The UK's best rafting is at Canolfan Tryweryn, the National White Water Centre. We have Ultimate Sessions, Rapid Sessions and Tryweryn Safaris.

We also offer canyoning in beautiful Eryri (Snowdonia). We have amazing canyoning adventures. Canolfan Tryweryn’s canyon sessions combine rock climbing with abseiling, and use these skills to explore waterfalls, splash into plunge pools, and whoosh down natural water slides. 

If you're an experienced kayaker, canoeist or whitewater SUP-er, you can also paddle the Tryweryn.

Canolfan Tryweryn, the National White Water Centre, is based just outside of Bala, in Eryri (Snowdonia), North Wales. Our postcode for sat nav is LL23 7NU. We're on the A4212. Our What3Words location is  ///triathlon.haven.pleaser
