Canoeing on the River Wye

Canoeing is a brilliant way to see the Wye Valley’s stunning scenery and wildlife, and Way2Go Adventures offer a range of guided trips that are suitable for everyone 3 years+ and all abilities.

We offer canoeing half-day and full-day trips on a variety of sections of the River Wye (in the Wye Valley), between Glasbury to the north and Chepstow to the south, where the river joins the Severn. 

The Wye Valley is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), breathtaking and full of wildlife. A guided canoe trip is the perfect way to explore the Wye Valley.

River Wye canoeing is a must-do activity, whether you are visiting the area for the first time or looking for a special day out or group adventure. Whatever the weather or time of year, the valley is breathtaking and full of wildlife, and even if you have never paddled before, this is the perfect way to explore the Wye Valley.

A half-day canoeing trip takes approximately 3-4 hours, and a full-day trip takes around 6-8 hours, including a stop for lunch. The timing depends on the flow of the river and the pace you paddle at.

Important information about canoeing on the River Wye with us:

All of our canoeing trips include a safety briefing, including how to control the boats, how to paddle and how to deal with any areas of white water. All of our trips are guided, so you will have a qualified and experienced instructor with you at all times. We also provide all of the canoes, paddles, buoyancy aids and safety equipment for our canoe trips.

All of our canoes are traditional Canadian open style canoes (Wenonah Southfork) and are 15 feet long. They are suitable for 2-3 people, however, also appropriate for solo canoeing, e.g. when coaching or for someone with experience. Children of all ages can come canoeing with us, and we can discuss this with you when you book. They can either go in the middle between 2 adults or at the front if they are strong enough to take on some of the paddling.

Looking for an introductory canoeing course or to advance your canoeing skills? We also run British Canoeing Courses in canoeing and kayaking.
