When you're stuck in the office on a hot day, sun blazing in through big windows, air thick and warm, you can be forgiven for dreaming of ways to cool down in nature and have some fun. 

So look no further than Canolfan Tryweryn, the National White Water Centre near Bala, North Wales. We offer the ultimate way to beat the heat and have an unforgettable adventure!

What makes rafting at Tryweryn so special on a scorching day? Well, for starters, the water you'll be playing in is as refreshing as it gets. Fed directly from the Llyn Celyn reservoir above us, the dam releases 9 cumecs of clean, clear Welsh mountain water that will instantly invigorate you from head to toe. 

To help you imagine a nine cumec release, picture the river swelling to more than three times its ordinary size in a matter of minutes. Only a dam-controlled river can offer this level of fun in dry weather conditions. This is simply the best adventure you can have on a hot day!

There's nothing quite like the thrill of navigating the rapids with the cool spray keeping you perfectly chilled. You'll be in the dappled light of the woodland canopy, sun glinting on the frothing whitewater, breathing in the freshness of the clean Welsh air. 

But the benefits of the Tryweryn don't stop at just a refreshing escape from the heat. You can also feel good knowing that your adrenaline-fuelled adventure is part of a bigger picture. The water that powers the Tryweryn's exhilarating rapids isn't wasted. When the weather is dry, these vital releases are used to top up the River Dee downstream of us. This management ensures that the river continues to flow, supporting the diverse array of wildlife and fish that depend on it. So, while you're having a blast, you're also contributing to the health of the local ecosystem.

Beyond the river itself, Canolfan Tryweryn is a haven for nature. Our centre is teeming with wildlife, wildflowers, moses, ferns and fascinating lichens. 

After you've conquered the rapids you are welcome to stay and enjoy picturesque picnic spots situated up and down the woodland by the side of the river where you are welcome to relax, refuel, and soak in the beauty of the Welsh countryside whist enjoying a delicious lunch.

There's also a woodland play area and a riverside café where spectators can enjoy watching the action, surrounded by nature's splendour.

So, when the temperatures rise, ditch the mundane and embrace an adventure that's both thrilling and refreshing. Come and experience the exhilaration of white water rafting at Canolfan Tryweryn. With our clean, clear mountain water and beautiful ancient woodland surroundings, it's the perfect way to cool down and create lasting memories. We can't wait to welcome you!
