60 to 90-minute supervised paddle boarding session, we set off up the River Stour before sunrise with one of The Paddle Company team. On the way back to The Henny Swan we will see the Sunrise over the river. It is a great time to paddle, so quiet and lots of wildlife to see. A safety briefing and paddle instructions will be given before you go onto the water. This includes all equipment, plus a buoyancy aid and wet suit shoes.
