Wyedean Canoe & Adventure Centre
About
Wyedean Canoe & Adventure Centre, established in 1987, is a family‑run river adventure hub located in the picturesque Symonds Yat East near Ross‑on‑Wye. Nestled on the tranquil River Wye, the centre offers a range of self‑guided canoe and kayak trips from half‑day stints to four‑day circuit tours to Hereford. Visitors can also book hourly hires, watersports and team events. Every trip is backed by a comprehensive safety briefing, skilfully fitted paddles and waterproof barrels, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike. The natural scenery, wildlife spotting and historic bridges along the river make each journey memorable – from a gentle 9‑mile splash to a full 43‑mile adventure that traverses charming villages, ancient stone bridges and the iconic Symonds Yat Rock. Reservations are recommended during peak season (May to September) to secure spots, especially for popular 1‑day and 4‑day packages. Book online or call 01600 891 376 to arrange your adventure.
