Q: Why is Wales a great place for a UK activity holiday? A: Over 750 miles of coastline & 2 of the UK’s highest peaks.

Wales is fortunate to have a landscape and coastline that’s perfect for outdoor activities and adventure, making it an ideal choice for a UK activity holiday. 



Rule the waves on a water sports holidays

If you love water sports, come and catch a wave on the magnificent Welsh coastline and our award winning beaches. Wales’ coastline is perfect for water sports lovers, with a wealth of activity operators providing sea kayaking, surfing, wind surfing and kitesurfing courses.

Sea Kayaking

This is the perfect way to discover the Welsh coastline. It’s all about exploration and negotiating the seas, swells and ocen waves.

Coasteering

For those unfamiliar with the term, coasteering in essence is working your way round a coastline at sea level in whatever way is possible.

Windsurfing

Blasting across the surf of the beautiful Welsh coastline at 30 knots might sound too much to achieve in one holiday – but it’s within most people’s grasp.

Surfing

The speed and power are addictive, and the thrill can last a lifetime. For beginners and  pros, some of the UK’s best spots are here in Wales. 

Underground activities

Wales is famous for its natural beauty, defined by the rugged mountainous areas of Mid Wales, the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia National Park and stretching coastal plains.

However, below the surface, hidden from sight, is something equally spectacular. For millions of years, rocks have been laid down, distorted and eroded, creating a world of stark beauty only found deep underground. Wales’ rich geographical history has resulted in magnificent rock formations just waiting to be explored.

There are caves in Wales suitable for all abilities. However, most of the caves are of a horizontal nature so do not need vertical skills. This makes them ideal for those just starting out. Find out more about caving in Wales or explore one of Wales’ underground attractions.

Fulfill a dream and gallop along a beach

Terrain to challenge the experienced rider. And friendly instruction for the sort of people who wonder how a horse can possibly have 14 hands.

If you have your own mount, bring it along. There are lots of farms and stables that do horsy B&B. Gallop along the shore of the Menai Strait, trek through the Brecon Beacons or explore the equestrian trails of the Ceiriog Valley, which David Lloyd George called ‘a little piece of heaven on earth’.
