The summer is the time of year when splashing about on the water seems the perfect way to cool down, assuming we are having a hot summer! The river beckons everyone to relax in the peace of the flowing water & birdlife.

This might, however, get occasionally disrupted by the splashing and capsizing canoes & chatter & drinking around the campfire.
The River Wye is renowned for its leisurely canoeing and is truly a majestic river, full of wildlife and colour.

WHAT TO EXPECT
AAA has hosted this event for over a decade. So many people keep returning year after year for social fun in such a beautiful location.

This event is fully catered, perfect for jumping on board, paddling, swimming, having fun & relaxing around the campfire. The canoes are open Canadian-style canoes for three persons per canoe.
