Nightpaddle on the River Dart 2026

Our Nightpaddle is an evening spent meandering gently up the River Dart from Totnes towards Dartington giving you the opportunity to sink into the exquisite scenery and the rhythm of the river.

Carrying everything we need in the canoes, we will journey for several miles. The pace is relaxed, and there will be plenty of time to spend around the campfire, or to swim, play, and enjoy a delicious communal campfire supper. The return journey is a magical experience of the river at night.

We provide canoes, equipment, life jackets and teach all the necessary skills. No previous experience of canoeing is necessary, although participants must be able to swim.

Timings for all paddles are 6pm to 10.30pm (approx) apart from the September paddle which is 5.30pm to 10pm (approx).
