Canoe Hire Goring. Goringon-Thames (or Goring) is a relatively large village and civil parish on the Thames in South Oxfordshire, about 5.5 miles south of Wallingford. It is a great place to start or finish a canoe or kayak trip for all ages and abilities.

Launch and Landing Points

The meet point and launch points will be explained to you once you have booked.

Don’t forget we also have the capability to provide canoe or kayak hire from any of our other landing points on the River Thames. For more information on the Thames launch points generally, click here.

Getting through the Locks

You can either paddle through the locks or get out and carry your boats around. We would suggest that you paddle through the locks when the lock keeper is on duty and portage if the lock is unmanned.

When you are carrying your boats be sure to lift carefully and try not to scrape the bottoms of the boats along the ground if you can help it!
