My daughter, son in law and I had a two hour kayaking session at Bucklers Hard. We were novices, but after a very effective introduction talk from Tom we set off with good equipment, and a degree of confidence. We battled upstream against the tide and returned with the tide, which was much easier going. Cold day, and it rained... More

make sure your group for battlefield live is not split up unless you don' mind fighting your friends. session can easily overrun and by quite some time mainly because people arrive very late and not half an hour early as requested on website. written medical declarations never asked for so don't bother doing them.

We're sorry that you did not find Battlefield LIVE to be an amazing experience. I'm concerned about a some of your points so to clarify: We try and ensure a full experience, people arriving late is unfortunately out of our hands however it sounds like we were able to help on this occasion by extending the session. This is not... More

Great course with enthusiastic, knowledgeable instructors. Lost my roll a couple of years ago & been trying to get it back since. I consistently rolled on this course! So how could I give anything but a good review..........

A great fun day out. Everyone should give it a go! Just a 2 hour trip but a really great time. Loads to see on the river and some gorgeous wildlife to see.

Spent a lovely, relaxed morning paddling about on the river and even the rain didn't stop play! We had a really friendly and chatty instructor (Who I'm pleased to say didn't make me attempt a capsize drill!). Got on fine with a spray deck and the kayaks were really comfortable and easy to paddle. I could get used to kayaking!... More

Three weeks ago I went on the half day Beaulieu river session and loved it so much I booked for the swimming pool session to learn to cope if the boat rolled and then later to learn to right myself. On both events the instructors were great fun, very patient, and really encouraging. They seemed to really enjoy what they... More
