      Paddleboarding for beginners
      One to one paddleboarding tuition for beginners with J o Derwent water. Despite challenging weather ,very windy I left the session a more confident and accomplished paddleboarder. Excellent value for 2 hours tuition. Simon C

      It’s harder than it looks but so pleased we did we gave it a go!
      Perfect weather conditions for our group of three older adults to try this activity for the first time, calm water, good equipment, small friendly group, and the added bonus of fabulous views of surrounding fells. Steve was very friendly, encouraging, professional and reassuring, seemed to give everyone the support they needed to get the best out of the session. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to come again to build up our confidence.

      Canoe taster session
      My husband and I booked a 2 hour canoe taster session at Keswick and it really was a great introduction to canoeing. We had some basic instruction from Steve, our instructor, and 15 minutes in the bay close to shore whilst getting familiar with controlling the canoe. Then Steve followed us from island to island at our own pace, giving us tips and ensuring we stayed safe from the launches and their wake! We really enjoyed being on the Lake and wouldn't hesitate to recommend using this company if you're thinking of having a go at canoeing. Tip - wear shoes that you don't mind getting wet.

      Highly Recommend!
      First off a huge thank you to Andy our instructor, he was friendly, very experienced, pitched the day perfectly for us and takes amazing photos! This had to be one of the best experiences with my boys, so far, and we've had a few! At 8 and 14 they lapped up the challenges, and as a mum, more importantly, I felt confident that they were safe, that was all down to Andy too :) Highly recommend this company, trip and Andy, my boys are still talking about it and him! Some tips, be prepared to get a little cold, even in good weather, and very wet, head to toe! Take decent shoes and big towels to change under, you are on a car park in the middle of no where! It can be as hard or easy as you want to make it.

      Great morning on the Ghyll
      A great morning activity. Mobile Adventure were amazing, they communicated with us promptly about changes due to weather and when, where to meet. Our instructors (Adam & J) were brilliant and made the activity even better. We were 2 x groups of 11 people, including adults and young people (aged 14 to 17). Would recommend and will be back next summer.

      A superb introduction to paddle boarding
      It wasn't exactly the best weather for an introduction to paddle boarding but Phil, from Mobile Adventure made it a brilliant morning, taking us to a sheltered bay and guiding us through the techniques to get and stay upright. Everything about the trip was excellent - the communication, the kit, the safety instructions, the enthusiasm. Even on a paddle board, in a squall, there isn't a better place than Derwentwater!

      A fabulous time on the water
      My nephew had a wonderful time on the lake having a canoe taster The group leader was really friendly and had them playing games on the water, they managed to get right around the island which he was very proud of achieving We got some fabulous photos and he’s decided he would like to have another go at canoeing It really is a fabulous way to try a number of water sports and I will be looking out for it next year a definite 10 out of 10

    From booking to completing our family canoe trip, mobile adventure were very efficient and offered help and advise. Our tour guide was professional whilst still being good fun. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable and we will definitely do it again when we visit the Lakes. Thank you Mobile Adventure!!!

    Family of 4 with a 16yo and 14yo. We were in a group of six which was great for us. We had a fantastic day with John - paddling fairly leisurely across Derwent Water. Lovely location for a spot of lunch before heading off down River Derwent which was great fun. Out into Brassenthwaite lake. It got a little choppy here so had to put a bit more effort in! Great for a family who likes being out and about but not into extreme sports. John was a great teacher, very experienced and really easy to get on with. Trip was planned to perfection - John really knows what's he's doing.

    I had a fantastic day with my 10 year old son and our instructor Tom. He was really friendly and helpful. We both loved canoeing down the river Derwent with its mini 'rapids' and had a lot of fun on our 13km trip. Highly recommended.

    We had a great day canoeing on the lake and up the river. John had all the required equipment and had loads of cool stories about the local areas that we canoed through & a tonne of recommendations of things to do and see in the area! A really fun and relaxed day, with great company, thanks John! Oh and an added bonus of John taking some great non posed pics! 100% would recommend!
