Whitewater Rafting Activity, Bala,Wales
Overview
The Ultimate Session is unique in the UK, offering continuous world-class rapids, with almost no flat water between! A dam release guarantees the quality and constancy of rapids. (Other UK rivers cannot promise this due to unpredictable British weather!)
Your adventure will start and end at our riverside centre with thick 4-season wetsuits and full safety equipment allocation. After a quick instructional session, we will bus you to the head of the river where a massive 9 cumecs of pure mountain water begins it's cascade through ancient woodland.
This is the country's best whitewater rafting, staffed by guides with international experience. Over 3 descents you will play, freestyle and surf down fast, clean whitewater, each run increasing in excitement and challenge.
A spectacular choice for a rainy day activity, the weather cannot soak you more than we will! On a hot day, nothing feels fresher than punching through rapid after rapid.
This is a truly wild day out!
