Great concept, lovely part of the river and the best crew to welcome and prep you: on our day it was Chloe who was there before and after our canoe tour and she was super welcoming. She gave us some very good advices and we could feel she genuinely wanted us to have the best time (and we did!). We’ll definitely do it again and with Back of Beyond Adventures!

A really great evening paddle on the Thames at Richmond. Nice stop midway at The White Swan for a drink and chat with the group, followed by a peaceful nighttime paddle back to our start point. Piers led the group very well; he’s informative, makes you feel very welcome and is good fun company! A lovely experience and I will definitely do the daytime trip next year too.

We had a lovely time with Piers and Ali! We were a group of 10 on a team day out. They went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and really cared about us all having a good time and enjoying the activity. They also helped calm some the members of the team who weren't as confident in the water. We had a really fun day! Thank you Piers and Ali, we'll definitely be back! :-)

We had such a fabulous time paddling on the Thames. The staff were friendly and helpful and explained everything we needed to know. The scenery was beautiful. We quite forgot we were in London for a few hours! We will definitely be back

Who would have thought that you could find tranquility in Richmond on Thames?
This peaceful experience which for us was canoeing for my husband’s birthday was thoroughly enjoyable and we’d definitely do it again.
Back and Beyond is very well run. We met Alison and she made us feel completely at ease.
We were given advice on where to stop along the way but had taken a picnic so didn’t really venture into the pubs.
Would highly recommend!

We have been kayaking with Back of Beyond many times. It is always a magical experience. We usually do the late afternoon slot, kayaking along Eel Pie island on the way back have a little stop at the Swan pub. We will back again before the end of summer.

Well organised, great briefing from Piers. Everything was covered to make us feel prepared. We really enjoyed the kayaking experience, the 2 hours was just right. The location was perfect. We will definitely come back again.

Hello Joshua
Please accept our apologies for not responding to your question when it was asked!
The answer is, it varies depending on the activity, the adventure and whether it is guided or self guided.. The easiest and most informative thing to do is to visit our website which has a wealth of information and the ability to book online at a time to suit you. We hope that you were able to visit us this season at Back of Beyond Adventures and, if you did, we would love to welcome you back to River Lane again next season!
