What Can I Expect
Ride the rapids of the Tryweryn when you go white water rafting at Bala! Book a private raft for yourselves, or book individual vouchers to raft at this picturesque spot in North Wales, with each craft holding up to six rafters.
Access to the River Tryweryn is super easy, as it’s right outside the door of the National White Water Centre in North Wales, which has been providing paddle sports since 1983. These vouchers give you two runs straight through the rapids at the top end of the river.
The River Tryweryn is quite unique. Upstream from Bala, there's the Llyn Celyn Dam. This is used to stock water in winter, so it can be released in regular quantities at regular times during the summer months.
All that means decent white water flows all year round on this stretch of the Tryweryn and that, in turn, means great white water rafting around Bala for much of the year too!
The sections you'll be rafting down have been graded as 3-4, with grade 1 waters being gently flowing and grade 6 being un-runnable. In essence you're in good, middle range standing here, when it comes to the force of the white water, for just the right amount of exhilaration for all levels of rafter.
To go rafting in Bala, you’ll be kitted out in all the right gear and an instructor will be at the back of the raft, helping to steer and getting you to all work together to negotiate that fast flowing water. Along your route there are plenty of drops and stoppers to keep you and your rafting comrades on your toes!
