Facilities were first rate with hot and cold drinks available. Totally recommend this trip to anyone, 40+ minutes in a wonderful area, with superb low background music. Can not be faulted. Highly recommended. Thank you. · via Google [cfowler7](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100400242257135910808/reviews) ★★★★★ Had a fantastic time learning out the history and stories of the river. Saw a kingfisher and other wildlife. Worth a ride. · via Google [Inyourvicinity](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106588814989676673177/reviews) ★★★★★ We boarded and waited only 5 minutes for enough people to get under way. Tickets can be bought at the IceCream kiosk or on the boat if ypu have cash. As it was a saturday lunchtime the river was teeming with canoes. Over 100 during our 40+ minute trip. There was also plenty birdlife around and my son saw at least 1 fish leap out. The boat is very steady and the skipper gives plenty local info about the sights you will see. There are no refreshments on board so bring your own. The views are great, the ride is smooth and its a beautiful place to be. · via Google [Sharon Evans](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100702256993887016325/reviews) ★★★★★ A lovely 40 min cruise down our lovely River Wye. Refreshments on board. The skipper gave us lots of info about the Wye also pictures. Also info about films which had been filmed there. Lots of birds to see.
