I was impressed with how knowledgeable and caring the owners of this family run business is about the local river and kayaking/canoeing and about their customers ... being quite experienced I was a little wary of taking our children on the river but I didn't need to worry at all as they were given excellent instruction before we set off....

Wye coped admirably with our group of 16 hungover girls, plus a high river level! We had a lovely morning canoeing and thoroughly enjoyed it. Cash only for payment though so don't rely on your card.

I have been using Guy and his team for years with school groups. They are always thoroughly reliable and professional. The students always rave about the time they had on the river. I look forward to using them again next year.

Guy explained everything to us thoroughly, and we set off for a half... More

Hired two canoes and one kayak with this company and enjoyed a fantastic day doing a 18mile paddle down the wye. Guy is polite, full of knowledge and follows strict but fair health and safety rules. The equipment is first rate, life jackets comfy (this company knows about the possibility of chaffing !!!) canoes are in a good order (in... More

I booked in to Wye canoes through Rowena, the manager, she was very helpful and made my girlfriend and I feel more confident about taking part. The Canadian canoes were great quality and kept us relatively dry considering. We travelled 8 miles down the river, stopping at the olde ferrie inn for lunch before orienteering in the afternoon. The deal... More

I decided to go canoeing for the first time ever. I was pretty scared but Guy put my mind at rest. We took the 2 man canoes out and started in Ross and Canoed back to Kerne Bridge. It was really fun, the good weather helped! Very professional and lovely people who run it and all the kit is great.... More

Used this company for a family & friends 2 day canoeing trip a couple of years ago, and friends one day canoeing last year. For the 2 day trip we received adequate safety instruction and were given all the equipment we did not have ourselves eg lifejackets, barrels etc. The owner also gave us good advice on what was doable...

I am sorry that this customer was dissatified with our service. However , the reason for this rare cancellation of activities was due to unforseen injury of the instructor. The customer was made fully aware of the situation and every attempt was made to reschedule these persons activities. We only operate using fit and fully qualified activity staff and under... More
