What Can I Expect

River Ouse paddleboarding with the experts! Set off from Barcombe Mills near Lewes in East Sussex, for a four-hour guided SUP tour along the lovely River Ouse.

The team of adventurers are ready and waiting to take you out on the upper sections of the River Ouse on a paddleboard. Ideally, you’ll have already had a little go on one before, but the experience is suitable for beginners if you’re up for giving it a good go.

To start with, you’ll be kitted out with the paddleboard, the buoyancy aid and a paddle adjusted to your height. A riverside safety briefing will follow, so you know what to do and what to expect on your four-hour SUP safari.

Launching into the River Ouse at Barcombe Mills is a great choice. It’s nice and calm here, so you will spend a bit of time getting used to the board, to paddling, to moving forwards and changing direction.

Once you feel you’ve got SUP sussed, your guide will lead you off on your paddle tour along the Ouse. It’s a pretty decent-length loop you'll be taking, but the great thing is you’ve got plenty of time, so no need for furious paddling, it’s all quite leisurely.

There’s fun along the way too. We won’t reveal all, but your limbo skills might come into play at some point. And then there’s the wildlife spotting. Don’t be surprised if you come across herons, Canada geese and swans whilst you paddle - this part of the River Ouse is a lovely tranquil habitat!

What we love about paddleboarding from Barcombe Mills is the fact that the route is a loop and you’ll come back to your departure point via the narrow waterways and the former mill. Picturesque, relaxing and fun, book your River Ouse paddleboarding adventure today!
