The Whitewater Rafting Taster Session
This is an opportunity for individuals or groups of less than four people to experience the thrill of whitewater rafting on the Tryweryn! Though we still need a minimum of four participants for this session to go ahead, we will do our upmost to put people together to fill a raft.In this session you will do two runs down the river in our 14 foot inflatable rafts, with the session lasting just over an hour in total.
Before you brave the water you will meet your guide for the trip who will give the group a full safety and instruction brief. Following this you will be kitted out in wetsuits (these can be hired from reception on the day; or paid for when you book; or, if you have your own and it is long legged and suitable for the activity bring it along!), buoyancy aids, waterproof jackets, wetsuit boots and helmets. Then, a minibus will take you up to the start point where you will commence your first descent down the rapids.
Once you arrive at the end of your first run down, you will be transported once again to the top of the course where your second run awaits, as you become more confident in the raft the session may throw a few surprises your way, with the unpredictable nature of the river, and a cheeky guide on the back who knows what can happen?!
Remember to smile for the camera on the way down!
Each run down the river lasts approximately 20 minutes, and the rafting course is around 2km in length. It is a steep, rocky course and the river is classed as a grade 3/4. (This is a worldwide accepted rating that grades the technical difficulty of rapids on a river. Grade 1 is gentle flowing water, and grade 6 is considered commercially un-runnable).
The Taster session runs every hour and a half both midweek and weekends.
The cost is £32.00 per person. Wetsuits can be hired for £2.00 per person.
