Cardiff International White Water

Went for white water rafting with a bunch of friends, Ian the instructor was great and made sure we had a fantastic time! Highly recommend

The Zero to Hero Kayaking course was excellent; just the right amount of time going into some of the deeper stuff, but also not making you cranky tired.

Note I wish I had planned for going in, the best way to actually get to hero is getting reps in, and they don't offer rentals beyond the course so you'll either need to invest in your own gear (they hire boats but that's it) or find somewhere else to go to actually level up

My son had a wonderful experience with the indoor wave - body and knee boarding surf at Cardiff International Pool. The coach was brilliant and my son thoroughly enjoyed his sessions. He was so thrilled that he has booked multiple sessions after his first one. It's not just fun, but also a great form of exercise. Recommended for both enjoyment and fitness!
