White Water Tubing in West Wales

Our Tubing sessions consists of learning how to control a rubber ring whilst floating down fast-moving white water. This really is a popular activity as it requires no skill to bounce off rocks and float down the river uncontrollably. As you head through the Rapids you will realise how much fun it is to mix white water and tubes. As you head downstream you'll be laughing at your friends and family falling out and having a ball playing in the river features.

Lazy river tubing river West Wales

On a more tranquil section of the river Teifi we float down the river letting all the worries of the world float away as we drift in the river. We will bring some paddles to help splash your way along, and a pair of goggles to explore the river froma different perspective.

During both sessions, when we get to the turn around spot we walk back to the start location wearing the tubes as big sombreros

Shorts to go over your wetsuit, this helps to prolong the life of the wetsuits

How do we get back to our car

After tubing down through the rapids we walk back up the path to the start and run the trip a second time, time dependant of course but most of the time it is possible to get in two or more runs. Then we return to the start where we left the cars. This requires some effort to carry the tubes back up the track but we find the easiest way is to wear it like a sombrero.

Questions and answers

Can we do the Activity in the rain?

Yes - Tubing can be done in the rain.

What happens if the river levels get really high?

If we have a lot of rain and the river levels increase and we feel it would make the session not very good or unsafe we will change it to White water rafting so you can still have a great time out

Can we change our Activities?

Yes, you would just need to let us know in advance, and the more notice you give us the more flexible we can be.

Can I wear contact lenses or glasses?

Yes: people do wear contact lenses and say its ok but I don't where them so just go on others word. Glasses can be worn but its best to have a leash attached. If they fall off or get broken we can not be held responsible. If they are important to your driving think wisely before taking on session.

What group sizes can you accommodate?

Large and small groups can be accommodated please contact us for more information.

Do we need to be able to swim?

No it is unnecessary we provide you with enough floating kit that all you need to do is move your arms to move around

Do you have equipment to fit all sizes?

Yes - we have a wide range of sizes in all of our equipment. Before you head out on your activities our Instructors will ensure that all equipment fits correctly and they'll make any necessary changes.

What if I have a medical condition?

Our Instructors are trained to deal with different situations, so we can easily accommodate people with diabeties, asthma, mild epilepsy, autism and more. Please contact us if you have any questions. If you require a waterproof container to bring medication please let us know in advance.
