Fantastic few days on the Wye!
Fantastic few days on the Wye! Mark was very friendly, helpful (good advice for pubs, restaurants and places to stay in Ross-on-Wye). Thank you, and hopefully see you again in the future.

Great day on the river! We love this stretch of river and it's really special to see it from a canoe. We would thoroughly recommend doing this.

A wonderful trip down the Wye
A wonderful trip down the Wye! Easy to book, calm and organised, given good instruction before getting in the water. Very straightforward and enjoyable. A great day out, very well priced.

We were delighted with your relaxed and supportive attitude and canoeing together amongst the ducklings and on the beautful rive Wye was such a treat. These guys know exactly hwo to set things up for success: plenty equipment, friendly and knowledgeable staff and we had great advoce about how to link in with another group who were on the Wye but with a different hire company. Simple and so enjoyable. We will be back

Excellent.
Excellent.
Great adult family day out. Friendly welcome, well organised, no hanging out, appropriate safety briefing. Head wind made for a good work out at times. Worth having the dry clothes… easier to capsize than you may imagine!
