Great day out. Wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and really contributed to the fun. Will do it again soon!
Fun Day For The Whole Party.
Relaxed but professional instructors coupled with a laugh-a-minute experience made the whole event a hugely memorable one for my two teenage boys and me who only decided to tag along at the last minute. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I have always wanted to try white water rafting. It was the best experience ever. Our guide in the raft was amazing too. I will definitely be coming back for more. An extremely well organised event from start to finish. Very professional. Really good value for money. I had so much fun.
The whole experience was one to remember. The tuition was well presented with humour and with the necessary safety aspects. Although the waters were bracing the warmth generated within the group by our instructor more than made up for the March weather.The white water really got our hearts pounding as we rode the rapids paddling our way down the picturesque river four times. Each time the instructor gave us more excitement and laughs as we got more adventurous. The last run down gave us a real soaking as we paddled up close to the rapids and flirted with the thundering torrents! The equipment was very good and after the last run the hot showers were just the ticket before enjoying a hot meal and drink in the riverside cafe. On leaving the rafting centre we viewed ourselves on a screen as a photographer captured the delights on our faces and we bought a cd with over 100 happy snaps to remind us what a great adventure we had.
By far one of the best adventure experiences I have ever had. If you are looking for an adrenaline fuelled experience this is for you. Despite the temperatures being freezing cold, we had a fantastic time and would definitely do it again. All the staff were friendly and very informative. Recommended.
Exhilarating, energetic and excellent, the white water rafting at Bala was suitable for a party of first-timers and people with some previous experience. The busy facilities were well organised, with friendly staff on hand to help out. The equipment was in good condition adding to feeling of professionalism. The day consisted of a briefing on safety, equipment and what to expect, followed by the allocation of wetsuit, boots, helmet and paddle. We were soon whisked up to the top of the run by minibus and after a short dry-land practice were shooting headlong down the rapids on the first of four runs. Afterwards, exhausted but exhilarated we headed into lovely hot showers, had a great cup of tea at the cafe and laughed at the brilliant professional photos. Special mention goes to the raft guide, who made the day special by playing tricks on us, building team spirit by encouraging rivalry with another raft and chatting to us between runs. All in all a highly recommended experience.
An Ambition Realised At 60
Reaching 60 and still having unfulfilled ambitions, my children treated me to this white water rafting experience. Something I had always wanted to do but never got around to. The white water rafting was amazing and such an experience. The venue was very well run, very professional which added to the experience. I would love to do it again and would encourage anyone to do it - you are never too old to have a go.
Just As Wet As A Bath But A Lot More Fun!
The venue was fantastic, with friendly and helpful staff who obviously enjoyed their job. The viewing area was great and allowed family and friends to grab a coffee and wait for us to come around again. Got absolutely drenched every run! 4 in total so well worth the money. It may look like the people at the front are the most likely to get chucked into the water but it's surprisingly not that hard to stay in the raft. The front is by bar the most fun so I highly recommend aiming for one of those seats!
My sister gave me this experience for my 60th birthday (a slip i made one day saying how I had always fancied doing it) so I couldn't back out seeing she had gone to so much trouble arranging it! After sleepless nights building up to it the day arrived, butterflies in the stomach, the first step to overcome was putting on the wet suit, but having been a member of Weight Watchers most of my adult life, to be given a size small was a plus. With everyone looking really elegant we set off, safty checks done, all four runs went to plan and it was fantastic, I felt so proud of myself. The only downside - the next day evey muscle in my body ached! Have I forgiven my sister? Course I have. Would I do it again? You bet your life I would!
Brilliant day out. The staff at Canolfan Tryweryn were first class. Rhi, our instructor, was very experienced and knowledgable, giving us a 100% feeling of confidence.
I'll Be Back For More.....
I was nervous and apprehensive before, but as soon as we got in the water all those feelings went!! It was great, total confidence in our instructor and believe it or not falling out of the raft was one of the best bits!! I will definitely be visiting again. Glad I didn't chicken out!
Fun, Wet And Wild, Perfect For Adrenaline Junkies!
I bought this Red Letter Day for my boyfriend who loves anything active and wild! We both had a fantastic day and didn't want it to end, we're already looking into going again soon! Highly recommended!
Excellent, Laughed All The Way
An exciting, exhilarating experience. Brilliant staff and met a raft full of fun people. Definitely going back next spring.
It was cold, got absolutely soaked but had a great time! Safety and instruction was of great importance so when we went down the course we felt confident.
Most Fun You Can Have Getting Soaked In Cold Water
I was given this as a 40th birtday present by my work colleagues (I think they were hoping I would drown). When I told my husband he wanted to come as well, so I booked him on the same day as myself. We got there far too early (I never was very good at planning routes!) but the cafe was open and breakfast was being served! All the staff at the centre were friendly and helpful. Our actual guide was brilliant. We managed to get 4 runs down the river and every one was different and more fun than the last. We had various splashing and ramming fights with the other raft on our runs and I think we came out on top. Overall had an absolutely brilliant day and I'm already planning what I can do next!
Wicked day, fantastic instructor, great weather and absolutely brilliant! I'd recommend it to anyone of any age or gender ... off to book the next one!!
Fantastic Day For Dad And Son
We thought it would be just a trickle of water but how wrong we were! It was totally brilliant, got soaked, brilliant rapids, totally safe, instructor was brilliant, had 4 runs down river, would 100% reccomend to everyone. Thanks for a truly memorable day.
It was a great experience. The whole thing was really well organised and the staff were very encouraging and made it more enjoyable.
Want to feel alive? Choose white water rafting. My mum booked this treat for Dad and me, I'm 14 and Dad is 48. Dad was a bit scared, although he didn't let on. After our first run down the rapids we both wanted to go again and again. Our coach was amazing - so cool. Can't wait to go again and neither can Dad. Thanks Red Letter Days and thanks Mum.
Great Fun & Was Both Very Wild + Wet
Experts give good info and try to make sure you get as much time on the river as possible.
Great Facilities, A Haven From The City
I had a great day, friendly and helpful staff made me feel welcome. I thought it would be a little run down shack somewhere, but when I got there it was FAB, the facilities were clean and very well kept. The instructors just brilliant ,they are a credit to sport. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere it is a tidy little haven to get away from it all and forget the city.
Be Careful What You Wish For!
I am a great one for saying 'You're never too old to try something new'. I also just happened to mention to a very good friend that I had always wanted to go white water rafting. Imagine my surprise when she presented me with this Red Letter Day on my 50th birthday. What can I say? What an experience! It was absolutely fantastic! I haven't had so much fun in ages. The memories will stay with me forever. And what's more I'm right, you are never too old to try something new!
Well run experience in nice surroundings with professional well equipped organisation.
We had a absolutely awesome time.
My husband and son had a wonderful experience full of fun and excitement and have recommended it to our family and friends.
My partner and our son had a great day white water rafting. The people were very helpful and nothing was any problem .. the water was very cold but they soon got used to that after they were tipped in a few times! Thanks for a great experience!
Had a brill time and one I will never forget. This was my 53rd birthday gift from my husband. I was nervous at the briefing but once out on the water it was exciting from start to finish. Our instructor was superb and made it a lot of fun. The only time I panicked was when I fell out ... soon came to the surface though ready to get in and carry on.
