What our clients say...
"Course was great, great content, felt like I was learning lots with every session. Information provided was all good. Boats were all at good standard and a wide range. Got more than I expected from the course. Being able to help break down a skill that I could already perform was very useful. I felt like I was being pushed all the time which was good. Chose Wild River as they are the leading provider in the North West." "Thanks again for a great few days on the Loch and River Tay. As always, fantastic coaching and great patience. Clearly I've lots to learn between now and assessment, but I'm looking forward to moving about on grade 2 water with confidence." "Really enjoyed the course. Built on my personal skills and gained loads more confidence in my leading. I chose Wild River because of their excellent reputation and previous courses." "Everything was well explained, thorough and clear. Individual feedback was really good and positive. It was awesome to be in a kayak that actually fits."
