Hired a X3 and X2 person canoe for a day's paddle from Ross to Symonds Yat and had a great day. The pre checks, safety briefing and route outline were straight forward and informative, the drive from S Yat to Ross was swift and we were in the water in no time.
Thanks to Nick and his team for a great experience, apologies for my pal rabbiting away in your ear on the drive to Ross and 100% would recommend/use again

Really great experience, we did the 2 day kayak to Ross on Wye and then to Symonds Yat. Really beautiful stretch of river, I was a bit worried about missing the camp site or the end point but it was really easy to find both. You get a good safety briefing and they explain everything you need to know before you go out, you also get route maps for each day. The staff were really friendly and helpful and we had a great time, I'm really looking forward to doing it again.

We visited Canoe the Wye in late August. I was with my son. We were initially overwhelmed with the number of canoe hire options in the area so decided to check a few out the days before we booked. Canoe the wye stood out in terms of price/value for money (they had a weekday offer!) friendliness/helpfulness of the team location and ease of parking.

I experienced issues with the online booking system and called them. Nick was really good and resolved the problem and we booked no problem.

On the day the safety briefing and drop off was professional and organised. The driver was great and chatty on the short ride to the launch place. They were helpful getting the canoe on the river as my son is only 13 and didn’t quite have the strength to carry it down the short bank.

Equipment was in good order and map with local info provided. They suggest lunch stop with local cake shop welcome rest!!Would definitely recommend.

A fantastic experience. Would heartily recommend the company and the day trip experience.

Really professional staff gave us a thorough and enjoyable briefing at their base before dropping us at the start point.

The staff went above and beyond to set us up for an enjoyable day and to look after us.

Excellent day out on the river, we booked the 3/4 day and there was plenty of time to complete the journey even with a decent pick nick break. The guy's were very helpful with a good bit of banter and the preliminary's ran like clock work. You will struggle to find such a beautiful river valley with a mild river like this......that is also an absolute bargain! Will be back to do the one or two day trip next year!

Always a fantastic experience. Been about four times with groups ranging from 6-12 on the two day trip. Nick and the team at CTW couldn’t be more friendly or helpful. Excellent value for money, would highly recommend.

The whole experience from booking online the day before to arriving, checking in, getting our safety brief and setting off at Ross on Wye was seamless and very informative. There were o surprises along the river, everything was as expected - where to keep rowing, where to choose a side, where you can stop for a picnic. The weather was great which was a bonus. The whole day from start to finish was brilliant. Would def do again and highly recommend.

We did the 3/4 day and hired 2 canoes and had them as a raft, it was really good. The team is very friendly and super professional. The safety briefing and map were very good, overall a fantastic experience!

My daughter loved her morning on the canoe. All the staff were really friendly and the whole experience. was very enjoyable. The staff told me where I could go to wave at my partner and daughter as they travelled down the river. Would definitely recommend Canoe the Wye to all my family and friends.

What a great experience!
The trip was really well organised. We were well prepared thanks to the information that was sent out prior to our trip. Canoe the wye supplied everything else and ensured that we were well briefed.
Once we set off, the scenery was beautiful. We camped at Ross rowing club which was just a short walk from the town centre with a good range of pubs and shops.
We had a brilliant time and have recommended to lots of friends and family.
A really friendly but professional bunch, I would highly recommend 😊
