Great time with great guides

Had a great time kayaking in Totnes! The guides were really friendly and made the whole trip fun and easy, even if you're not experienced. The views were beautiful, and everything was well organized. Definitely worth doing it and was very fun. Would happily do it again!

Fantastic idea for a hen!

I couldn’t recommend Paddle Devon enough!! I booked a kayak trip for 15 girls on a hen and Nils was so commutative from the get go. He was giving me updates on the weather and was super organised. He made sure we had lots of fun, was super attentive and had games up his sleeve. We also saw two seals!! Such a fab day out in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you Nils!

reserve sold out trip

i dont know whwther thus is tripadvisor issue or the company but when i clicked check availability, a reserve window opened and required me to enter my identity data, gdpr including my bank card for payment. so i entered all and when i wanted to pay, i got a nessage that it was unable to pay as it was sold out. just waste of my tine and misuse of gdpr.

Unexpected bonus seals.

Had a wonderful trip from Steamer Quay upstream to the north of Dartington with Phil from Paddle Devon. Did not expect to see seals and a steam train! Beautiful, clear water, flat as a millpond. Pace was nice and moderate so we could take in the scenery and wildlife, without feeling pressured (we are in our 60s). Highly recommended.

Brilliant trip with the kids! 10/10

We had an absolutely fantastic canoe trip with Nils from Paddle Devon. Me and the kids aged 10 and 14 did a half day tour from Totnes and enjoyed every second. Nils was super helpful and knowledgable and really great company too! We saw a seal and lots of different birds and stopped off at a pretty little village for ice cream. The perfect trip. Will be back. 10/10. Thanks Paddle Devon 🛶❤️✨
