Hired a single Kayak here for a 4/5 hrs trip up the Fal river. Easy online booking and got going quickly on the day. Excellent kit, and helpful, friendly owner.

Had a brilliant experience hiring paddle boards at Loe Beach. The staff were really friendly, helpful and got us set up quickly. The equipment was in great condition and the location itself is stunning. Calm water, beautiful views and a perfect place to paddle whether you’re experienced or just starting out with the sweet addition of a café and sauna! Such a relaxed atmosphere and a great way to spend a few hours in Cornwall. Would definitely hire from here again.

Great morning. We rented two single kayaks for two hours & made our way down the river. Beautiful location, very friendly and informative. Second time visiting & will be back for a third.

Owner came in from his day job to accommodate us. Very friendly and helpful. We hired a 2 seater kayak for 2 adults and 1 dog. We went as far as the Pandora inn for a delicious lunch. Highly recommend!
