5.00Our trip was excellent. We had Eleanor as a guide who was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Eleanor supported us in as a family. We really enjoyed canoeing over the aqueduct. We stopped on the other side and got out and were able to use facilities and see the aqueduct from different views. Would thoroughly recommend it, a great activity to do for any age our children were 12 and 15 and handled it fine.
Perfect as expected

5.00Fabulous experience made even better by our wonderful guide. Ant explained everything clearly and was patient and kind when our craft constantly zig zagged along. He knew everyone’s name within minutes of meeting us. I have the memory of a fish so am amazed by this! Highly recommend this company and this experience.
Beautiful tour, organisation needs some work!

3.00The tour was great, it’s a beautiful place to kayak! But it shouldn’t take over an hour to get in the water, really disappointing. Late arrivals, equipment swaps etc etc - it was chaotic and not ideal to spend an hour of a 2.5hr tour just to get started.
Perfect experience ;)...

5.00It was very lovely experience Canoeing through aqueduct. I would highly recommend it. The lady who was leading was friendly, check in was simple. Bare in mind that you have to park your car where parking when you just get in.
A unique shared experience with my daughter

5.00My daughter and I originally booked for the end of March but due to very high gusty winds unfortunately we weren't able to actually go over the Aqueduct. However I contacted TNR Outdoors afterwards and they were incredibly helpful and allowed to us rebook on a date/time that was mutually suitable/available. Our guide was Emily who was the same guide that we had back in March and she was excellent once again. The weather obviously helps (hot and sunny with no wind) the canoe trip was brilliant, less scary than walking over the bridge and the scenery is outstanding. Highly recommend this to anyone who is averagely fit and thinking of doing something outdoors that is unique with a friend or family member.
