Take a ride upon the Thames on one of our famous swans or flamingos. Our pedalos are super stable fun for 2 to 5 people. They have 4 seats but a small child could sit between two adults a the front. If you are nervous about boating or have young lively children then a pedalo is a great family favourite. They are also the perfect exercise for a leg workout!

Regrettably, due to the cleaning involved, we ask that you do not take duck food on our pedalos.

Our traditional rowing boats are the perfect way to enjoy the River Thames at your leisure. Whether you row or choose to relax, it is a peaceful way to head upstream through the willows from our HQ on the River Thames, taking a picnic or a romantic trip for
