This was our first time canoeing on a flowing river (only wetlands, and canals to date!). One of our party was very anxious about the prospect, but Dylan put her mind at ease during the briefing. This was a beautiful riparian adventure on a quiet day. We saw lots of river side birds including a Kingfisher which was a highlight. We just missed a good view of an otter but saw the splashing and a disappearing tail (🙄). There was one hairy moment when we got stuck on some rocks (this did nothing for Linda's anxiety!) but we managed to negotiate that obstacle successfully and we reach the pick up point without a major marital rift (a result)😁. Shout out to Dylan who was knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful and told us lots about the wildlife.

We had a lovely trip down the Wye, in two two-person canoes. My husband and 12 year old in one and me and my 10 year old in the other.
The rowing is easy, there aren't any particularly treacherous bits and the views are amazing. We were lucky enough to see a kingfisher as we paddled past. We had hoped to see otters, but as the river was rather busy with other kayakers and canoeists, it was probably a little too noisy to see anything.
The restaurant at the end (near the old bridge) has changed hands and the new folk who run it don't seem to want the canoe trade, with a much more restricted snack menu (no crisps or nuts etc), and virtually no dairy-free options on the menu if you were planning a more substantial meal, as well as a polite bouncer at the door sending canoeists to the ground floor bar and not offering seating in the restaurant. This is obviously not the fault of Want To Canoe, who collected us from the restaurant and were polite, friendly and helpful, just something to note if you have been before and were planning on having a drink and a snack before returning.
We had a lovely time and will definitely enjoy another row down the Wye with Want To Canoe in the future.

Great time on the Wye...well organised and great stand up comedy by the bloke who helped us :-)
Well worth the money and finishers of with a few pints down stream, with a lift back to the start

We had such a lovely afternoon. The whole experience was relaxed and comfortable. A short sensible briefing with not too much of the dreaded health and safety stuff. A blissful paddle down river, loads of beautiful birds and wonderful scenery, then someone on hand to meet us and drive us back to our car after a refreshing drink. Perfect from start to finish!

Everyone we met was super friendly and very happy to accommodate us. We were the only ones on the river that morning and spotted all sorts of wildlife. A perfect intro for beginners or a relax meander.

Want to canoe were great hosts of our day out. Very professional and experienced. They made us feel very welcome, capable and safe. Weather wasn’t on our side but we still had a great day paddling on the river wye and saw lots of birds too. When one of our paddles randomly broke they drove immediately to find us using’ what 3 words’ and checked up on us, setting us back on our way.

We booked this only the day before as we were visiting the area without a fixed timetable, but everything was organised for us at 9a.m. and there was plenty of parking for our campervan too.
Ours was one of three canoes to set off and the others had all done it before, whereas we were novices but had kayaked previously. It helps to have a reasonable sense of balance and to be prepared to paddle hard on the shallow rapids to maintain directional stability. There was plenty of time to just relax and watch the scenery go by though - with birds, fields, trees and peaceful countryside.
Having done the half day tour (actually 2-3 hours unless you stop for a break) we were picked up on our arrival at the agreed end point. Initially we were concerned we might not identify this, but it was the first bridge after the start, it was easy to spot!
The canoes and equipment were in good condition and the service was very friendly. Next time we're in the area we may try the full day trip to Ross.
Highly recommended.

We were a group of reasonably fit 70 year olds with two canoes and two kayaks taking a (mid-week) full day trip from Whitney on Wye. The river was peaceful with good wildlife (kingfishers, sandpipers, egrets and herons) and varied scenery - tree-lined and flat in places but open, pebbly and sometimes reasonably fast running in parts. We had a few 'incidents', capsizing or being beached, which spiced up the trip but certainly didn't detract. The full day left us pleasantly tired at the end but not excessively so - it was well within our capabilities. 'Want to Canoe' were efficient and friendly - setting us off and picking us up without a fuss. A hint to others doing a similar trip is to get more than one map from them which flags the hazards and how to navigate them - we only had one and it got washed away very early on leaving us travelling blind.

We absolutely loved this canoe trip. Booked as a group of 8 on a stag do. Lovely views and we were given autonomy to go down the river at our own pace.
The staff made this trip for us. Rob was a really personable host and went out of his way to make it a memorable experience. He also helped us book accommodation as we had a last minute cancellation. Thanks a lot guys!

We did the full day from Whitney toll bridge to the byecross campsite and George and Dylan were fantastic help in getting us sorted (especially after I managed to capsize us right at the start and lose a paddle). They were quick to get us going again and we had an incredible time watching the wildlife and negotiating some rapids and taking in the scenery with the dog.
Service is second to none, they were already in position to pick us up as soon as we arrived at byecross campsite and they were very cheery in recommending walks and places to visit as we drove back to the car.
Couldn't recommend it enough.

Hi there, we don't have a postcode that will bring you directly to our office... navigate to Bridge Street, Hay on Wye and then look for our big blue signs! :)

Hi Alyson, thanks for getting in touch..... you've asked a very sensible question, a river is much more variable and unpredictable course to navigate in comparison to a lake. We have very strict rules and policies about when we are able to launch canoes so it is our responsibility to ensure you paddle during safe weather and river conditions and that we have assessed your competence before setting you off on an unaccompanied trip.
If you are mostly limited in experience and not very confident I would recommend taking our Pro-Paddler with you for an instructed session... he can guide groups of up to 8 (if you are greater in number we can bring in more instructors though so no worries there) and the half-day rate for each instructor would be £100 so you can spread the cost across the group. Having an instructor gives you the benefit of being able to learn basic canoe-skills, play games and make the most out of the new skills you've learnt, also take in the scenery and wildlife more easily as you have a guide showing you what to look out for and you are not simply concentrating on keeping the canoe in a straight line as you've got some basic technique from the outset!
If you want to chat further about all this then you can either give me a quick call or email me your questions, it's important that you feel comfortable and confident with the trip format that you book... of-course we take you through a full safety briefing and equip you appropriately depending on your age and ability but it's good to answer as many as questions at this stage so you can enjoy as much time out on the river as possible!
We hope to hear from you!
Clare and the team :)
