Take time out to explore the river on a guided, small-group paddle: perfect for getting away from screens and making some long lasting memories in nature.
Whatever your experience level, our instructors will take you through what you need to know to paddleboard along the Little Ouse river so you can build your skills or try it for the very first time.

Booking for someone under 16?
This event is suitable for ages 6+
All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult on the water and you must both book separate tickets:
If booking with a child aged 6-9, we will assume that child will share your paddleboard with you so it so it is easier to keep up with the group. Please still book them their own ticket.
Children aged 10+ will most likely be able to keep up with the group on their own boards.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Brecks team via brecks@suffolk.gov.uk or 01473 265600
Each participant will be asked to fill out a safety form before taking part.
