About National White Water Centre
The National White Water Centre is renowned for white water rafting and canoeing on the incredible River Tryweryn and opens its metaphorical doors to more than 50,000 adventurous visitors each year!
Anyone wanting to come and get involved must of course be a confident swimmer who likes the water, without that firm base it's not going to be as enjoyable as it by rights should be! For the Rafting Safari, all children must be 10 years old or over.
The Tryweryn Special has a minimum age of 14 years. The Orca experience is 16 years+ and Tandem Kayaking has a minimum age of 16 years too as these are extreme sessions that require experience with paddling or rafting. These age restrictions have all been made because of equipment size and safety, so are non-negotiable.
Canyoning is available for over 12s who are accompanied by and adult and 14+ without an adult. Scramble, slide and swim through the gorge that fit folk of all ages will enjoy.
There's also a pleasant woodland trail and cafe available for more the sedate landlubbers amongst you! Or you can lurk around with your camera and try and catch a shot of adventure in the wet stuff.
There are changing rooms, toilets, coin return lockers, hot showers and a first aid station provided on site.
