Water sports and leisure activities Wales

The National Whitewater Centre organises kayaking and rafting days. Beneath the lake is the old village of Bala, which would have been submerged after a young man forgot to hand over the well cover… It is said that one day the floods will devour the small village of Bala. The city is famous for its traditional past in wool making.

For all ages and levels. Some activities, such as windsurfing, require a minimum age of 16. Here, you can learn water sports such as kayaking, catamaran sailing, windsurfing, surfing, paddleboarding and more. You can learn for an hour, or opt directly for a package lasting several days. For those already familiar with the sport, don't worry: courses are also available for higher levels. For thrill-seekers, West Wales Watersports offers coasteering trips (jumping into the water from cliffs).

Maritimesightseeing to see the impressive coastline of the Gower Peninsula by rigid-hulled inflatable boat. Depart from Oxwich Bay for either Worms Head or Three Cliffs Bay. A great opportunity to enjoy the scenery and discover the marine wildlife up close! From May¹, when the summer season opens, we hope to see dolphins, seals and numerous birds during the two-hour outings. And even without them, the view of the coast and cliffs is breathtaking.

RibRide offers a range of outings and boat types to suit all tastes. You can go for thrills and speed, or simply to enjoy a nice ride and beautiful scenery. Aboard comfortable, quiet but powerful inflatable boats, discover the Menai Strait, its historic bridges and stately homes, all the way to Bangor Pier. You can also explore Puffin Island and observe the country's largest seal colony.

You have a wide range of options: abseiling, coastering, kayaking, mountain biking, orienteering, climbing, rafting... For the youngest or beginners who are apprehensive, Blue Peris Mountain Centre also offers the possibility to learn indoor climbing. And if you want to go on an adventure, don't hesitate to talk to them and ask about day trips or more. They also offer some dormitory beds if needed.
