The River Dart, based in South Devon, winds its way from the incredibly popular tourist coastal town of Dartmouth. A few miles inland and the river meanders its way to the bustling, picturesque town of Totnes. Exploring this beautiful river by inflatable SUP is the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of both locations, leaving the crowded weekend markets far behind.


Just a few strokes from either town and you’ll find yourself gently drifting back to your senses as you steer yourself silently along steep, tree-lined banks with the occasional house nestled just out of sight. If you paddle the river during the summer months you'll be welcomed by green rolling hills and flourishing oak trees, but no matter what time of year you visit this is beautiful and picturesque place to SUP in South Devon.
