Discover the historical and natural beauty of the Thames with our Hampton Court Adventure Paddleboarding Tour. This 1.5-hour tour offers a unique perspective of some of England's most iconic landmarks from the tranquility of the water.
Begin your journey at The Albany, a quintessential English riverside pub, where your paddleboarding adventure kicks off.
As you glide past the majestic Hampton Court Palace, you can almost picture the historical arrivals of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The tour then takes you to explore the Islands of Hampton, where you'll be captivated by luxury floating homes and a vibrant ecosystem. A highlight is visiting Astoria, the famed houseboat studio where Pink Floyd crafted several of their iconic albums. Along the way, keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife that calls this part of the Thames home.
Your memorable tour concludes back at The Albany, where you have the option to relax and indulge in refreshments or a meal (not included in the tour price).
The tour starts and ends at The Albany in Thames Ditton, Surrey, located conveniently close to central London (just 35 mins from Waterloo Station), nestled in the picturesque settings of the Thames.
We ask that you please park responsibly in the local area. There is parking available at The Albany Pub, and if you use it, the team would love to welcome you in afterward for a post-paddle recovery drink. The team are also happy for you to access toilets through the pub, and would be appreciative if you buy a beverage by way of thank you for using their facilities.
