About this tour
Scramble through one of Snowdonia's lesser-known gorges over three hours, navigating a verdant ravine via pools, boulders and cascades. This Welsh canyoning introduction suits families and mixed-ability groups equally well, offering genuine challenge without extreme commitment. You'll climb waterfalls, duck under rock formations and swim through natural basins—a proper taste of what the sport demands without the big jumps or abseils.
Highlights
- Swim, climb and traverse a real Welsh gorge
- Navigate pools, boulders and small waterfalls

What to expect
You'll start geared up in wetsuit, helmet and harness, then enter the gorge proper. Progress involves working your way up and downstream, sometimes wading, sometimes scrambling, occasionally swimming short distances between obstacles. Expect to duck under overhanging rock, climb slippery scrambles beside falls and pull yourself out of deep pools. The guide will show you the safest lines and explain techniques as you go. Sections demand concentration and a willingness to get wet, but nothing here demands technical rope skills or prior experience. The whole venture takes around three hours from start to finish.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential—this isn't a casual walk. Not suitable if pregnant. Under-18s must have a parent or guardian present. Wetsuits (optional but recommended), socks and buoyancy aids all provided. Bring a change of clothes and towel. Photography included free.
