Water Sports: SUP & Oru Kayaking

Ongoing from Sunday 8 June

Stand-Up Paddleboarding and Oru Kayaking are launching this summer at Eden Dock.

In partnership with Dragon Boat Events, the crystal clear waters of Canary Wharf can now be explored by SUP and kayak.

In October 2024, Eden Dock was launched, a reimagining of the historic Middle Dock revealing a waterfront oasis with interconnected pontoons and aquatic islands. Exploring the water via board and boat, is a great opportunity to get a unique view of the lush planting and wildlife.

Tickets cost £15 plus booking fee for an hour’s exploration, with your ticket price including the hire of craft and buoyancy aid. Please arrive 15mins before your session start time the get kitted out and to receive your safety briefing.
