Fantastic activity - Booked as a surprise for my husbands 30th week away in Wales. We had such a great time despite the rain! I wanted to mention accessibility as I am an ambulant wheelchair user and couldn’t find any info online and other companies said not accessible. I directly messaged the company who were fast at responding and confirmed they would be able to accommodate me. I sat on the edge of the canal, swung my legs into the canoe, put my hands on either side of the canal and transferred onto the seat easily. To get out I needed to stand up and then turn and sit back down on the edge of the canal which was a little trickier but manageable. The instructor helped keep the canal still and my partner was able to aid me. I then needed to stand up from the floor which is difficult but overall a success. If you are able to stand from sitting I’d say you’re able to participate. My husband did most of the paddling, he was able to learn how to steer for the both of us and I just contributed what I could with my limited strength. Overall, a fab activity and the aquaduct was simply beautiful! November was actually a great time as the canal was very quiet. I wrapped up in several layers and was warm. We were the only ones in the group but it was still a fun time and I felt it was a fair price point.

Well worth the time,... - Well worth the time, money, and energy! Was on my list to see the Aqueduct during my travels, and canoeing it was amazing! They also take you along the canal for a mile or so before reaching the aqueduct, so you get a chance to see the scenery and experience even more of this engineering marvel. The guide and staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip even better! Highly recommend.
