Wonderful as always - We've been returning to canoe with Ross on Wye Canoe Hire every year for more than 10 years.

  Upon arrival we were greeted very warmly by the staff even though we were running a little late. We were kitted out with buoyancy aids and driven to the launch... read more point. There we were given instructions and a safety briefing along with some tips on what to do in the event of any unlikely mishaps. We brought our dog with us which was a bit of an unknown quantity as it was the first time she had been in a canoe. The main tip here was not to have the dog on her lead in case she became entangled with the canoe should it go over. At the finish point we were helped out of the water and left with a short five minute walk back to our car. All in all a really good experience. We did the half day which I think for a lot of people would be enough.

  Great experience  - Really lovely days canoeing. Well organised and friendly staff. Beautiful scenery with plenty of wild life. Highly recommended day out.

  Kearne Bridge to Symonds Yat - Fabulous experience, well organised from start to finish. Would definitely come back and do another stretch of the river.

  Grand day out  - Great day out on the Wye. It was very busy on a bank holiday Monday, but the service from Ross-on-Wye canoe hire was spot-on. Thorough and informative safety briefing, plus... read more dry barrels for our gear (thankfully we didn't put them to the test!). Beautiful weather, although I can't credit the company for that! Would definitely do this again.

Go on a weekday when there are fewer others on holiday - it might then be quiet enough for the wildlife to venture out of hiding.

  Excellent service, very friendly and knowledgable.

We rafted 2 canoes and would recommend for anyone worried about falling in - made it so stable and a leisurely paddle

  Great day out - Very professional, efficient and friendly team, went the extra mile. well-organised and everything ran to time and smoothly despite a very busy day on the river

  Really well organised trip and the staff were very helpful. It was half term week, so the Wye was very busy! The river was beautiful, with tiny Mandarin babies, Candada... read more Geese creches and a big family of Goosanders, as well as Mallards and a Kingfisher which stayed on its branch while we canoed past. We did the stretch from Kerne Bridge down to Symonds Yat. This is my least favourite stretch, as from above Symonds Yat Rock to the canoe hire landing the river has little flow and you have to paddle. We had the wind against us and it was hard work! We chose this because it is deeper and I have mobility problems getting in and out of canoes, so didn't want to be going over shallow gravels and grounding all the time. If I was more able-bodied we would have chosen the stretch from Mordiford to Ross, which is prettier and has faster water, but is very shallow in places and the river is very low at the moment.
My one complaint about our briefing by the canoe hire people was that there was no instruction not to get out of the canoes on private land. We passed several groups pic-nicking on beaches under signs which read 'Canoes are not permitted to land here'. We also saw litter left on the beaches. Also we we weren't told how to go past anglers. There weren't any as it was bright sunshine and the water was so low, but it could avoid confrontations and ill feeling if canoeists were warned.
All in all a brilliant trip, though very hard on all the adult backs!. Thanks to all the staff
