Wonderful day out for Father's day, we set off at 10:15 in the minibus and headed down stream, passing 7 bridges and so much wildlife and beautiful scenery, took around 3 hours in total. The staff were lovely and made everything very easy so we were able to enjoy the whole experience to the max! Definitely will be back to try out the rafts :)

A. B.

We booked the mini raft for a half day experience and had a wonderful time! The guides were so helpful and friendly and the views were beautiful. couldn't recommend more and will be returning.

Z. N.

Paddling down the River to Ironbridge was an amazing experience and made all the better with the work of Nigel and Sharon. I highly recommend booking and I also recommend you come prepared. We had a party of four and we all really enjoyed ourselves, seeing a different perspective of Shropshire. Book Book Book!

We hired a mini raft on Bank Holiday Monday and had a great experience. Booking was simple, the price was competitive and the guys were really helpful and friendly. We started at Cressage and rowed to Ironbridge - we even had time to enjoy a picnic in our raft along the way. The raft and equipment were clean, dry and well maintained. Safety was a top priority at all times. They gave us all the information up front so we knew what to wear, what to bring with us and where to meet up. The whole experience was well organised - information and a mobile contact were included in the raft so we had clear instructions and directions at hand at all times. Well organised, safe and good fun. Highly recommend.

N. B.

We had a brilliant time on the Mini Rafts - thank you! Nigel and Sharon were excellent from our first contact to getting us on the water. It was great that we could take our dog too! For anyone looking for something to do, that’s a bit different, around Ironbridge - we can fully recommend Shropshire Raft Tours.

Whilst searching TripAdvisor for things to do in Shropshire, this raft tour company came up. The online booking process was easy and the website was very informative. When we arrived at the car park, we were greeted by Nigel and his partner and another customer for the raft tour. They were very welcome and we enjoyed a little chat whilst putting our buoyancy aids on and waited for the last of the customers to arrive. There was a toddler, his mother and her friend on the tour with us and Nigel was very patient with him and included him in the tour by letting him have a go at moving the oars. Nigel told us about the fascinating history of Ironbridge and also stories of his time working in Canada. Nigel also kept us entertained by telling us stories from previous raft tours he had done. The bridge itself was still having construction work done on it during our visit but this didn't hinder our enjoyment of the tour. Highly recommend this tour to see the beautiful countryside from the river. Will return in the future when the bridge has been restored to its former glory.

P. C.

Wonderful experience on the majestic River Severn at Ironbridge. Shropshire Raft Tours were great. Really simple online booking and seamless briefing and we were on the river. Beautiful stretch of water to explore the old power station and bridges along the way. Highly recommended for a family day out. The raft tours are now operating as normal.

H. C.

Nigel was great! Friendly, communicated clearly, and super flexible with bookings. Would definitely recommend.

Sorry for the late review. We went to Shropshire for half term Feb 16th 2019. While researching before we left Folkestone on Friday night we were looking for something to do and I noticed that at 8:45pm Shropshire Raft Tours said 'Open'. I called the number and the fact that it was answered I knew we were on to a good thing! Nigel was friendly on the phone and we agreed that we would go on a tour the next morning. When we arrived Sharon was pumping up the raft and Nigel warmly greeted us. He put us at ease and we joined a small party to start our tour. The tour was excellent, lots of information and great views facilitated by Nigel's navigation expertise! We had a really fun time with some excitement at the 'whitewater' section which was quite tame but enjoyable. Sharon was there to meet us at the end and we were bused back to the car park. The great customer service reached a conclusion when Sharon kindly sent us some free photographs of the day! Thank you very much. I will recommend this tour to everyone! Gerry D'cruz

This is a fun experience to be had. You see the world from a whole different perspective, can get a bit of exercise and relax at the same time! The hosts are great, very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Really recommend.

L. B.

I visited this lovely town once a year and I see something new with each other: a renovated bridge, arranged walking trails, children's squares, flower boxes. A very beautiful quiet town with its charm!

A. S.

What an amazing experience! We recommed it to anyone who loves outside, fresh air and amazing sceenes when traveling down the river! 10/10

Z. A.

Great experience with Shropshire raft tours. Easy to book over the phone. Received plenty info by email. Nigel and Sharon took good care of us. We had a very pleasant two hours on the river. We saw kingfishers, deers, cows, sheep, plenty of birds etc. The view of the Ironbridge is Great! We will definitely share our experience with family and friends.

c. p.

I hired a bike for the day and cycled down to Bridgnorth (a lovely town worth a visit). The staff were very helpful and friendly, and its great to have a bike rental place in the area. The bike was very new and in great condition, would highly recommend! There are loads of cycle paths in the area to explore

E. V.

Excellent service with easy booking system and information given before we moved on. Such an amazing 1 hour with paddling the canoe, especially with zero experience, kids and simply family members. Laught a lot while trying to straight our canoe. Thank you very much for everything. P. S. Very sad that 1 hour gone so quickly.

N. M.

I booked a canoe for an hour for a person I support. I booked over the phone and got a slot at lunch time. We both enjoyed a pleasant paddle up the Severn from Ironbridge, past the old power plant up to Buildwas. It was a lovely quiet stretch of river and we were lucky enough to see kingfishers darting along the banks. The staff were really friendly and it was a very easy and straightforward process to get launched. I would highly recommend this as a unique way to view the Ironbridge and River Severn that flows through.

S. S.

Had a great morning out on the river with my husband. We hired a two person kayak for two hours. Useful tips given on how to navigate the current of the water and we had a great time. Friendly and pleasant owners. Will certainly go again.

We were a mixed age group of 4 adults and 2 children, we phoned on spec on Monday morning and were fitted in with canoeing that afternoon. The person on the phone was very friendly and helpful, telling us of the different options available and the prices. There was no hard sell. We met as arranged, in the carpark at the river and were given our life jackets and a safety talk then taken down to our canoes. Everything was contactless and we felt very safe at all times. We hired 2 canoes for 1 hour and had a lovely time going up and down the river. It was great fun and we all enjoyed the experience, the company even took some photos and emailed them to us as a memento of our day. I would definitely recommend this company, they were professional, friendly and helpful at all times and it was a wonderful way to see Ironbridge

Booked the raft guided trip last minute, 2 adults and 6 children aged 10-13. Wasn’t really sure what to expect... totally exceeded our expectations! Our guide Nigel was an absolute superstar! Kept all the children totally entertained and amused the whole time and us adults! (Who are just 2 extra big kids). We really enjoyed listening to Nigel’s funny stories and the history about the area. Highlight was letting us take turns with the oars and being ‘baptised’ in the river!! For once, we found an activity everyone enjoyed, the kids were still talking about it hours later. Thank you very much for your hospitality and for a very fun ending to our short camping trip. We will most definitely be back and would highly recommend to everyone!

Spent a weekend in Ironbridge in August and hired a mini raft. Booking was super easy, transport to the start point was included (extremely covid secure minibus transport with a screen separating us from the driver). All equipment was clean and we spent a leisurely few hours paddling back to Ironbridge. Lucky to see a kingfisher and even some deer (so cute!). Couple running the firm were super friendly and we had such a fab time we came back on the Sunday and hired bikes for a ride to Bridgenorth where we enjoyed a spot of lunch. They had numerous recommendations for us on places to eat and drink (spoilt for choice!) and great local knowledge of interesting places to visit. Super covid secure set up and felt completely safe at all times. Highly recommend to anyone in the area and we’ll definitely be back again. Thank you!!

N. W.

Had a great time today canoeing! Staff were incredibly helpful and gave us some tips for how to get the most out of our two hour session. They even give you a dry bag to keep your valuables safe incase you rock your boat a bit too much!

Me and my girls done the mini raft, was absolutely amazing from start to finish it took around 3 hours, so you get a long time on the river, you get to see lots of wildlife along the way. Nigel and Sharon are lovely, very professional at what they do and they do it brilliant, My girls loved it and can not wait to do it again. Thank you 😊.

A. N.

Great day out with friends. Easy booking, really friendly staff and good equipment. Sent lots of info by email before I arrived which was helpful. We all enjoyed very much and will book again.

L. N.

Hired the raft to go down the Rapids, had great fun & even took on the challenge of trying to paddle back up the river, needless to say we didn't get to far. This did only take an hour but was certainly worth the money we spent. Both instructors were very knowledgeable & friendly, would definitely recommend for all ages.

B. F.

We hired a family canoe from Ironbridge and paddled along the Severn. Fantastic way to experience the river and Ironbridge, and really well organised and run (especially at the moment with social distancing). Thanks so much for a great trip, we would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone.

J. R.

Lovely tour down the Severn with a lovely and knowledgeable guide. Fab seeing the river and bridges from a different perspective. We went as a treat for my son's 12th birthday and Nigel let him have a go with the oars, which he very much enjoyed :) A great way to spend a relaxing hour or so, would highly recommend. We're going to do the day trip with a bbq at the end next, very much looking forward to that.

S. E.

Brilliant day out thank you guys! Definitely will be returning in the future.

C. D.

Fantastic experience, children loved it nigel was very friendly and had a good knowledge of iron bridge told in an amusing way

M. M.

Great raft trip. Scenery was stunning, trip was informative and guide was funny and entertaining. Booking was easy and staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back again with more friends and family.

P. L.

Nice way to spend a couple of hours on the river. You can hire a raft for a half day or a full day where you can take a picnic & enjoy a leasurly day on the river. Both of these options are suitable for small groups of friends. They also offer canoes if that's what you prefer or they do guided tours for larger groups.

S. 2.

A cosy little experience for a float down the river. Not a lot of action but they also offer canoes and kayaks if that's more your thing. The guide is the best part, giving lots of information about Ironbridge past and present. There are a few good pubs in Ironbridge so it's worth visiting for a river float and a drink (preferably in that order).

A. S.

SO much fun, and host Nigel is extremely experienced and gave us a great talk as we floated down the river. A really lovely experience. Thank you and I can recommend this to anyone!

D. B.

Great day on the river. Went out on the raft in the morning and then out on the stand up paddle board in the afternoon. Great scenery and great fun through the rapids. Great guide who made sure we all had fun and stayed safe

L. W.

The guided tour on their large raft - billed as a bit of an adventure - really rather is a relaxed afternoon cruise ... ok if you want to learn a bit about the beautiful gorge, not great if you want to experience the river ...

H. L.

Highly recommend the Atcham to Ironbridge canoe trip... it's a great day out, through the most beautiful scenery. A fantastic way to experience peace and tranquillity while feeling a bit intrepid!

M. J.

Took this trip recently with some friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so relaxing and we learnt some interesting history about ironbridge too. Would highly recommend and great value for money.

M. G.

Hired a 2 man canoe for me and 16 year old son . met the man and woman at the wantage car park and within 20 mins we were at atcham ready to go .the guy gave us a quick brief here's your canoe see you at ironbridge and we were off .we were novices on the water but got hang of it within minutes and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and wildlife on offer stopped for lunch at one of many flat shore lined excess points and 3 and a half hours later back at warfage car park .highly recommended will do again soon thanks to Shropshire raft tours for a great experience.

k. j.

Great day!! We hired a raft in the morning and a MEGGA SUP in the afternoon. It was MEGGA SICK! Especially when it got a little bumpy on the river. Oh and not to forget the amazing scenery. Deffinatey recommend it.
