Cardiff International White Water

Booked this for my partner as a valentine gift and what can I say other than it was a fantastic experience with lots of Laughter, Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Ian the captain of our raft was brilliant fun and shared some interesting facts about the facility.  I would highly recommend I can’t wait to book again.

Lloyd was absolutely fantastic with our group (stag party) - genuinely funny guy, and clearly knew what he was doing, hugely professional. I’m not normally one for outdoorsy things like this (I like sitting at home listening to Beethoven and thinking about communism) but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and would absolutely go again. 11/10.

Great experience, I struggle with mobility and movement but still found this accessible and great fun. Instruction was clear and they provided good opportunities in the boat for fun moment's on the water. Highly recommend
