Canadian canoe hire on the River Wye, suitable for all abilities and ages. You collect a buoyancy aid, paddle and dry barrel at their base in Symonds Yat West, then travel upstream by minibus before paddling back downstream. Options range from a 90-minute taster around Symonds Yat to a full day (approximately 6 hours of gentle paddling from Ross-on-Wye) and 2-day trips covering 26 miles with overnight accommodation. The half-day and three-quarter-day trips stop for a picnic en route.
