Although the experience is 2 hours, it is not strenuous. You canoe through the canal at a relaxed pace. The lead we had was Nick and she was excellent. You learn a bit about the history whilst taking in some amazing views. A cool thing to do.

Fun few hours over the aqueduct at Llangollen. Good trainers, gorgeous views and lots of laughs along the way!

This was an average experience. We sat in the boat waiting in line to go over the aqueduct for longer than we actually canoed. When we did go over we had to go kind of quickly with no stopping. I was mildly jealous of the people walking over the aqueduct. I think they had a better view and could take more pictures.

Great fun experience with lovely instructors, it is quite high so not for those without a head for heights! Well priced activity too.

Great experience and value for money. Good photo op for the gram. The location was slightly confusing as we told to park at the community centre, but not told to walk down to the canal and how to get there until the guide called. Also a good local pub that had good food and local cafe.

This was a fun afternoon. Ben was fun and knowledgeable. Only down side was that the canal was very busy.

Our guide was exceptional. Great trip very funny, made even more fun by the Dog rescue and a family capsizing mid way across the Aqusduct! All superbly handled by our guide… bloody great afternoon spent. 👍

Was an absolute fantastic experience, definately a must to put on your bucket list we had an absolute ball.

Great experience, instructions from the team were very clear on where to park and where to meet. The guide who got us on the water was fantastic. There’s a little pub right near where you start the tour from and end, so there’s somewhere to visit after.

Amazing experience, we were novices, great tutorial, fun instructor who was very patient. Amazing views and history lesson.

Had a brilliant time doing this canoe trip over the aqueduct ( despite my fear of heights) i would highly recommend. The scenery in Llangollen is breathtaking. Organisers were very friendly and helpful .
Tracie_C, Sep 2024
We managed to be the second canoe of the year to capsize after setting off but this actually made it all the more memorable and would definitely do it again!
Sarah_S, Sep 2024
Lovely experience, though we had torrential rain on the way back but was still a good laugh with the group we were in. Unfortunately our guide wasn't the best, not sure he really wanted to be there!
Venessa_A, Sep 2024
Canoeing along the aqueduct was a treat, the views were amazing and the instructors were knowledgeable and pleasant. The negatives were that the canal was very busy with other canoe groups and narrow boats and although the experience was marketed to be 2.5 hrs long it was actually only 1.40 hrs and therefore not really good value for money.
Shernaz_W, Aug 2024
Good canoes. Well guided, very safe and a lot of fun. Amazing views from the aqueduct. So glad we didn’t miss this experience.
Carl_R, Aug 2024

Fantastic experience! Couldn’t fault the tour guides, very informative, helpful and chatty. Made us worried one’s feel at ease. One of them even took some pictures for us as they were on foot. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back with my kids.

The staff was exceptionally helpful and went the extra mile to make our experience unforgettable. We had a great time canoeing down the aqueduct it's a great way to explore the area.
nivatt, Aug 2024
Was a great experience despite some inclement weather. Was glad we stuck to the two hours though as we were quite tired by the end. I think some of the participants would have appreciated a little more instruction on how to paddle straight as some seemed very new to canoeing. I didn’t appreciate having to lumber my canoe 100 yards down the path and into the water but with only 1 instructor we didn’t have much choice.
