Kayak Hire in Oxfordshire


Start your adventure here for a full-day, weekend or week-long hire and explore the beautiful South Oxford Canal or River Thames in a kayak or canoe.

Up to 50% off weekday hires this Summer

We are offering up to 50% off Half and Full day Canoe and Kayak hires. Monday to Friday only! Bookings to be done online.

Monday Madness

1st Monday of every month for the year of 2024 between 9am and 12 o clock is free. All equipment needs to be back with us at TCKH at 12 o'clock. This does not include Oxfordshire school holidays and bank holidays. All we ask for is a little donation for our chosen charity.

What is the difference between a kayak and a canoe?


Our kayaks at Thrupp sit much lower to the water with the user sitting on top of the craft at a 90º angle supported by a backrest or seat depending on our kayaks available. We have single-seat and two-seater kayaks available for hire on site.

Each hire provides you with buoyancy aids and a double-ended paddle to propel yourself through the water.
