Water Experience Days

Aquatic Adventures, Culinary Cruises and Wild Water Activites

Our range of watersports and water activities is perfect for the water-babies in your life. Our water based activities are very varied, ranging from high octane extreme sports - kitesurfing, surfing, power kiting, windsurfing or speed boating - right through to gentler activities, such as a leisurely paddle through London, with our Thames kayaking tour.

You don't have to get wet or be a good swimmer to enjoy these experiences... for those who prefer to keep a distance from the water, we have RIB passenger rides, London tours by speedboat, yachting, dinner cruises and much more. Dip a toe in our Water category, and test out some of the fantastic water sports and water activities we have on offer.

For April, the latest Experience Days for Water Activities and Experience Days include, Llangollen Aqueduct Canoeing Experience, Pitlochry White Water Rafting And River Bugging, and Aberfeldy Stand Up Paddle Boarding.

    Water Sports and Water Activities Experience Gifts

    Give the gift of adventure to a loved one with a wonderful water sports experience. Our range of water sports and water based activities is huge, and covers everything from the coolest extreme water sports right through to a gentle paddle along the Thames.

    This collection of experiences is all about getting out there on the water, whether you are 19 or 90, whether you are a strong swimmer or a doggy paddler. You don't even have to get wet to enjoy an adventure on water, in fact we have a huge range of water based activities for those who prefer to stay dry!

    A relaxing and romantic dinner cruise is a popular choice, and makes a wonderful anniversary gift, or an engagement or wedding gift. A RIB ride like our London Thames speedboat tours are a little more thrilling and a lot faster, and make for a truly memorable day. We even have some powerboat lessons for those who want to be at the helm.

    We have a massive selection of awesome water sports on offer to more extreme adventurers. Some of our most popular water based activities include kitesurfing, windsurfing, SCUBA diving and surfing, and for those who feel the need for speed, we have some amazing jet ski experiences and even the incredible new phenomenon, the water jet pack! Try our flyboarding or jetovator experience for something truly futuristic!

    Had a really enjoyable day and learnt stuff too!! Started at 11 with basic knowledge of the equipment then a couple of hours on the water being shown different paddling techniques and getting used to being in the kayak, After a break for lunch went on a trip up river and back learning other techniques but also just enjoying the river. Our instructor Dan was very knowledgeable and good fun and all the other members of staff we very pleasant and helpful. Facilities at the centre we very good - showers toilets etc. Great as an introduction to kayaking or just a fun day out.

    Questions About Water Experiences

    Can I get a refund on my Watersports Experience Gift?

    Provided the gift certificate is still within 28 days of purchase and has not been redeemed or exchanged, yes you're eligible for a refund. Simply email our customer service team with your order number and someone will respond.

    Can I exchange my Water Gift Voucher for another experience?

    All Experience Days Vouchers are exchangeable prior to redemption for anything else on the website. Simply type in your voucher code, click Exchange, and choose from thousands of exciting activities.

    What's the minimum age for a surfing lesson?

    Minimum age for lessons will depend on each surfing school, so it's best to check the Restrictions on each page. A lot of schools will also do lessons specifically for kids, so keep an eye out for those too!

    Can I book a river cruise with lunch?

    Dinner and Lunch Cruises can be found online here with many options around the UK. The most popular lunch cruises are in London, Oxford and the great Roast Dinner Cruise in Skipton.

    Where can I ride in a speedboat?

    We have a number of RIB Ride experiences across the country, which you can find by using the location search filters or the Map icon. Most popular locations are London, Brighton and Pembrokeshire!

    How long are Watersports Gift Vouchers valid for?

    All water gift certificates are valid for one year from purchase, so the recipient has plenty of time to book their activity. Remember, watersports can be seasonal, so always check the Availability section on the experience page.
