Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had an amazing couple of hours paddle boarding on the river with my teenage daughter. Alfie was a great instructor, super relaxed and very experienced. 10/10 would recommend.

My 2-hr beginners kayaking session with Aghi was great. He put me at ease from the start, and I enjoyed paddling from Victoria bridge to Pultney weir. I recommend Original Wild for anyone interested in Kayaking.

Very well organised, we had lots of fun. Great for beginners and more experienced people on the water. They provide free photos unlike many other places. Our guide was very good and it was a lovely trip along the canal.

We had so much fun kayaking, and we'll definitely be back to try paddle-boarding. 3 of our group of 4 have lived in Bath many years but it was a great way to see Bath from a different viewpoint. Big shoutout to our guide, Alfie, who was lovely and created the perfect level of chatting, whilst also letting us explore on our own.

Took my dog on their "Pups on SUPs" paddle-boarding class. It was fantastic! The staff were very instructive, patient and kind - even though my dog was chaotic, me and my partner were the slowest paddlers, and I spent the whole time photographing everything! When we arrived, we were running late, had already put away our bags (ready to board), and then realised we didn't have dog treats on hand, so they even let us grab some from the shop and pay after the trip. Wonderful evening for everyone (humans and dog) and can't recommend it enough. A+++++

We joined a group 2 hour paddle boarding session today with zero experience.
We loved it. The staff were super helpful and friendly and we built enough confidence to stand up on the return back.
Alfie, our instructor was great and we would highly recommend.
Great fun and great value for money.

We were visiting from abroad in Bath. Had younger child and adult children in our group and this was a fantastic experience for all those ages. It was about two hours long and it went by so quickly. The view of all the historic buildings and city of Bath from the water was beautiful and peaceful. Our guide was awesome, some of us had never paddle boarded before and he helped us master our skills to navigate. Had life vest so felt very safe and yes fell in the water. Able to get back on and manage easily, heads up the water is quite cold😂. My youngest fell in and our guide was able to get to him quickly, just to make certain he was safe, along with the life vest. Recommend wearing athletic clothing that drys quickly if you do get wet. I will say and the website explains in detail that you do need to be an able and secure swimmer. They also take pictures of you throughout the experience for you, so no phones needed and not recommended in case you fall in. It was a lovely day and delightful experience! Highly recommend and will definitely do again!
