Top 4 Stand-Up Paddleboarding Trips in the UK

1.Paddleboarding Around Newquay’s Coastline

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 117 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Paddle Newquay’s coves, harbour, and bay on a two-hour SUP lesson with gear, safety training, and a small group of eight.

“James was a great guide with a real interest and knowledge of wildlife and local history. I would say the Paddleboarding isn’t for the faint hearted actually, and if you’re unfit, even tougher. I was surprised how hard going it was on mildly choppy water, having only done it on still lakes and calm tropical sea before! Falling in with a helmet, life vest, wetsuit and trainers on wasn’t pleasant anlthough appreciate H&S takes priority for any of these businesses. Highlight was seeing an adult seal and a youngster which was totally unexpected. Would probably chose kayaking in future due to fitness level!”

4.Paddle Boarding on Derwent Water

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 62 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $116

Paddle across Derwent Water near Keswick with an instructor, full equipment, wildlife views, and a small group capped at six people.

“Woody brought the gear and guided us through a really fun paddle experience on Derwent Water. With hurricane Agnes slowly making her way to the Lake District, Woody guided us out onto the water. The winds picked up by the end of the outing, but Woody had engineered our trajectory such that we were blown back to our starting point by the gently increasing breeze.”
