The adventure is based at Llangollen, in Snowdonia National Park. You will meet your guide in Llangollen, then explore the national park, as well as heading to the incredible island of Anglesey for some coastal adventures.
For arrival, it’s easiest to drive due to the rural location. Car parking will be provided.
Directions and your exact meeting point will be specified on your booking voucher.
I echo the other reviews: the tours are fantastic and Claire soon became a friend by the end of the trip! She's a brilliant host and guide. We tried SUP, hiking, canoeing and foraging - the itinerary was brilliantly crafted but flexible too. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see the best of Wales and experience the great outdoors.
Fantastic experience from day one! Perfect planning and always a backup-plan for bad weather. The best guides gave us the best time in Wales!
We don’t believe in charging people more for exploring our world solo, so we’ll always match you up with a likeminded traveler to share with. Your room in Beaumaris will be on a twin basis and in Llangollen you’ll be in either a multi-bed or twin room. The bell tents for wild camping each sleep up to 6 max. If you would prefer your own room we can usually accommodate that, though an extra charge would apply – simply select the appropriate option when you book your adventure tour online.

- Towel – to dry off after the water activities
