WHITE WATER RAFTING
Here at Black Mountain Activities, our White Water Rafting sessions take place on the upper reaches of the River Wye in South Wales, and is run during the Winter months from the beginning of October through to the end of March.
For your White Water Rafting experience day you will be equipped with a wet-suit, buoyancy aid and helmet and transported to the starting point on the river where the fun will begin!
Our experienced raft guides will guide you down river, preparing you to skillfully tackle some of Mid Wales’ most demanding natural white water sections. During the course of your White Water Rafting trip you will encountering several grade 2-4 rapids, stoppers and boilers including the infamous rapid “Hell Hole!”. We run two raft types, Micro-rafts (2-3 seater) and the Traditional rafts (6-8 seater), the raft type will be determined on the day of your session depending on the river levels, conditions and group size.
White water rafting in Wales is an ideal way to experience the excitement of moving white water, an absolute must for those who enjoy getting wet and love white-knuckle rides.
