    We reserved a canoe from Wroxham in the summer. Instructions of finding the meeting place were easy to follow and the staff member that greeted us was friendly and offered simple guidance to get us started. We had a lovely paddle upstream before turning back around. A nice quiet, gentle activity that I would recommend when visiting the broads.

    We had 2 hours paddle boarding, we (myself and a friend) never done it before, from the start when we were trying to find the place, a guy (Russell) with a welcoming smile welcomed us, he was absolutely fantastic, his attitude and politeness, his body language and his sense of humor was fantastic, he made sure we knew what we need to know and make us (me) feel safe. We then came back and he safly helped us out, no falling in the water incidents! We chatted for a while and he honestly made the whole experience ao much better. I very recommend this place, and the paddle boarding.

    Very easy to paddle. We did the North route. If you hire for three hours you have time to stop off for a drink at the pub. Will definately try a day hire for the longer South route with more pubs and that out of Norwich feeling.
