Best for families wanting guided coasteering, kayaking and gorge walking around Anglesey, Llyn Padarn and Snowdonia, with safety and kit sorted for mixed ages and abilities.
๐ Funzaroo Verdict
The real draw is guides who read a group, so the nervous edge into sea caves while the bold take higher cliffs, and three generations scramble a gorge at their own pace. Wetsuits, buoyancy vests and photos are handled, leaving families to soak up the scenery. Worth weighing: activities spread across sites, so confirm the meeting point.

โGreat location. Well kitted out accomodation that is ideal for big group events. We went for a stag weekend using the venue as a hub for different activities (mountain biking, zipworld caverns, a meal in the local pub and a curry at the local curry house). This stay was booked through AirB&B Because of reasons of their listing policy, I struggled to locate the place, I think the person that made the booking got clearer information. Not that it matters I called David the owner and he directed me to the address. He showed me round and made sure I was sorted for the arrival of the rest of the party. The rooms all have bunk beds but there was capacity for us all to have a bottom bunk each. Which I appreciated at my age ๐คฃ. The rooms were spotlessly clean. The shower room had a number of separate toilet/shower areas. This really helped with the quick turnaround needed between activities and getting to the curry house. The kitchen was equipped with professional equipment capable of cooking for large groups. The dining area has capacity for many, sat across a number of large tables. There was courses being run on the site so the parking was busy but we always managed to park and the location felt safe to leave our stuff out in the house. When it came to time to leave my car had other ideas. Luckily David was in at the office. Without his help I would have been stuck waiting for the AA. I am immensely grateful for his help. I will be looking to return in the summer with a different group of us to climb Snowdon and return to zipworld. The location is ideal the rooms are spot on and the owner is an awesome host.โ

โThank you so much to Boulder Adventures for my amazing birthday coasteering experience on Anglesey. Jane made us feel totally safe and explained everything beforehand and during the activity and was full of energy and fun. We had a mixed group of different ages and confidence. Everybody had a great time. I am a wuss so washing into the caves on the waves, bobbing around with a great view of the beautiful coastline and jumping off rocks a couple of feet high was enough excitement for me, for the more adventurous of us, there were bigger jumps off higher cliffs. Jane also had a waterproof camera and sent us some wonderful photos to remember the day. The whole experience was amazing and I would thoroughly recommend coasteering with Boulder adventure as a really fun and different thing to do for a special celebration or birthday.โ

โI recently booked a kayaking session with Boulder Adventures on Llyn Padarn near Llanberis, and I had an absolutely wonderful time. The booking process was smooth and easy - I emailed to check availability and made payment ahead of time. On the day of our booking, we arrived at the Padarn Water Sports Centre 15 minutes early as recommended. The staff were friendly and efficient, fitting us with life jackets, wetsuits and providing a thorough safety briefing before we headed out onto the lake. The single and double kayaks provided were top quality and easy to maneuver. The stunning scenery surrounding Llyn Padarn was breathtaking and made for a peaceful and scenic paddling session. We had so much fun out on the water for nearly 3 hours, but still felt safe thanks to the safety equipment and instructions. The changing facilities and storage options back at the center were clean and tidy. Overall, our kayaking experience with Boulder Adventures exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend them for adventure seekers of any age looking to enjoy the beauty of Snowdonia from a new vantage point on the water. The staff, equipment, locations and entire experience was absolutely first-rate. We can't wait to go back!โ
