Just imagine what it would be like: drifting down the river, with the prospect of a pub lunch along the way. You are with your family or friends, enjoying some of the country’s best countryside, and can’t decide whether to have the home made steak pie or cheddar ploughmans!

What our customers are saying
I had a fantastic day yesterday and look forward to the next trip in the very near future. The staff were very polite and courteous, excellent brief and recovery drive. I will certainly be recommending you to our friends. Once again thanks.
Kevin Hicks
We did the trip from Lucksall to Ross On Wye. Brilliant two days in glorious June sunshine-stunning River. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, arranging drop-offs and pick-ups. Would thoroughly recommend Hereford Canoe Hire. Be warned the second day stretch (Hoarwithy to Ross) is a long 11 miles, especially if the river is running

We did the trip from Lucksall to Hoarwithy, it was absolutely incredible. The staff were efficient, friendly and explained everything really well. We will definitely be trying another route with you. The grownups, the kids and even our 15 year old thoroughly enjoyed it!!

About Hereford Canoe Hire
We occupy one of the quietest and safest stretches of the Wye and work hard to keep it that way, so our clients enjoy a safe and relaxing adventure.
This means that we choose not to deal with stag parties (sorry boys) and those who can spoil the enjoyment of other river users. Our stretch of the Wye is ideal for both the novice and family, or anyone who wants to be absorbed in this beautiful, quiet stretch of countryside. You can hire a canoe for any period from 2 hours to 5 days, so you paddle away at your own pace. We’re delighted to advise on routes and stopping places along the way where you can be fed and watered.
We provide a high level of service from the moment we meet and brief you, to the moment we pick you up. The team at Hereford Canoe Hire are enthusiasts about making a great day out for you. We’ve got great canoes and safety equipment and are keen for you to share our enjoyment of this wonderful river.
