Adrenaline, adventure and a beautiful river! Our beginners white water kayak trips are a customer favourite, and a fantastic day out. Suitable for complete beginners, we supply all the kit and teach you the basic skill to navigate this beginner friendly section of the river Dart. Our expert guides will ensure you have a blast whilst staying safe. Expect laughter, some challenge, a sense of achievement, maybe a little swim and some new skills that might have you hooked on white water!

Born of an epic bespoke booking for nearly 50 cadets, this day out is perfect for large groups of adventurers. All in one day you’ll climb hound tor, undertake a huge abseil, tackle the ridge scrambling challenge and explore the granite bowels of Dartmoor whilst weaselling. And to top if off you’ll navigate between these epic challenges your self. 

Experience south devon from a completely different perspective; our estuary and coastal tours take you along beautiful tidal water and rugged coastlines, where you’ll glide past dramatic cliffs, peaceful inlets and wildlife rich blue spaces. It’s relaxed and scenic, perfect for first timers and those who just can’t stay away! We bring all the equipment, and provide you with a safety brief, the basic skills to make your paddling smooth and local knowledge. This unique experience is great for families, friends and anyone who loves being on the water! Choose between a canoe, kayak or paddleboard to tailor your trip.

Ready to scale Dartmoor’s rugged tors, the hard way? We offer a whole range of climbing, abseiling, weaselling and scrambling adventures. Suitable for beginners of all ages and those who’ve climbed before, a day on Dartmoor’s granite is a challenging and fun day out.

  • Climbing, uses ropes to keep you safe as you ascend a near vertical route up a tor.
  • Abseiling, starts at the top and you control your descent, feeling very much like a spy. Under expert supervision to keep you safe of course.
  • Weaselling is a bit like caving above ground, you’ll explore a tor by squeezing through small holes and gaps, sidling through caves and climbing over stacked boulders. You’ll get a little grubby and discover there’s a lot more to Dartmoor’s tor than you thought.
  • Scrambling is a kind of hybrid between walking and scrambling. More on that below.

We provide experienced and qualified instructors who will bring all the kit you need, set up before you get there and look after you all day, ensuring your safety and teaching you some new skills and knowledge along the way.

A taste of mountaineering on Dartmoor! Our beginner friendly ridge scramble challenge will test your head for heights and take you on a true adventure. Our experienced guides will show you the route across this exposed ridge and ensure you keep your footing. Scrambling sits somewhere between walking and climbing – some sections are walkable, some sections you’ll need your hands and some short sections will feel more like climbing. No previous experience is needed, but an adventurous spirit is a must!

Curious about paddlesports, but not sure if its for you? Not sure if the kids would like a chilled our journey? Our play-based taster sessions are perfect for younger kids and families, we can be based at a beach or riverbank for lots of fun, games and falling in. Perfect for a first try and paddling! We can provide, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards as well as all the safety equipment to go with them.

Dartmoor mountain biking is some of the finest in the uk, and bikes are a fantastic way to explore south devon. For our guided mountain bike rides our expert coaches use their local knowledge to choose a route tailored to you and your aims. We offer mountain biking to riders of all levels, if you’ve got your own bike then we can go anywhere. But as we don’t yet hold a fleet of bikes, if you need a bike we can arrange hire for you at one of our local trail centres. Mountain biking is a great way to get some fresh air and exercise with a healthy dose of challenge and the buzz of achievement when its all over.

Not just a day trip, something more. Unplugged, wild and peaceful. Wild camping is the best way to reset and recover from the modern world! Combined with walking, paddling or mtbing a camp can turn a day trip into an epic expedition.

White Water Kayaking On Dartmoor
We were lucky to win this family adventure day as Dartmoor Adventures had generously donated to a charity ball raising money for teenage cancer. We were all novice kayakers with a teeny bit of experience. Chris was efficient and very knowledgeable. The activity was challenging and exciting too. We felt very safe and enjoyed our day. Highly recommend this company - you will be in good hands.

Whitewater Rafting with Dartmoor Adventures
Guides (Chris & Tom) were very good coaches on our white water kayaking experience. They catered difficulty to our group very well, always pushing us a bit further which was great. Also a perfect balance of organisation and casual approach!

Excellent kayak coaching
Chris was a great coach on the river Dart in the kayak. Knowledgable, enthusiastic and chatty. I got a lot out of the day and will likely book in again next season.

Excellent weekend of white water kayaking, climbing and abseiling with Chris at Dartmoor Adventures. Well organised and safe but with some fun challenges - and he is good at dealing with the unexpected!

My husband and I were gifted a beginners white water kayaking experience and were a little apprehensive at first as we weren't that experienced. We found the day amazing however and the guidance received was excellent. Our instructor took us onto a calm section and assessed our skill level. He tailored the day around our ability and energy and pushed us just the right amount. The Dart was truly beautiful with the perfect degree of challenge on the water. Thanks Dartmoor Adventures, we'll definitely be coming back!

My two sons and my husband went for a two day bespoke kayaking on river Dart. Incredible experience building their confidence and skills. Complete trust in Chris being able to rescue them if ever required. Chris was super encouraging, amazing teacher and great company. They are definitely up for more!

Chris was such a nice guy and took us on a wonderful combined kayaking and paddle boarding trip on the river Teign. He was well organised, very safety conscious without being at all stifling, and brought very welcome hot drinks and snacks. He was helpful on the technique and kept us on the straight and narrow. Also prompt and helpful with his email communications beforehand. Many thanks!

Chris is an excellent coach and guide fun and chatty , patient helpful and knowledgeable. Chris helped to tailor a bespoke experience for my interests in paddling on the River Dart and developing my solo canoe paddling skills !

Organised an exceptional bespoke canoeing trip for the day for 45 kids and adults and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and for a reasonable price. Instructors were clear, kind and professional throughout the experience; accommodating everyone's ability level and giving extra help where needed. The sights were beautiful and there was ample time to explore the river. Overall a brilliant day out and we would highly recommend for any group size.
