Great company, couldn’t recommend more! Clear and helpful safety instructions…and then the self-guided trip down the Wye from Glasbury to Hay was just unreal! And cheap too!

Had a very good day on the river. We phoned up the morning of our trip having spontaneously decided to go down the river. The team were very friendly and acoomindating and within the hour we were on the water. Had a quick refresher course and then were off. The river wye is excellent for beginners as a few minor white water bits to have fun with. Josh was also waiting for us at the other end so we were straight in the van and back which was good. (no waiting around)
