“Discover the beauty of the Wye Valley from the water with Forest Adventure’s unforgettable kayak and canoe experiences.”

For those in search of outdoor adventure, Forest Adventure offers an exceptional way to explore the stunning Wye Valley. Their kayak and canoe trips provide a perfect mix of excitement, nature, and relaxation, making them ideal for families, groups of friends, and corporate team-building days.

Led by experienced instructors, these guided journeys cover the most scenic stretches of the River Wye, from gentle meanders to fun-filled rapids. Each trip begins with a comprehensive briefing on paddle control and safety, ensuring every participant feels confident and ready. Half-day and full-day trips are available, with optional riverside lunches for a complete day out.

For those looking to enhance their skills, British Canoe Union accredited courses are available, offering expert instruction in flat-water paddling, moving water techniques, and essential river safety.

Kayak or Canoe – What is the Difference?

  • Kayaks are sleek, single-person boats with a deck, paddled using a double-bladed paddle.
  • 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.”
