Lovely canoe trip This was a wonderful trip down the river . So pretty & peaceful. Clear instructions & safety brief given . Everything provided for an amazing day -I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you x

Great Fun! First Trip of Many. I've been meaning to try canoeing for ages and I'm so glad I finally did! We took a half day's hire from Fownhope to Hoarwithy and it was great (if very tiring) fun. We were two adults in one canoe and found it hard work, I don't think I personally would have taken children on my own as the guidelines suggested we could. The instructors were both clear and encouraging, and the equipment in reasonable nick for hire kit. After a quick but thorough safety briefing we were left to sort out our own technique on the water and make our way in our own time to the landing point without feeling rushed. One mark only knocked down because we found the "landmarks" tough to notice on a few of the map-points and as a result ended up in the wrong place in the river a couple of times when hitting obstacles. The worst thing that happened was wet feet though!

Very professional outfit Very professional outfit. Everything ran to time, equipment is well looked after. Excellent safety briefing with a good map of the route provided. An excellent morning spent exploring the Wye . Thoroughly recommend Hereford Canoe Hire.

Great Fun Canoeing in the Wye Excellent service and a Fantastic Experience!!! We opted for the 4 day experience starting in Hay on Wye and Finishing in Ross on Wye. We all met up around lunch lunch time on the first day and had a leisurely 8 mile paddle down to Whitney Toll Bridge where we stopped for some refreshments at the Boat Inn and an overnight stay at the Pound bunk House. The Pound also has a camp site, but we decided to stay in the bunk house which comprises of around 8 beds. Comfortable and clean but don't expect luxury. Refreshed for the next day (although a bit hung over) we had a big 25 mile paddle to Hereford Rowing Club. We started around 9 and arrived at 5pm. This was through some of the most beautiful countryside we have ever experienced. We saw Salmon, Red Kites, Kingfishers, Buzzards along the way and didn't see another Canoe. 25 miles seems a long way but the river carries you and helps a bit. There is only one stop off en route at a campsite where you can grab a beer and some lunch. Arriving at Hereford we stayed at the Holly Tree B&B which is about 100yds from the Rowing Club and close to the main Centre. This was very comfortable and clean. The third day was a paddle from Hereford to Tresseck camp site. We split this into 2 x 8 mile sections as we stopped for lunch at Lucksall Campsite and dropped a couple of the lads off as they couldn't stay until the Monday. The hard core crew carried on arriving at Tresseck where we stayed in another B&B and found the New Harp Inn for dinner and evening refreshments. The final day was a swift 10 mile paddle to Ross we left about 10am and arrived at 1pm. Everything was arranged by Hereford Canoe Hire and we'd like to thank Andy, Will and the team for the excellent planning and organisational skills. The guys dropped us off and picked us up and made sure things were good. This resulted in a memorable trip and a great bonding session. The 25 mile bit may be a bit of a slog for some, but I'm no expert and no spring chicken but I found it OK (we also had good weather). The guys at Hereford Canoes will be able to advise you for the best route to suit your ability/timescales.

Deliverance Great service , good canoes. We went from Lucksall to Tresseck camp site which is 8-10 miles along a quiet river with very little development along the bank. Second time we have made this canoe trip and there may well be a third time.

Fantastic experience Excellent day out, very tiring but everyone had a great time. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly and great with the kids. Would highly recommend them for a great day out

Great day out Fantastic day out, Will made us feel very welcome and looked after..... and didn't complain when we were late back, (Sorry, Will) I would thoroughly recommend these guys to anyone else planning a day trip on the Wye.

Winding our way down the river Wye! We had a fantastic trip. It was so peaceful to paddle our way along the river at our own pace. Andy and Will's briefing gave us the confidence we needed and everything ran smoothly and according to plan.

A great adventure! Fantastic trip with a really helpful team, I would definitely recommend. Finishing at the Tressick Campsite was super convenient and we will definitely be returning for more! Such a great day in the water!
