Kayak or Canoe – What is the Difference?

- Canoes are open boats, accommodating two to three people, paddled with a single-bladed paddle while kneeling or sitting inside.

Extend the Adventure: Kayak Bivouac
For a truly immersive experience, Forest Adventure offers Kayak Bivouac trips – a unique opportunity to combine paddling with wild camping. After loading essentials into waterproof barrels, adventurers paddle to remote riverside locations, away from roads and villages. Shelters are built using the kayaks and canoes themselves, and evenings are spent around a crackling campfire, enjoying simple meals under the stars. Overnight and weekend bivouac trips are available for those seeking to reconnect with nature.
A Word from Forest Adventure
Edward Perry of Forest Adventure reflects on the experience: “There is something deeply rewarding about being on the River Wye. Paddling through such an unspoilt landscape allows people to slow down, appreciate the moment, and reconnect with the natural world. Whether it is your first time or your fiftieth, the river always has something new to offer.”
