Stargazing Kayak Adventure (18+ or 16+ if with adult)
Highlights
This is your opportunity to get out onto the water and experience one of the best parts of the Norfolk Broads - only this time at night and gazing at the plethora of stars hanging above the shimmering water! These trips are for creating long lasting memories to remember for years to come!
Our highly experienced guides will meet you at our launch point with your kayak and all other equipment needed, ready for to be transported out on this quite amazing and starry-eyed trip - this is where the real magic starts!
Using our super stable, rudder controlled and easy to paddle Horizon two seater kayaks, your guided adventure on Hickling Broad will commence out on to the still waters of Hickling Broad where there will be every opportunity for you to gaze at the plethora of stars and the reflection of the moon on the water. Of course we can't 'pre-book a clear night' - but in our view there's always something wonderful to see & feel - especially as Norfolk Outdoor Adventures are one of the very few to offer this kind of experience in the country, and certainly the only one in the Broads National Park! This adventure is truly wonderful and one of a kind here in the Broads National Park, and a must for visitors to the area and locals alike...this really is a special time to be out on the water!
Time on the water will last around 2-2.5 hours (with around 15/20 mins either end for paperwork and safety brief etc...) before heading back to the same launch point where you'll alight from your craft and ponder on the wonder that you'll have just experienced!
What's Included:
If you have any questions or queries then please don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll only be too pleased to help you get the best out of your experience.

Custom Policy
Introduction
Here at Norfolk Outdoor Adventures we understand that sometimes the weather can turn against us and also that life changes and can occasionally get in the way of us having a good time! Therefore we thought it fair to clearly advise you as to what our policy is on cancellations - wether it’s due to canceling/postponing activities and experiences due to circumstances beyond our control or from a cancellation of a booking directly from the participant.
Cancellation due to inclement weather
All lessons, activities, experiences and coaching are subject to weather conditions and the availability of instructors/guides and maybe be cancelled or postponed at short notice. Please be aware that in the case of beginner/novice SUP activities the maximum wind speed that a SUP activity will be allowed to take place is 14/15 mph (or 12/13 knots), above this level then the beginner/novice will quite simply not be able to cope or indeed learn anything and therefore as a result the session will be cancelled. Should this be the case then you will be notified as soon as possible (certainly by the evening before) and sent a Credit Voucher which will enable you to re-book for any of our sessions or activities in the future which will be valid for 1 calendar year from the date of booking.
Participant Cancellation
Participant cancellations can within a 7 day cooling off period of the date of the booked event, are able to cancel their booking subject to 25% administrative fee. Any cancellations by the participant(s) within 24 hours of the planned activity cannot be refunded. This can only be applied to original bookings only and is not applicable to any vouchers or credits which arose from the original booking.
Minimum Pre-Booked Participation Requirements
As you can understand it takes quite a lot of organisation and planning to run our group activities successfully, therefore we will only run our pre-bookable group activities if we have received the minimum booking numbers to make the activity work on the day. Please see what these minimums are by looking at the individual activities we offer as they will differ from one to the other. Should the activity look like it will not take place due to insufficient bookings, you will be notified of it’s cancelation as soon as possible (5pm night before at the latest) and as we don't want you to miss out - a gift voucher will be sent you to enabling you to re-book for any of our activities, course, craft hire or coaching in the future and will be valid for 1 calendar year from the date of booking.
Natural Disasters
No refunds will be offered if cancellation is due to an unforeseeable natural disaster (Force Majour) or ‘events outside our reasonable control’. We will of course honour your booking going forward and will offer you a unique credit voucher which will enable you to re-book for any of our activities, course, craft hire or coaching in the future which will be valid for 1 calendar year from the date of booking..
