Enjoy a scenic kayaking adventure near Bristol on the beautiful River Avon. Tucked away in the peaceful Avon Valley just outside Keynsham, these two-hour guided trips are a brilliant way to explore the countryside, spot wildlife and enjoy a relaxed paddle in nature. The activity base is set on a farm estate with direct access to the river, so you will be on the water in no time. You will be provided with stable, sit-on-top kayaks that are easy to paddle and suitable for two adults or a mix of adults and children. All safety equipment is included, with wetsuits available to hire on the day if needed. Led by an experienced instructor, each trip follows the gently meandering Avon. With expert local knowledge, your guide will help you spot wildlife along the banks, with kingfishers, deer and even otters often seen during the journey. This calm, quiet stretch of river feels like a moving safari, offering far more to see than manmade waterways or inland lakes. Suitable for ages 12 and over and easily accessible from Bristol, these guided kayaking trips are perfect for families and beginners, with no previous experience required.
