Best for families and groups wanting white water rafting or indoor wave surfing in Cardiff Bay, with activities suited to ages 6 and up.

πŸ† Funzaroo Verdict

The draw is guides who read a group well enough to thrill a 7-year-old and reassure an anxious adult in the same raft, keeping things exciting without tipping into frightening. Groups spanning childhood to old age report everyone joining in, so it suits mixed-age outings. Worth booking ahead, and on-site food is limited.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Book ahead, especially for groups
⏰Suitable for nervous first-timers, so do not be put off by the nerves
🎟️Children as young as 7 can take part in rafting with a guide
πŸš—Ask about the indoor surf sessions as an alternative to rafting

β€œFirst time attending this place and I'd definitely recommend to anyone. It isn't scary at all and the instructors are really good, professional and love a good day especially Zoe. She made our day a blast. Definitely went above and beyond to make it worth while. Hope she had a good time too. Everyone has said "they haven't had so much fun in a long time and really enjoyed it". This has come from a group of veterans who love a good challenge and adrenaline rush. Will definitely come again so be ready and pull all the stops out!😁 Facilities are good and just hope the van outside that provides a good coffee could do with more options for eating. We aren't all healthy eaters🀣 overall an amazing place and thank you!”

β€œWhite water rafting has been on my bucket list for a few years. Always felt a bit nervous to book but getting roped in to a group booking at the last minute was the best thing that could have happened! An amazing experience that was exciting and fun. The team at CIWW organised Janice, an awesome female instructor who put us all at ease and boosted our confidence. I honestly never laughed so much. Thank you Janice and CIWW. You guys were amazing! #hijabigirlscan”

β€œAbsolutely fantastic experience of family whote water rafting. Our group consisted of ages 10-80 year olds and all 6 of us had a fantastic time. Lots of laughter and memories made. Already planning a trip back to try a new adventure. Our raft guide Oisin was simple excellent and outstanding. Enabled all of us to enjoy ourselves and have a great time with our differing abilities and experience”
