Backwaters Hire in Abergavenny, is a environmentally conscious kayak rental company with a responsible, relaxed outlook on adventures that allow clients to enjoy the great outdoors at their own pace. At Backwaters Hire we endeavour to minimise the impact our business could have on the environment as well as wildlife, and have developed a keen and positive awareness of the environment. We rent out open canoes, open cockpit kayaks and closed-cockpit kayaks which are suitable for the more experienced kayaker. Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is a sheltered, calm waterway, which is ideal for beginners, parents kayaking with children, or for someone just wanting to calmly enjoy a kayaking experience on still waters without weirs and rapids. Backwaters Hire was established in 1988 as a family run canoe and kayak rental business, and our friendly staff are all experienced and enthusiastic kayakers who will see you off on your kayaking expedition, and will be there to welcome you back on your return.
