We are absolutely delighted to announce that River Severn Canoes has been awarded the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award 2026, making this our third consecutive year receiving one of the travel industry's most recognised accolades.

Thank You to Our Customers

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has chosen to paddle with us over the past year and taken the time to leave a review. Your kind words help other people discover the magic of exploring one of Britain's most beautiful rivers by canoe.

Whether you've joined us for a relaxing afternoon paddle, a family adventure, a couples' day out or a multi- day trip, we're so pleased you've chosen to spend your time with us.

What Our Customers Have Been Saying

Here are just a few of the wonderful reviews we've received this season:

"Had a brilliant few hours paddling down the river from Hampton Loade to Arley. Monty and the team could not have been more friendly or informative... We will be back to do a longer trip."

Another guest wrote:

"Beautiful day paddling down the Severn... Made all the better by the attentive lads helping us in and out at the landings and allowing us to complete the trip at our own pace with no time pressures. Highly recommended for adventurous 70-year-olds like me!"

Exceptional customer service is something we're incredibly proud of, as this reviewer highlighted:

"Brilliant day on the river. A pleasure to meet Monty... He certainly goes the extra mile (x10) for his customers."

Many visitors simply fall in love with the river itself:

"The scenery was beautiful... The business owner was fun and enthusiastic which also made the day."

And for larger groups and families, organisation is everything:

"A top-class service from start to finish. Highly recommended for families, groups or anyone wanting a great day on the river."
