Watersports Snowdonia Style

With its miles of stunning coastline, beautiful lakes and rivers, there is plenty of opportunity in North Wales to take part in some of the best water sports the UK has to offer. As Wales is celebrating its incredible waters this year with The Year Of The Sea, we thought we would introduce you as to what is available when it comes to Watersports Snowdonia Style…

CANYONING

As it involves working your way down natural river gorges/canyons, Snowdonia is a great place to try out canyoning. To get down the canyons, you will use a mix of walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling and swimming. It’s high adrenalin and not for the faint hearted, but one of the most fun watersports you can do here.

SURFING

Surf Snowdonia opened its doors in 2015. It’s the worlds first inland surf lagoon, generating guaranteed man-made waves for the perfect surfing conditions. For those looking to learn to surf, it’s a great place to master the basics and for those more experienced surfers, a great place to hone your skills. However, If spending time out on the open water is what you are looking for, then head to Hells Mouth in Abersoch on the Llyn Peninsula.
