip-flops are fine for the walk from the car, then come off if they will not stay on the board. Leave valuables in the car. Pack a bag for wet swimwear afterwards. ### Do I need to be able to swim? Happy on the water is the bar. The boards are inflatable stand-ups, so you stay on the surface rather than inside a closed cockpit, but you can still fall in and you still need to be comfortable with that. A buoyancy aid is included and a guide stays with the group. If someone is very nervous, say so in advance so we can keep them closer to the bank at the start. ### What will we see? Wooded banks, cottages at Lawrenny and the medieval church of St Caradog on the rise. On a quiet day you may see herons and other birds along the mud at low water. The exact line follows wind and tide. The plan is confirmed the day before so you know whether it is a slower estuary paddle or a longer stretch down to the quay. ### How do we get back to the start? A minibus meets the group at Cresswell Quay and drives you back to Llanion with the boards. You only need to park once, at the start, and you are not walking the riverbank at the end of the three hours. Stay with the group at the quay until the lift is ready. Wet kit goes back on the bus with you, then you change at Llanion before you drive home. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/paddle-boarding.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
