Best for families with no paddling experience who want a guided canoe trip along the canal and across the aqueduct, with instructors like Gerard and John easing nervous first-timers in.

πŸ† Funzaroo Verdict

The draw is paddling across the aqueduct with someone who knows the water and the history behind it, calm enough that a child who has never held a paddle comes away confident. Groups of seven and three generations have been accommodated without fuss; just check in advance that your youngest paddlers are ready for an afternoon on the canal.

β€œMy daughter, grandson and I went on the aqueduct canoe trip with John and all had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. We have no experience and the briefing at the start was easy to understand and thorough as were the tips and pointers from John through out the trip. John was very knowledgeable on the aqueduct and surrounding area’s history and with two groups to one instructor we always felt safe. A great day and I look forward to coming back next time we’re in Wales.”

β€œA really great canoe experience along the canal and over the aqueduct led by Gerard - and his entertaining canine companion, Loki! Gerard gave us sound instructions on handling the canoes, instilled confidence for novices and also told us much of the history of the area. Going over the aqueduct was thrilling with spectacular views, too. A fun afternoon for us at a lovely place.”

β€œAbsolutely amazing experience! We loved every minute of it - we were a family of 7. We thoroughly enjoyed the canoeing, the detailed knowledge of the area, historical facts, and we most of all loved Loki the dog - one of our favourite days out this summer!”

Overview

An afternoon on the water that starts with a thorough briefing before you set off along the canal and out over the aqueduct, the canal suspended high above the valley. Gerard's canine sidekick Loki keeps spirits up, instructions are easy to follow, and there's a car park on site for the gear-laden arrival.
