Whitewater Active is one of North Wales' longest-running outdoor activity centres, based on the banks of the River Dee in the heart of Llangollen. Operating since 2007, they offer nine guided adventures - white water rafting, river bugs, gorge walking, canyoning, rock climbing, abseiling, open canoeing, mountain biking and the spectacular Pontcysyllte Aqueduct canoe tour - all with kit included and qualified, first-aid-trained instructors on hand throughout.
From white water rafting and river bugs to gorge walking, canyoning, rock climbing and the iconic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct canoe tour - there's something for every age and appetite. Sessions run 7 days a week from just £50 per person, all kit included, qualified instructors throughout.
Kids from age 8 welcome, and they ride in the same raft as the grown-ups - so nobody's left on the sidelines. Whether it's a birthday treat, a half-term adventure or just something a bit different, this is the kind of day the whole family will still be talking about on the drive home.
Warm showers and changing rooms on-site, then 30 seconds to Riverbanc cafe for specialty coffee and brunch overlooking the rapids. Staying over? The boutique hotel upstairs has family rooms from £120 including breakfast.
