Yes. You will be paddling the raft but there will also be a qualified guide with you at all times who is in control of the raft.
No. Due to the nature of white water rafting we must insist that the same participants remain throughout as they will have to attend the safety briefing and gain a level of familiarisation with the activity and the guide as the session progresses.
No. Unfortunately the use of Go Pro's is prohibited whilst white water rafting as a safety precaution.
Please call to check the availability of a photographer being present for your session.
Yes. The maximum weight limit for activities with the NWWC is 115kg (18st), and the maximum chest size is 51inches.
Yes. Each activity has a strict minimum age. Please refer to the terms and conditions for each activity. We have no upper age limit!
Not at all! The only pre-requisites are that you are able to swim and are physically fit. You will attend a full safety briefing before going on the water where the guide will make sure everyone is happy with the commands. We would recommend you have some whitewater experience or have rafted before if you're interested in the Orca Adventure, this is because it's quite a challening activity and we want you to enjoy it!
Everyone rafting must be able to swim. We don't recommend rafting activities for people who are pregnant.
We don’t currently have any restrictions for people with medical conditions, but we do advise people with medical conditions to seek advice from their doctor. The activity will involve moderate exertion and can involve falling into cold water (all be it while wearing a wetsuit) or impact from collision which might result in minor trauma.
If you have any concerns about your specific requirements, please contact the centre on 01678 521083 to discuss your situation.
Yes. The café has a riverside terrace where you can watch the activities, there is also the Tryweryn Trail footpath along the length of the rafting course and many picnic areas dotted around the site.
Yes, we are very dog-friendly at the Centre. Providing all dogs are kept under control, all are welcome. Please take extra care during lambing season.
Yes, we have Manon's Riverside Café on site that provides all sorts of snacks and refreshments and plenty of hot tea should you need warming up after your session. They also serve delicious hot lunches and wood fired pizzas on busy weekend days.
You should bring swimwear and a towel. If you own a wetsuit and it is suitable for rafting (i.e. long-legged) then bring that along too, it will save you hiring one. We provide boots, helmets and buoyancy aids.
Yes, wetsuits are compulsory and we have a full range of wetsuits to fit a range of sizes. If you have your own wetsuit it must be long-legged and checked over by the Centre staff before your session. If you do not have your own they are available to hire at a cost of £5 per person. Wetsuit boots are included with any hire. If you want some handy hints on how to put on a wetsuit, check out our blog post here.
If you may need your medication while you're on the raft, yes bring it with you. We can keep medications dry in our first aid kits in the rafts.
The Tryweryn is a dam controlled river, and Natural Resources Wales control these releases. White water rafting can only take place when there is a water release of 9 cumecs or above. For more information about the water releases on the Tryweryn visit The River page.
We tend to find out only two to three days before the event, the best thing to do is to check the Water Information page in the week before you are rafting. You should also check this before you travel to the Centre in case of any late changes.
You can either have a full refund or put your booking on hold until you have another date in mind.
