Oundle Wharf

At our location by the beautiful River Nene at Oundle Wharf, Northamptonshire we have canoes, kayaks and inflatables available for hire. We have a wide range of boats to suit different ages and levels of ability, from open 4-man canoes suitable for families to single kayaks for individuals.

Boats can be hired by the hour or by the day for longer trips. You could go for a leisurely paddle for an hour followed by lunch at our neighbour the Tap and Kitchen or make a day of it and paddle up the Nene towards Wadenhoe or Fotheringhay for a picnic on the banks of the river.

All life jackets and equipment are provided and the staff at Nene Extreme Adventures will ensure that you are happily and safely installed in your canoes before sending you off.

Canoes can be booked in advance or hired on the day.

We are also happy to arrange bespoke packages for your group, where the canoes can be dropped off and collected at other points along the river.  Please contact us with any enquiries.

 

Prices

Single kayaks are £10 per hour or £50 for a full day

Open canoes are £20 per boat per hour or £90 for a full day

We also offer a try and buy service. If you try one of our canoes or kayaks and then decide you would like to buy one, we will take the cost of hire off the purchase price of a new boat (terms and conditions apply, please ask when hiring)

Boats will be available at our Oundle Wharf base from the May Day Bank Holiday weekend to September/October, depending on the weather. Other activities can be booked all year round.
