the bath kayak tour
What Is Kayaking?
From the comfort of your tandem kayak, you can sit back and paddle leisurely up the River Avon whilst taking in the sights and sounds of this historic Roman city.
Kayaking affords you the comfort of paddling your own craft but from a sitting down position. This is often favoured by those a little less mobile or for anyone who thinks their balance isn’t quite up for paddle boarding!
From unique kayaking adventures in the heart of Bath to popular Kayak by Night sessions during the evenings; Original Wild’s adventure experts have the kayaking experience for you.
From our very own exclusive launching site at Bath Riverside, you will be welcomed by our fully-qualified and experienced instructors who will talk you through the basics of your upcoming kayak session.
It’s here that you can get yourself changed and leave your bags locked safely away in our large branded Original Wild mobile office. We also suggest leaving any valuables safely in your bag so that they don’t find themselves a new home in the River Avon!
Once you’ve been kitted up with quality buoyancy aids, wetsuit trousers and windproof cags, it’s time to head to the water’s edge so that your Adventure Expert can run through the basics of kayaking.
