We’re heading North to the untamed stretch of the River Wye between Glasbury and Whitney for a small group tour where you can upgrade your river paddling prowess! If you feel you’ve mastered the basics BUT you’re lacking some technique and confidence on moving water rivers. Then this adventure tour is for you.
Your Instructor / Guide will share with you the paddle strokes, foot work, board maneuverers and water understanding to tackle grade 1 rapids confidently and safely. If you’re paddling on rivers regularly you are likely already paddling Grade 1 rapids, but perhaps you go around the features or kneel. This beautiful one way trip on the River Wye will give you the opportunity to learn, session features, practise and play.
Suitability: This tour is for the progressive paddler. You should feel comfortable self rescuing. Be able to manoeuvre the board easily in the direction you wish to go. Be able to move from kneeling to standing confidently.
We have 3 Wye Valley based adventure tours. Check out our Paddle Progression Tour and River Wye Wildlife Tour.
