We had a beautiful autumn paddle in a large open top Canadian canoe. Our instructor Tom was really welcoming and made this experience very personal whilst also allowing us to explore the creeks and beauty of the river. It was a windy day but this didn’t hinder our experience at all.
We had a great time on our canoeing trip up the river. The friendly and knowledgeable instructors were really reassuring. Beautiful sights with the forest in full autumn.
We thoroughly enjoyed our family canoeing trip with our instructor Josh. It was great that we were able to have all three of us in one Canadian canoe. Josh kept us safe, was really friendly and struck a brilliant balance between keeping both adults and children engaged. Our 6 year old loved searching for and learning about the jellyfish. Would absolutely recommend! Thank you!
We had a fantastic afternoon canoeing. Really helpful, kind instructors, beautiful surroundings, all great fun!
I, my husband and three kids 13, 9 & 6 plus had a marvellous time canoeing on the river. Very knowledgeable and engaging instructors (Imogen and Josh), they caught jellyfish for the children and were fab historical and ecological guides. Mixed ages and abilities but all rated it highly. We will be back!
