More Info
What should I bring with me to the National White Water Centre?

You should bring swimwear and a towel. If you own a wetsuit and it is suitable for rafting or canyoning (long-legged) then you can bring that along too.

Don't worry if you don't own a wetsuit - you can hire them, as well as wetsuit boots, helmets and buoyancy aids on all sessions.

Can I spectate at the National White Water Centre?

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.

Are there age limits for the activities at the National White Water Centre?

The minimum age for the Rafting Safari is 10 years old, while the minimum age for Ultimate Rafting, Rapid Session and Canyoning Adventure is 12 years old. 

I've never been rafting or canyoning before, can I still participate at the National White Water Centre?

Yes! As long as you are able to swim and are physically fit, then you will be able to participate. 

Everyone from first-timers to Olympian athletes have enjoyed whitewater rafting in the centre, and many of those who participate in the canyoning are first-timers. 

Can I bring my dog to the National White Water Centre?

Yes, the National White Water Centre is dog-friendly. Providing all dogs are kept under control, all are welcome.
