Great relaxing trip down the river Severn.

Fabulous day out travelling down the river Severn. Well organised, collected on time and given instructions. Although quite a long way, the river helped take us along as we didn't have to paddle the whole time. Would definitely do it again.

Great service, lovely route

Very friendly, helpful staff. Good value! Route was easy but fun, and very relaxing. We saw a few otters too! Great day out :) we even took the dog with us who enjoyed spotting all the wildlife!

A tranquil day on the river

Spending half a day on the river was a great way to see this party of the countryside. We saw swans, heron and kingfishers, but mainly our was the peaceful stretches of water and its banks that we passed by that made the day.
The guys were very professional and the cost was great value.
There was a variety of boats to choose from. My son and I used a double kayak which was easy to either glide down the river or get some speed up and ready to maneuver.
