Testimonials

- Susan MMy friend and I were originally set to go sea kayaking but in an email Hugo, one of the co-owners explained the conditions weren't safe for that. We instead went on a guided tour on the Union Canal and it was delightful. Our guide Niall (the other co-owner) was exceptionally friendly but also safety minded, advising us as to what to do should one of the canal boats come cruising by. I highly recommend Driftwood Adventure.

- monja hHugo and the team were incredible! We had a paddleboarding adventure booked for a large hen group and loved every minute. They were very informative and helped us explore the reservoir as well as playing fun games on the water. Highly recommend!

- Saban BFantastic family fun with Hugo and the Driftwood team who are both friendly and hardworking meaning all you have to do is just pitch up and go! A perfect way to reconnect with our Canadian cousins over a shared enjoyment of the outdoors and water sports. Thanks so much for making it so memorable!
