About Whoosh Explore

Adventure at its heart.

Whoosh Explore Canoe Club was stablished in 2008 with the intention to develop a local paddling for the community offering a place to meet for a paddle, families the equipment and skills to learn to paddle together and groups the opportunity to explore local rivers using great boats and equipment. We now offer taster sessions, kayaking tours, canoe rentals and Paddling Adventures on rivers in the East of England each week.

We have a small fleet of Open Canoes and easy to paddle Touring Kayaks and as our community of paddlers has grown, we have introduced paddlers to more adventurous trips, boats and equipment.

We have a wide range of equipment to borrow and deliver adventures in paddle sport from kayaks tours to specialist White water paddling in Canoes and Stand Up Paddleboards sessions for exploring the river. If you are looking to learn to paddle or interested in our taster sessions pub paddles and adult paddling events check out our booking site on eola.co

Micro Adventures

A spirit of adventure has always been at the heart of our paddling, we have canoe and kayaks for running expeditions away from the club base and regularly head off to explore new rivers and challenges, expeditions and white water.

Our latest paddling adventure include white water in Wales staying at Coetmor Mill near to Snowdonia with trips to the Lake district booked in for autumn paddling adventures as well as trips to Dartmoor Scotland and Wales planned over the year as part of our paddle sport development program.

We have also paddled on summer adventures to wild camp on the River Tweed in Scotland and are looking forward to white water paddling in both Southern France and on the Rivers Dart and Walkern in the next few months. Join us on a micro adventure with a chance to paddle and get away either with a wild camp or in one of our bunk barn weekends.

We run trips to experience different rivers with our trailers full of boats and paddling equipment for regular tours to popular paddling spots.
