Paddling from the car park on Water Eaton Road, OX2 7QT, you'll find Oxford Kayak Tours ready to guide you along the picturesque River Cherwell. These guided river tours are expertly led by Paul Preece, an instructor with over 40 years of kayaking experience. Suitable for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike, the tours ensure a safe and enjoyable outing with all buoyancy aids provided and qualified guides present. You can anticipate a journey of approximately 6 miles, lasting around 3 to 4 hours, which includes a 40-minute lunch break partway through. It's a wonderful way to see Oxford's beautiful landscapes from a unique water-level perspective, with free return transport to your starting point included.
As you glide along the Cherwell, you'll be immersed in serene natural surroundings, passing by lush banks and potentially spotting local wildlife like kingfishers and herons. The stable kayaks are easy to manoeuvre, making for a relaxed paddle even for first-timers, though capsizes, while rare, are a possibility. The main tour typically departs at 11:00 am, after a 10:00 am meet-up, and concludes around 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm at Donnington Bridge. Remember that tours generally run every Sunday from April to September, and it's always a good idea to check the website, www.oxfordkayaktours.com, for the most current information and to book your adventure. While there are no formal toilet facilities en route besides the natural cover of bushes, the experience of peacefully kayaking through Oxford is highly recommended.
