A SHORT
introduction

This 5-day canoe journey along the River Wye offers an ideal balance of adventure, skill development, and natural beauty. Paddling from the upper sections near Hay-on-Wye or Glasbury and continuing through the Wye Valley, you'll travel through rolling countryside, wooded gorges, and quiet villages.

 

The river features gentle current and occasional mild rapids (Grade I–II), making it suitable for those new to expedition paddling as well as more experienced canoeists looking to refine their technique and navigation.


Over the course, you'll cover river reading, paddling strokes, rescue skills, kit management, and group travel. Nights are spent camping along the river or in designated riverside sites, offering a true journey experience. Instruction is tailored to match your ability level, with options to develop more advanced skills for those with previous experience.

TAILORED & MISSION
FOCUSED ADVENTURES

Each itinerary is entirely bespoke, with the flexibility to add or remove activities, adjust intensity, or refine pacing to suit your group’s preferences. Experiences can also be aligned with your mission or objectives, whether that is team building, leadership development, collaborative problem-solving or tailored adventures for student groups of all ages.

This custom focus comes at no additional cost, with price adjustments only for luxury or budget-dependent options.

Optional refinements include:

  • Curated challenges and collaborative experiences designed to strengthen teamwork.

  • Adjustable activity levels, accommodating beginners through advanced participants.

  • Refinements designed to align with your group’s budget and expectations.

  • Special milestones or celebratory experiences incorporated elegantly into the journey.

Every element is carefully curated to reflect your objectives while delivering an exceptional, memorable adventure.
