Stag & Hen

★★★★★ 4.9 from 173 reviews

The ultimate city centre adventure.

Looking for something a bit different for your stag or hen do? Get the group out on Bristol's iconic Floating Harbour for two hours of paddleboarding or stable sit-on-top kayaking, with plenty of laughs along the way.

You'll discover the city from the water, play games and take on challenges. The exact mix is up to you and there's something for everyone. From chilled paddles to full fancy dress chaos, we will shape the session around you and your group.

Key information

Group fun whatever your ability!

Want to keep it steady? No problem. Our stable sit-on-top kayaks are easy to pick up and perfect for mixed abilities. Want to turn it up with SUP games and challenges? Even better. Our sessions are social, inclusive and designed so everyone feels part of it.

A unique way to see Bristol.

Swap the standard hen do for Bristol's most iconic waterway. Paddling through the Floating Harbour gives you a fresh view of the city's landmarks, boats and waterfront buzz. It is the Bristol experience people talk about.

High quality kit, expert instructors, zero hassle.

From your first enquiry to sharing your photos afterwards, we keep things simple. You will get a clear safety briefing, quality equipment, secure storage, hot showers and proper changing facilities. Our instructors know how to read the group and create the right balance of safety and fun.

As wet or dry as you like.

We can keep it relaxed and steady, or add games that might test the bride's balance. Fancy dress is absolutely welcome. The only rule is that everyone leaves smiling.
