We were a family of four and wanted a relaxed but fun experience and we got it. Craig was patient and really helpful, especially with a low river and getting stuck. We had fun, lots of chatter and laughter.

Journey down the River Tweed and explore the beautiful Scottish Borders from a new perspective. This canoeing session is ideal for beginners, with stable, spacious boats that make it easy to relax and enjoy the trip. Whether you're with friends, family, or colleagues, this paddle from Stobo to Peebles offers a perfect opportunity for a fun and sociable experience.
Your adventure begins in Stobo with a briefing from our experienced instructors, who will guide you through the basics of canoeing. After the briefing, you will set off along the River Tweed, paddling through calm waters and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The canoes are designed for comfort and stability, ensuring you can focus on taking in the scenery while paddling with a partner, making it a fun and sociable experience.
The trip lasts around 3 hours, with a mid-point stop for a break and an opportunity to enjoy some snacks. This stop allows you to appreciate the beauty of the area before continuing your paddle to Peebles. If you can arrange transport to return to Stobo, that's fantastic, but don't worry if not—we can assist with transport options.
The River Tweed winds through the gorgeous Scottish Borders, offering a calm and scenic setting for your canoeing adventure.
Starting at Stobo, you will travel along the river, taking in beautiful views of green hills and tranquil landscapes before reaching Peebles, a charming town that marks the end of your journey.
Please note: The guide can transport up to five people back to the meeting point at the end of the trip to collect their car if needed.

Generally two people would normally share a boat, but some have 3 seats so can add a third person if needed.
We always aim to provide as much notice as possible if an activity cannot go ahead. This might occur due to factors such as high river levels for canoeing or severe weather warnings for wind.
Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances may require us to cancel at short notice. In such cases, we will do our best to offer an alternative activity or location.
If we have to cancel an activity, any money paid will be fully refunded.
