Fuelled by an intense enthusiasm for exploration and a devotion to nature. Located in the breath-taking scenery of North Wales, Grizzly's story started the moment he first got his paddles in the water and became captivated by canoeing.
About
We met up with the talented Grizzly Reeves who is both a qualified canoe instructor, an experienced timber mill worker and professional photographer - who now lives near Wrexham.
Originally from Staffordshire, Grizzly attended university at the University of Wales down in Newport where he studied Photography and where his love of Wales began. He has now settled in North Wales for the past 6 years.
Offering guided tours for small groups in canoes at nearby Poncysyllte Aqueduct, Chirk Tunnels, River Dee and further afield over at Bala Lake – Grizzly brings a personable service.

Canoe Trips
When we met in the Visit Wrexham offices Grizzly explained to us about his growing canoe experiences business. He said, “I actually want people to get into nature and canoeing, and I only focus on delivering this for smaller groups, as I want people to form lasting memories and come away with a positive experience.”
Offering fully insured trips, Grizzly is both Canoe Coach Qualified and Leader Guide certified for Open Water along with being White Water Qualified – meaning he can offer all his customers memorable experiences – in a variety of different settings.
This is an inclusive experience and Grizzly added “If you can sit in a boat, we can take you!”
Grizzly has an infectious nature and passion for nature and loves the beauty of the Wrexham area - and is keen to get customers to try his experiences out in an unhurried way and safe environment.
Future Plans
When we asked Grizzly about his plans for the future he explained “We’re looking to grow again this year, we are on the lookout for corporate sponsors and by the end of 2026 we’d like to be putting on a number of different routes and options for customers including trips on the River Dee, where we believe everyone can enjoy river canoeing”.
