Our favourite activity of the week, ranging from 9yrs old to 50 yrs young and some feeling more intrepid than others we made our way up the Gorge with guidance and support from Dom and Saul. It was so professional and yet fun at the same time, they thought if everything and made is feel really unique. Really can't rate this experience highly enough, we are already trying to plan a return visit!

My son (13) and I went gorge scrambling with Sol and Meg and had the best time. It really was the highlight of our trip to Snowdonia! We were complete beginners but Meg and Sol made us feel really confident and safe. We started out a little nervously but after a short time we were sliding down rocks, jumping into gorges and climbing waterfalls. It was really great! All the kit was provided and was top notch with nice new, thick and warm wetsuits (very much required!). Will definitely go again when in the area. It was a really great bonding experience for my son and I!

My family, (including 14yo boy and 8yo girl) and I spent the morning gorge walking with Sol and we absolutely loved it. He is super communicative and helpful, even from the first enquiry we made, and this carried on through up until the activity had finished.

I would highly recommend the activity and Adventure activities Wales for any family day out.

Had an excellent afternoon gorge scrambling in beautiful surroundings with Dom, who was a terrific guide: very personable, lots of knowledge of the area and always keeping an eye on us to make sure we managed ok, especially with the trickier bits. It was a great experience ! (Just make sure you take a big towel for getting changed in the secluded car park afterwards and appropriate footwear as they suggest on the website. All rest of the kit was provided and excellent). Definitely recommended. :)

Sol was amazing. We went the day after Storm Babet so he gave us a choice of a tamer gorge. We chose that and glad we did. Sol gave us a good safety brief, had all the correct equipment and was really good with our 8 year old. There was fun and history along the way. And of course, cake and drinks at the end. Finally, Sol took videos and photos along the way and sent these all to us at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend.

This was a fantastic end to our trip to Wales. We had never done anything like this before and we were all a bit nervous, especially my 12 year old daughter but Dom put us all at ease and was very patient and we all absolutely loved it, all having a go at the jumps and slides. I was most worried about being cold but once you got in the wetsuits did their job brilliantly. I will definitely be doing something like this again.

Had a fantastic trip with Sol, who was mega patient with some of us slow coaches 😂 My kids loved the Gorge scrambling and were sad to turn around to go home.

We had an amazing half day with Sol, scrambling up a river and a breathtaking series of waterfalls. He was very clear about what to do and the course never felt unmanageable though there were the odd tricky bits to scramble over - and he was always ready with a helping hand or foot wedge to give you some leverage. We really like his mix of enthusiasm and chill and are already planning another adventure with him since you can’t beat a mix of thrils, spills and laughs.

We had the most amazing day Gorge scrambling with Sol. What an amazing experience!! Lots of fun and great memories made in 3+ hours. Sol was very patient with us - allowing us to take our time taking in the gorgeous scenery, pointing out potential hazards. It’s an all immersive experience -sounds of the waterfalls, smelling the fresh air, tasting wood sorrel and spring water, and obviously touching all the rocks as you climb up. Genuinely one of the best things I’ve done and I totally recommend Adventure Activities and will be returning to try out their other activities. Last but not least, Sol offered us drinks & lovely lemon drizzle cake at the end - this and being able to change into some dry clothes at the back of his van, are examples of a person who goes above and beyond to make sure he provides top quality experience.

Wow! What a fabulous morning with Sol Gorge scrambling. The children (aged 8 and 11) have declared it the ‘best thing ever!’. The professional and relaxed guidance from Sol was perfect. He gaged exactly how adventurous to pitch the activity and it was amazing from start to jumps to scrambles to lemon cake, skittles and drinks at the end! We will definitely book again next time we are in the area and recommend the trip to all families interested in a great time out in Wales! Thank you so much. #makingmemories
