Cardiff International White Water

Cardiff International White Water isn’t just somewhere to dip a paddle - it’s a full-blown hub of adrenaline, learning and unforgettable experiences. A recognised centre of excellence for training, the team delivers expertly run courses for all abilities, from the ever-popular Paddle School to Duke of Edinburgh Award programmes. Whether you’re after a confidence-boosting introduction or a full-on white water rafting experience, there’s something here that fits like a well-worn wetsuit.

If you’re seeking an activity that brings people together, white water rafting is one of the most sociable ways to get stuck in. The action doesn’t stop there either. Indoors, you’ll find a simulated surf machine with a rolling wave for thrilling bodyboarding sessions. If you prefer your adventures with a little altitude, get clipped in and take on the high ropes structure towering above the course - complete with the Burma Bridge, Monkey Swing, Barrel Crawl and a whoosh-inducing Zip Wire.

On the water, you’re spoilt for choice. Canoeing, kayaking in Cardiff, stand-up paddleboarding - including yoga sessions, hot dogging and more all add to the line-up, making the Cardiff International White Water Centre one of the most exciting places in the city for Cardiff Bay water sports enthusiasts of every level.
