Cardiff International White Water

Great team that hosted our stag do last weekend. We weren’t really sure what’s to expect but it certainly cured our hangovers.

The staff are good very but also very professional.

Would highly recommend if you’re looking for something fun to do in the day time

My son attended with his rugby club for an activity day. They opted for the dingy ride, and spent most of the morning going around the track or horsing around in the waters at the bottom of the run. Needless to say, they exited having had oodles of fun. It is a fantastically clever bit of entertainment, but is also fairly steep cost wise. Not your pop out on a weekend event unless you're a millionaire.

It was however worth the occasional splurge for the kids. I definitely would go again, and they absolutely loved it.

My one complaint, the cafe has been closed. I don't know if that is permanent, but I was informed it wasn't open with no airing to a possible resolution.

Fabulous time at the centre with the stag party. Our boat leader, Carl(?) was super, he made it a really fun experience for our whole party and would highly recommend this venue and event. The lady on reception had a great sense of humour and very welcoming and engaging with our large party. Thank you to the staff who made this a great day out for us all.

Came as part of a birthday party rafting event my son was attending.
Good safety briefing, equipment was supplied although wetsuit sizing for kids was hit and miss.
Boys had a fabulous time. Excellent day and we will return!

We popped in on our weekend trip to Wales and went rafting with the amazing instructor Rhys - he was amazing! So helpful, funny and kept calm when us girls managed to flip the boat. I would 100% recommend doing this whether you have experience or not! Shout out to our boy Rhys, he really made the experience 5 star!!

Brilliant course with a lot more than just the outdoor white water section.

Last month, a group of 5 of us went to Whitewater Rafting for the 2 hour stand up paddleboarding. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and has drawn me to love the sport of SUPing (Stand Up Paddleboarding), which my friends and I all agreed became “addictive” after this session.

The instructor we had was incredibly friendly and especially patient. He gave us the right amount of freedom in the large pool to the side of the building, but at the same time was more than happy to help anyone who was struggling without judgment or criticism and made frequent offers to do so.

The sport itself was initially like trying to get a pig to fly, however after the first hour it become a lot easier and most of the session group was able to stand up on their boards, even if they fell off shortly after.

In my opinion, I definitely recommend this to anyone who is confident and comfortable with and loves the water because the upper end was relatively deep (a 5'3 person stood no chance of touching the floor!) but the whole experience is something I’m so, so glad I did, despite the nerves felt, and am definitely going to continue. For anyone who is looking to get into water sports, it also seems a good stepping stone for aspiring surfers as it familiarises you with the feeling of being on a board and the necessary balance which I most definitely lack right now 😆 Don’t hesitate to SUP with Whitewater Rafting!

Great experience doing the white water rafting. Surprising how much of a workout you get paddling around. The drops were great and our guide/coxswain "Dan" was very approachable and friendly. His skill in getting the most out of the course, getting everyone soaked was brilliant. Top attraction
