Open Canoes     

We offer guided trips in open canoes.  You will be well looked after by experienced skipper who knows the river really well, as well as how to make sure everyone had a great time.  

1-6 people:  We have a small number of  traditional 'Canadian' open canoes.    £45 per person, minimum charge £180.  

We offer two canoes with 1 or 2 adults in each canoe, plus one or two children depending on size.  The larger canoe can take 3 adults, depending on size and weather conditions. 

6+ people: Pile in together in one of our giant canoes!  £35 per person.  

With a fleet of 6 giant canoes, you can get up to 69 people out on the water at the same time.  No one need stay on the shore.   Ideal for mixed groups of all ages and abilities; almost everyone and anyone can get out there! 

Three canoes take up to 7 or 8 adults, depending on size and conditions, or 11 if including small children.  Another three REALLY BIG canoes take up to 12 people of any shape or size.      

Experienced paddlers: may hire our traditional canoes without a guide.  You will need to demonstrate to us that you know how to handle a canoe, including being able to self-rescue.   We may ask for a British Canoeing quaification or endorsement from a club, college or other institution, and take a deposit. *

* Why is this?    Our canoes are proper, well-loved 'Old Town' canoes, professionally kitted out. We use them ourselves with our own friends and families and for guiding.  They perform better than cheaper 'hire-canoes' but take a little getting used to.
