Snowdonia Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Awesome experience, was lots of fun with our friends. Our guides were knowledgable and informative. We felt safe whilst experiencing the water rapids in Bala.

We loved rafting! A few of the group were really nervous but our guide Reece was fun and friendly and made us all feel safe. All I wanted was for the run to be longer and faster and even more adventurous, its cool we got to go 3 times - the water is amazing! I want to go back for a kayaking trip and try that. Thanks so much for an awesome day!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic day canyoning with Sol!We had an absolutely brilliant day going extreme canyoning in Llanberis, North Wales. Sol was a fantastic guide — really friendly, knowledgeable and great fun to be around.We got to experience a great variety of slides, chutes, jumps and natural pools, with plenty of adrenaline along the way. Sol made the whole experience feel exciting but also safe and well organised.The scenery through the gorge was amazing, and the whole day was just great fun from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend Going Extreme Canyoning to anyone looking for an exciting day out in North Wales.Thanks Sol, we’ll definitely be back!

Sol was a lovely guy, relaxed and happy to help us do whatever we wanted with the right gear. He was clearly very experienced and was a really friendly presence. He was also a natural encouraging teacher.

What a fantastic experience I had so much fun and sol was absolutely brilliant super knowledgeable super caring . I never felt afraid and even managed the big jump. There is a far amount of walking so u do need to be fittish. Honestly best thing ive done in Wales so far and ive done alot! U wont be dissappinted

Sam was the guide for our small group, what a lovely young man who really helped and supported me to achieve the summit. It was altogether an amazing experience and very enjoyable even though it was a tough hike for my 74 year old legs. I would definitely recommend it.

First time hiking solo and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was really well organised with clear and straightforward instructions and guidance from booking to the end. Tom our leader was brilliant, really knowledgeable but also so friendly, approachable and down to earth. He made everyone feel comfortable, was always happy to help and just made the whole day that much more enjoyable. You could tell he genuinely cared about everyone having a good experience. A really great guy and a credit to the team. The group was a good size with a good mix of people. Overall such a brilliant experience and definitely one I won’t forget. Would 100% recommend booking through Mountain Xperience

Me and 7 of my friends decided that climbing Snowdon in the middle of the night to watch the sunrise was the perfect way to raise money for charity. Half of us weren’t convinced we’d even make it halfway up, never mind reach the summit… how wrong we were! 😂We met our amazing guide, Hywyn, at the ridiculous time of 2:40am, and from the very beginning he was full of encouragement, positivity and reassurance. His knowledge of Snowdon, the mountain and the local area was incredible, and his stories and humour along the way were a welcome distraction whenever our legs were screaming at us to stop! 😂Hywyn was absolutely brilliant at judging our pace. He was patient and understanding, but also knew exactly when to keep us moving and not let us stop for too long. Because of this, we hit every milestone he had planned and, somehow, made it all the way to the summit in time for sunrise! 🌅Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans and decided to cover the summit in thick fog, so we couldn’t see a thing! You can’t book the weather… but you can book Hywyn! 😂We’d also been forecast a dry climb, which clearly didn’t happen! The rain came down, but Hywyn’s infectious, cheerful personality (and those very bright orange clothes!) kept us going when we really wanted to give up.Honestly, I genuinely don’t think we would have made it to the top without him. He was an absolute gem of a guy, an incredible guide and a huge part of what made this experience so special.We’re so proud of ourselves for completing such a huge challenge, and incredibly grateful to Hywyn for getting us there safely, keeping our spirits up and making the whole experience one we’ll never forget.If you’re thinking about climbing Snowdon, especially for a sunrise hike, I couldn’t recommend Hywyn enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you, Hywyn! 🧡🏔️🌅

Hywyn was amazing! You can't book the weather and you aren't guaranteed sun, but that it part of the joy of walking and enjoying the outdoors. What you can guarantee is some amazing stories, facts and a very supportive and helpful guide in Hywyn. We were able to glimpse a small bit of a sunrise and were hopeful for a cloud inversion. Alas we were unlucky as a group. Just means I'll be back to try again. Read the kit list and snap away with photos, it is beautiful

We had a great afternoon gorgeous scrambling. Zach was brilliant with everyone, reading our party well; a balance of encouragement, challenge and offering options at different levels. We had great fun in the best water park ever, the great outdoors!

Sol was an amazing guide!! Probably the best one for our family of 4 with 7 and 10 aged girls. Understood our capabilities directly and challenged each one of us. Would definitely recommend without any doubts!

If you fancy something different and adventurous then the extreme caving is perfect. From a short abseil into the caves then exploration underground (be prepared to get wet!) with alternative route options for the braver people, to climbing out of the caves, the whole experience is really good fun. Sol the guide meets you near the entrance, kits you up in suitable gear that's all clean. Sol is brilliant, very patient and encouraging for the more nervous of our party and knowledgeable about the caves themselves. We talked a couple of times beforehand and Sol made sure we knew what to expect. If we return to Wales we will definitely be doing other adventure activities with Sol. Highly recommend!

Brilliant morning. Sol was an excellent guide, friendly, reassuring and competent. Really enjoyed our morning, it was a challenge but felt a real achievement, particularly stepping over the edge. Sol took photos and sent them on, for many companies this is an additional cost.

We had an amazing time with Sol exploring a lead mine. Sol is very knowledgeable about the mine and its history, and ensured that we had a smooth and safe trip through the various levels of the mine, would definitely recommend 👍🏼

An exciting and challenging activity, with fantastic staff and great facilities. Nathan our instructor made sure that we were all kitted out properly and knew what we were doing. Clear instructions and really made the occasion entertaining and special. Great conditions, accessible and hugely enjoyable!

An awesome morning out with Nathan our guide who was brilliant and entertaining, definitely recommended
