What else is on at The National White Water Centre?

Enjoy epic outdoor activities for families with the private Rafting Safari experience in Snowdonia

Immerse yourself in Snowdonia's natural river environment with 6km full of rapids fun, and a chance to swim and play along the way!

This adventure is a great way of exploring the beautiful lower river, without being quite as high-thrills as some of the site's other rafting experiences. While the rapids still make for some exhilarating fun, they are more spread out throughout this journey. 

This adventure is a private experience for your own group and takes you on a four-mile journey from the Centre to Bala. At the end of your adventure, you will be transported back to the Centre on a 10-minute bus journey to access hot showers and the café.
