Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Canoe Tours in Llangollen
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
We start at the south end of the aqueduct and soon enough you are paddling across this famous feat of engineering which stands at an impressive 126ft above the Dee River. Although this style of canoeing is deemed a calm and peaceful session the look over the edge is a breathtaking sight, but with our staff on hand, there is nothing to worry about, especially with a safe footpath on the opposing side.
After this it is then a breeze down the canal, learning and developing skills across the way with some games and challenges thrown in. Our endpoint is the Sun Trevor pub which is a great location for some good quality grub and a cold drink.

A thoroughly enjoyable family experience and highly recommended

5.00An absolutely brilliant half-day canoeing with the family on the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct adventure. Harry and Ollie were the perfect guides, providing clear and concise instructions on all aspects of the canoeing experience along with plenty of handy hints and a few jokes. Despite the less than perfect weather, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and really appreciated the cafe stop during the event to pick up hot drinks and snacks.
Awesome time

5.00We had such a lovely time canoeing for my husband’s birthday, it was a really relaxing and enjoyable experience. Our tour guide, Harry, was absolutely brilliant- so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the whole trip even better. He made us feel at ease straight away and clearly loves what he does. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer guide and would definitely recommend this canoeing experience to anyone looking for something fun and memorable.
Absolutely brilliant

5.00Myself and my partner did this as part of a virgin experience and loved it! Very little experience of canoeing between us, but our guide Harry was very informative and patient with the varied experience in the group. There were eight of us in the group, we had about a mile of canoeing before the aqueduct itself, after the aqueduct we had the chance to walk around underneath/go in the local shop before canoeing back to the start point. Harry’s positivity and enthusiasm throughout the trip made it a really enjoyable experience from start to finish (despite the very wet weather we started in!). Would definitely recommend the company and would have no reservations with booking activities with them in the future.

5.00We had an excellent experience. Harry our guide was very good. He made everyone very welcome, talked through what we were going to do. He put everyone at ease & explained both experienced & non-experienced canoes would have a great time, he was right. Amazing views and Harry gave a good talk about the area. We would highly recommend this tour & Harry.
