Unlock the spirit of adventure

For those who prefer to take life a more leisurely pace, notice their surroundings and live in the moment, CIWW offer an array of low octane activities suitable for all the family.

It doesn’t matter if you're a total novice or seasoned runner, CIWW is the ideal place to develop your paddle skills, whether it's on the sheltered flat water or the whitewater course.

Fancy exploring Cardiff from a new angle? Then take advantage of our on-site Bike Hire, and enjoy the stunning views and landmark attractions along the Cardiff Bay Trail. Come rain or shine, our bikes are always on hand to ride away at a moment's notice. Our convenient on-site car park means you'll be taking in the sights on two wheels in no time!

For the ultimate family activity, jump aboard a Family Rafting Session. The level and speed of the water are lowered, ensuring taking to the rapids is a wonderful experience for kids (and big kids alike). Prepare to paddle hard and laugh harder!
