HOURLY CANOE HIRE

Welcome to our hourly canoe hire page.

Explore the local area of Symonds Yat by boat.

£15 per person (90mins).

THE RIVER WYE

Canoeing on the River Wye is suitable for all levels of ability. Most of our customers have either never canoed before or have only done it a handful of times. Some of our customers will return 3 or 4 times a year building up their confidence and ability and taking on longer and more difficult sections of the Wye. The River Wye is ideal for learning how to Canoe and Kayak as it is relatively narrow and during the summer reasonably shallow in most places.

Hourly canoe hire is ideal if you only want to spend a short amount of time on the river. It gives you the flexibility to do as much or as little as you want. If you have never canoed before then this is the perfect introduction to paddling. Our instructors will give you some tuition on steering and give you an idea of how far upstream you can go.

How it works

Step 1. Choose if you need a 2 or 3 person boat below.

Step 2. Choose which date you would like to go canoeing on the calendar.

Step 3. Choose which time slot you would prefer on the calendar. 10am, 12pm (midday) or 2pm. The time slot is for 2 hours but you will be spending some of that time getting kitted out and having a safety brief. So you can spend 90mins actually on the river.

Once you have reserved your time slot we will then send you confirmation via email. Please ensure everyone who is going has read our preparation guidelines.
