Join SUP Bristol for a stand up paddleboarding adventure and the chance to see Bristol’s floating harbour from a brand new perspective.
Starting with the basic techniques, you’ll first get to grips with how to stand and paddle. Anyone with previous experience will be able to pick up some more advanced skills too.
You’ll then put your paddling techniques into action on a mini adventure through the exciting, historical waterways of the harbourside.
You’ll paddle past the iconic SS Great Britain and beyond in this fun, two-hour experience on Bristol’s harbour.

This experience was so, so much fun! Me and my partner had an incredible time and felt super safe and comfortable (despite being nervous of falling in before attending!) all thanks to our excellent instructor, Katy :) it's great value for money as you get so much time out on the beautiful harbour, and Katy was amazing at helping us learn, letting us go at our own pace, and making sure we had fun. Couldn't recommend enough! Thanks Katy (and SUP Bristol!).
Great!
Bee gave us thorough safety training before we started our session. We went around the floating harbour with Bee giving us a history lesson of the various attractions. The 2 hours passed quickly and really enjoyed myself. I would recommend the session to anyone interested in paddle boarding.
Lovely host, great session
I bought this experience for my daughter and her boyfriend. They had a great time, it was well organised and safety was considered at all times. Great fun!
Well I didn't get wet.
Great and informative instructor.
Really enjoyed the piece and calmness of the session.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience - what a beautiful way to see Bristol from the harbour. Our instructor Josh was super affable and knowledgeable, helping us learn and practice new skills on the board.
Fantastic 2 hrs paddle boarding
Fab experience! We were shown the ropes of paddle boarding, saw the harbourside from a new perspective, got some interesting history of the area, and even tried out some yoga poses on the water!
Great paddle boarding experience and the instructor was great.
Fun afternoon on the water with great instructors
Awesome ! Josh have great instruction, totally brilliant
Really lovely couple of hours out on the water in the sun - great way to see Bristol from a different angle!
The staff were professional and very nice. They also took photos for everyone during the session which is a big plus especially when you’re in the water not having your own phone. The session was informative and sufficient for beginners like me to get on the board and have fun!
Easy to find, fun and had a good instructor (Jamie). Quite expensive but still fun
Had such a great time paddle boarding through the harbour!
It was super fun, l really enjoyed it
Lovely afternoon experience!
A wonderful experience. Lots of fun and a great way to see the city.
You'll be paddleboarding in smaller groups than usual, of up to 8 people. Changing rooms and toilets are still closed at the moment but any bags can be locked away securely.
You'll meet for your experience on the quayside next to the Cottage Inn, five to ten minutes before your session start time. You’ll see a row of boards all set up and ready to go. Come along for your experience in comfortable sportswear and ready to go. Wetsuits are available but whilst it's warm your own sportswear is preferable. The team can lock any bags away securely whilst you're on the water.
