★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,229 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90Our pick

Paddle across Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in a small group with local coaching, canal stories, and jaw-dropping views. About 2.5 hours.

“A really cool experience that not a lot of people can say they have done. I was a bit put out that this is not really for *novice canoe people and that we were not aware boats with motors also still use the aqueduct. I was very stressed about having never canoed plus all the traffic, I dont feel like I enjoyed as much as I could have.”
