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. 

Book your tickets to the Private Rafting Safari at Snowdonia's National White Water Centre here, or take a look at some of the other activities at the centre.

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.
