Join guided canoeing and kayaking trips along the River Wye! Paddle near Talgarth in Powys for an enjoyable morning or afternoon on the water, suitable for everyone from age five upwards. These guided experiences are led by British Canoe-qualified instructors who will teach you the essentials of paddling in a canoe or kayak. Then, you'll set off downstream on the Wye to explore the scenic Welsh landscape. If you're new to canoeing, you'll be guided through everything—from launching and landing your boat to paddling forwards and backwards—all while staying safe and aware of the river. Once you've mastered the basics, your guide will point out local wildlife, landmarks, and teach you some kayak lingo and river navigation skills. The trips take place on the edge of the Black Mountains, providing stunning scenery. Powys scenery is breathtaking, and paddlers are often amazed by the calm and beauty of the area. After exploring, there's time for fun paddle games. Expect to get wet—these activities are optional but popular, and they’re a fun way to end your day on the River Wye.
