We went for the rubber ring rapids experience, excellent fun. Some of the staff were a little unprofessional but we still had great fun car parking next to venue is free, which was a bonus.

Really good value for what you get. The conveyor belt back to the top saves so much faff. The rafts are probably the only downside as a kayaker.

Took the family to the centre for indoor wave experience. Excellent service throughout and special thanks to Kat, our instructor, who provided brilliant tips and advice. Learning curve to ride the indoor wave on a body board was quick and we were doing tricks and flips in no time.

I did an introduction to stand-up paddleboarding with instructor Nick, and had a fantastic time. Great facilities, friendly staff, would recommend if you're looking for a fun activity to try, even when the weather's not ideal

Brilliant course with a lot more than just the outdoor white water section. Located in the heart of the International Sports Village in Cardiff, CIWW is home to the UK’s very first on-demand Olympic standard White Water Rafting and Indoor Wave facility. Offering white water and flat water fun for all, Cardiff International White Water the perfect place to take up a challenge, seek adventure or simply indulge in pure excitement. Whether you choose to stay on-site, or feed your need for adrenaline with one of our popular off-site activities such as Gorge Walking, we can guarantee you an unforgettable day out.

We did the family white water rafting on 09/08. I cannot recommend this experience enough. We are a family of 5, unfortunately my little sister fell ill suddenly so wasn't able to participate, the receptionist we spoke to was very helpful. She gave us a refund voucher for my step dad and little sister to use for another time which we were very grateful for and were not expecting. I'm sorry we didn't get her name. Our instructor Henry was informative and funny. We had to share a boat with another family and he did well to help us gel together. We are definitely going to do this again.

Very fun day here for my birthday This place is even fun on a rainy day The instructor was lovely and fun.. chatty and funny too. Reasonable prices Extremely fun Lovely waiting area and viewing from upstairs cafe. Only critic I can make is the changing rooms absolutely STINK of urine The wet suits are wet and smelly.. ripped in areas too but okay for a one off I guess The shoes are smelly too. Full of water. Not very nice to wear but shut up and put up cause that's all soon forgotten when you head out onto your raft. Changing rooms do need a good Bleach and disinfectant 3 times a day though Would also be good if there were cameras placed around the course that took images just like theme parks do.. and then a room you could go in to hunt down your pictures select them to print off.. that would be a really good idea as many would pay for that if not you need someone who isnt participating to take some shots of you doing it and it's pretty boring for that person. In all we all thoroughly enjoyed every second it was a laugh and can't wait to come again even with the smelly changing rooms lol
