Cardiff International White Water

First time attending this place and I'd definitely recommend to anyone. It isn't scary at all and the instructors are really good, professional and love a good day especially Zoe. She made our day a blast. Definitely went above and beyond to make it worth while. Hope she had a good time too. Everyone has said "they haven't had so much fun in a long time and really enjoyed it". This has come from a group of veterans who love a good challenge and adrenaline rush. Will definitely come again so be ready and pull all the stops out!😁 Facilities are good and just hope the van outside that provides a good coffee could do with more options for eating. We aren't all healthy eaters🤣 overall an amazing place and thank you!

What a great experience. Fantastic facility to learn how to paddle a raft. All self contained and with a real focus on fun and safety.  Rays- our instructor was very happy to give us the benefit of all his experience and use a considerable part of that to get us very wet. The sessions are a perfect length to avoid exhaustion. I would recommend for team building and all round fun

White water rafting has been on my bucket list for a few years. Always felt a bit nervous to book but getting roped in to a group booking at the last minute was the best thing that could have happened! An amazing experience that was exciting and fun. The team at CIWW organised Janice, an awesome female instructor who put us all at ease and boosted our confidence. I honestly never laughed so much. Thank you Janice and CIWW. You guys were amazing! #hijabigirlscan
