Excursions en canoë à l'aqueduc de Pontcysyllte à Llangollen
Description
Nous commençons à l'extrémité sud de l'aqueduc et bientôt vous pagayez à travers ce célèbre exploit d'ingénierie qui se dresse à 126 pieds au-dessus de la rivière Dee. Bien que ce style de canoë soit considéré comme une séance calme et paisible, le regard sur le bord est à couper le souffle, mais avec notre personnel à portée de main, il n'y a rien à craindre, surtout avec un sentier sûr du côté opposé. Après cela, il est alors facile de descendre le canal, d'apprendre et de développer des compétences en face avec des jeux et des défis. Notre point final est le pub Sun Trevor qui est un endroit idéal pour de la nourriture de bonne qualité et une boisson fraîche.

We had a guide called Jack (amazingly from the same valley we live in) who was lovely. We had 2 canoes for a group of 4 and 2 dogs along for the ride. He was brilliant when we struggled with lots of zigzagging, but was very supportive and guided us back to the drop off point. Twas a little bum twitching over the aqueduct but such a rush. 100% recommend 🛶
Fabulous late afternoon/evening, great experience. Highly recommended it and if you are lucky enough to have Jack as your guide, he did a brilliant job, very informative and friendly!
We are a family with two Neurodiverse children, one of which has Scoliosis and Dyspraxia. Though they are teenagers we were a little nervous of them getting tired or having a meltdown and us getting stuck. Carl, came up with a great solution of tying two Canoes together. Creating a Bell boat of sorts. This made it super stable and allowed the children to join in when they felt able. It also made the experience a family one, instead of the stronger paddlers racing ahead. Carl was amazing, he understood without us explaining that my son didn't like direct communication and instead of pushing him to interact he adjusted his style accordingly. We took the early morning, 8.30am which was perfect as the river was so quiet, not so on our return. We made good time, working as a team to paddle, so we were able to stop for toilets and Ice cream when we reached the Basin by the Aqueduct. On our return my son was struggling with his back, the Canoe afforded the perfect place for him to lie down. He got to enjoy the Vista and I didn't need to struggle alone, as we were paddling as a family. Thanks for an unforgettable trip, we will definitely be making the 3hr trip back to visit again.
We were experienced canoeists but we were impressed how Jack gave simple instruction to those who were not and with how he fixed their struggles. He was friendly and funny and knowlegdeable with the history of the bridge and canal. The company was helpful in getting us to the met point. A fabulous experiance off our bucket list. Thank you Jack.
Great day canoeing across the viaduct. Jack, our guide, made the day really enjoyable and safe
Harry was a great guide. The trip was good fun and well organised. The views from the aqueduct were beautiful.
Me and my girlfriend had a great afternoon and really enjoyed the whole experience. Canoeing along the aqueduct was amazing and the views were fantastic. Emma was a brilliant guide, we had a good laugh and picked lots of blackberrys along the way.
Carl was an enthusiastic and energetic guide who got us all safely and happily through the experience. A busy day over the aqueduct with lots of other canal users but that gave us an opportunity to take in the great views and socialise with passers by . Would thoroughly recommend and it’s not as daunting as you might imagine , even if heights aren’t your thing 😊
Very personable guide, Jack, gave clear and precise instructions and was very knowledgeable about places enroute to the aqueduct and of the aqueduct itself. Two and a half hours of gentle canal paddling with beautiful scenery. Only twenty five minutes to the aqueduct and a short wait for the canal boats to pass from the other direction. Excellent experience with the bonus of paddling back across and even a walk across to give you a very different perspective of a masterpiece of engineering. Well worth the money and one crossed off my bucket list
Very easy booking online. I went with 2 grandchildren aged 15 &13. It was a wonderful experience along a peaceful stretch of the canal and then the vertiginous view from the aqueduct. Our guide, Harry was so good. Professional, informative, helpful and witty.
