Canoeing and paddle boarding are the perfect way to get close to the wildlife and environment of the Broads, as you can explore parts of this superb waterland that other craft canโt get to quite as easily.
Whispering Reeds is under a mile from the campsite and where you can hire all your canoe and paddle board equipment, situated 20 yards up from the Pleasure Boat Inn, don’t turn into the pub, stay on the road and keep walking, simply look for a big green boat shed with a blue flag on the roof and you are there!
There is a designated area where beginners can learn the ropes before heading off onto the largest of the Norfolk Broads. As Hickling is a national nature reserve with an amazing abundance of wildlife, we are one of the few places where you might see bittern, swallowtail butterflies and otter all in a dayโs paddle.
