The Wye Valley is one of the most scenic places in the UK, making it an ideal setting for water-based adventures. Whether in a canoe, a kayak, or on a stand-up paddleboard, take to the water and see this beautiful area as it is meant to be seen - from the river itself!
Whether you're looking for a gentle paddle, an exhilarating experience, or a family day out, you’ll find a wide range of water-based activities to suit all ages and skill levels. With slow running waters, the River Wye is perfect for beginners to canoe and kayak, although its rapid waters at Symonds Yat guarantee to excite the more experienced water enthusiast. A guided canoe trip is probably the most popular way to explore the Wye Valley; it's ideal for families and groups, and makes for a lovely day out. Or, you could try individual kayaks or stand-up paddleboards, including the option of a Mega-SUP which holds up to 8 people at once!
In order to fully explore and enjoy all that the River Wye has to offer, why not make a day of it and stop for lunch at one of our many riverside eateries, or pack a picnic? Or, if one day just isn’t enough, spend a longer break surrounded by beautiful landscapes, canoeing during the day and camping next to the river overnight - the perfect trip for leaving those everyday stresses and worries behind!
For something really different, how about inland surfing? The Severn Bore is a spectacular natural phenomenon - the second highest tidal wave in the world! There are a number of viewing points along the river, and, if you are really experienced, there is even the opportunity to surf, kayak or SUP it!
