Ready to row against the current or simply let the river take you? Rent a rowboat from Hobbs of Henley in Henley-on-Thames and take a trip down the river surrounded by the stunning historic town and natural beauty of this area. Control the pace and the intensity of your journey with your oars and even row the course where so many professional rowers have gone before. Rent for up to five people for anywhere upwards of an hour, or really make a day of it by renting for the whole day! You can even order a hamper to refuel after rowing and have a picnic with family and friends either in the boat or on the river bank. This activity is a lovely way to spend the day and well worth adding to your stack if you want to get the most out of your visit to Henley-on-Thames.
