After meet your guides in Totnes, paddle down the beautiful Dart Estuary stopping for a brew up over the open fire then off to collect wild foods or try your hand at fishing. On reaching our wild campsite you will be shown how to erect your bivouac shelter for the evening and how to light your cook fire the traditional way with flint and steel. Spend the evening chatting round the camp fire or try your hand at carving your own bushcraft spoon. Let the sounds of nature lull you asleep and wake up refreshed before blowing the fire alight to cook breakfast. Hone your canoeing skills on the paddle back and catch glimpses of kingfishers flitting from tree to tree before returning to civilisation.

Wye Canoe Camp
The River Wye is a haven for canoeists and those who appreciate the more wild side of life. The river and its banks are teeming with Otters, Voles, Mink, Salmon and Trout whilst above you can see Buzzards, Kingfishers, Herons, Red Kites and Peregrine Falcons. We offer you the chance to explore this superb river and approach it’s wildlife quietly by open canoe. Our guides will instruct you in canoeing as well as bushcraft skills and help you to recognise the wildlife. Spend between 2 and 6 days exploring the river and paddle through the fantastic Symonds Yat rapids. Either camp or bivouac in the evening at peaceful riverside campsites.
