A trip to North Wales is not complete without visiting the UNESCO Pontcysllte Aqueduct, and what better way to experience it than travelling over it in a kayak?!
Guided by a qualified and experience TNR instructor, you will learn the basics of kayaking whilst experience some of the most beautiful sights Llangollen has to offer.
After meeting your instructor at the canal, we will begin with a quick safety brief, then get you into your kayak!
From here, your instructor will teach you the basics to paddle your kayak in a straight line, how to turn and make sure you’re comfortable before you head towards the aqueduct!
Part of the UNESCO world heritage site, it is 38.4m (126ft) high over the river dee, and 306.9m (10007ft) long. We think there is no better no better way to experience it than by kayak.
Each trip is led by our qualified instructors who will be on hand to help and answer any questions you might have along the way.

All of our instructors are highly experienced and have been trained and assessed to national governing body standards. They will always have your enjoyment and safety as their top priority.
You do not need any previous experience for this session.
This is suitable for anyone aged 8 or over. All children must be accompanied by an adult, we can organise sessions for groups of children but it helps to know in advance so we can make special provisions.
All of our equipment is chosen to be fit for purpose and is safety checked. You may bring your own equipment with you but using it will be at the instructor’s discretion.
We run this session to a ratio of 1:10 so there may be other people in your group.
We never mix certain groups such as school groups with stag/hen groups etc..
If you want a private session, please call us and we will try our best to help.
It is not the aim of the session to capsize, particularly on the canal where the water is so calm but it may happen – you will be given instructions on what to do if this does happen and your instructor will rescue your boat and help you back in.
Not at all, your buoyancy aid has more than enough floatation and our instructors will help at all times.
We sell waterproof phone cases which are suitable to keep your phone safe and dry. Your instructor may take some photos if they have the opportunity.
