We look to our own business as a framework to make a commitment to sustainable tourism. It’s designed to provide our customers with the knowledge they leave only footprints and take only photographs. By adopting our Green Tourism approach, our business is signalling to visitors that it recognises the importance and value of sustainable good practice.
Once begun, you take the raft tour, rowed by an experienced trained guide along the River Severn, visiting both historical and beautiful sites. Photos are available at the end of the scenic float tour. Come and enjoy the scenic Shropshire River Raft Tour. We then shuttle you back to our little green kiosk in the Wharfage car park (TF8 7NH) by minibus.
For the full day hire canoes, kayaks, mini-rafts and Mega stand up paddle boards (SUPs) we meet at the kiosk (8.50am) and shuttle you by mini-bus to Atcham and you paddle back to Ironbridge.
Please note: The Iron Bridge is going through a refurbishment in 2018 so may be under cover. This will not hinder us on our trip and the views of the Shropshire countryside are still as beautiful as ever.

If you are interested in a trip with Shropshire Raft Tours and would like to make a reservation, or you have a query, please click the button to be taken to our contact page. Thank you.My girlfriend and I hired a Canadian canoe from here and took a wonderful journey from Atcham to Ironbridge. We now had the freedom to do as we pleased. After some hilarious attempts to get in the boat at the shore we left the other couple in our wake. Literally! The river and surroundings are beautiful. After only 5 minutes you completely forget where you are, traffic sounds disappear and you find yourself drifting through nature. The Bird life astounded me. I have lived in Shropshire all my life and have never seen so many different birds before! The river was slow moving and gentle with shallow and deep areas, but nothing that was challenging or worrying.
All in all, a great day out! I cannot recommend this enough, as I said, I’ve lived in Shropshire my entire life and this allows you to see the county from a totally different perspective.
We will definitely be doing this again, maybe with friends and family. Give these people a call. They are lovely. You will not regret it.

Son with special needs made welcome
Raft tour website was very accurate in it’s description. Their short video was helpful for my autistic son to see what to expect. Nigel, our tour guide was a wealth of information and packed in a lot of entertaining chat along with knowledge of the history of what we were passing. He treated my son (22) with special needs just like an ordinary human.
More than a trip on the river
I took the 4.30 raft tour with my husband and 13 year old son. There were 15 of us in the raft plus Nigel (guide and entertainment) . It was such a fun trip with lots to see and learn about. As this was our first time in Shropshire, I can’t think of a better way to find out about both the history of the area, and about the nature of the River Severn. Nigel brings knowledge and humour together to provide a unique experience. The raft is comfortable, dry, and very stable so no need to worry about falling in or getting wet. I thoroughly recommend this trip..
