Excellent Excellent day would love to do it again. The gorge was beautiful. The Instructor took us up some challenging areas (challenging for us). We had so much fun got a history lesson out of it as well would highly recommend it to absolutely everybody.

It was an amazing adventure! We did the half day gorge adventure trip and it was a great experience. The guides were friendly and fun, and the environment was stunning. The guides took photo’s and video’s from everyone and shared them with us, so that we could enjoy it afterwards. I would really recommend taking the trip with them!

My 11yr old Son and I had an amazing day climbing outside with Black Mountain Adventure. We have both climbed quite a lot but only on indoor climbing walls. Jake took our experience in to account and varied the routes to ensure we were challenged but not defeated. We both had a great time, learned a lot and hope to come back again. Thanks

Instructors were incredible for both the caving and the gorge walking. We felt safe under their instruction whilst still pushing everyone to the edge of their comfort zone. The experience was truly amazing. The year 10 students from our school loved it, and haven't stopped talking about it since. Will 100% use Black Mountain Adventure again.

Gorge walking Our instructor Ali was brilliant and under his guidance we all had a fantastic full day gorge walking. He was knowledgeable, friendly and great fun, whilst also putting us at ease and ensuring the safety of all. In particular, Ali built a great rapport with our 2 teenage boys and this made the whole experience even better! Thank you Ali.

We spent an excellent morning doing archery at Black Mountain Adventure. The instructor was very friendly, professional and gave us good tips to perfect our aim. He also made us feel comfortable which helped us a lot to enjoy the activity. Would highly recommend!

This 3 hour route is not suitable for novices kayaking or canoeing. We went out as a group of 8. 5 out of 3 were thrown from kayaks/ canoes and received cuts and bruises/ lost our shoes and other items. Waterproof bags not very waterproof. The guide who picked us up at the end was very rude. Only reason they have 2 stars was the other staff who came to our rescue although had to be wait over an hour on the riverbank were nice at start. Another kayaking company were very helpful to us in the river. One out of 8 is a sea kayaker and we only offered 1 hour on a canal which we couldn't attend. The company were very aware that 7 were novices at kayaking and did not at anytime warn of the dangers upon our arrival and questions about going out on our own.

Hi Michelle, we are very sorry to hear about your experience. Safety is paramount to us here at Black Mountain Adventure and we take your concerns very seriously. We would like to assure you that we do try to ensure our canoe hire trips are run as safely as possible adhering to strict operating policies, however, given the environment and nature of the trip there is always an element of unforseen risk on the river. Therefore, with this in mind we do try our best to outline on our website, on our waiver forms and where possible, that experience is required in order to take part in our canoe hire. We also try to provide as much information as possible about the trip along with advice on suitable clothing & footwear for the activity prior to arrival. For individuals who do not have suitable paddling experience for the river, then either a guided trip or our alternative route on the Brecon canal would have otherwise been advised, and i believe this was initially offered prior to booking before understanding that your group were experienced sea kayakers. We are sorry about the issues you had whilst on the water and for the time it took for our instructor to reach you with replacement equipment for the items that had been lost, before he continued to guide you downstream to the landing point. Although we try to get on the water as quickly as possible, with there being very few access/egress points along the river this does present restrictions. However, we are pleased to hear one of our fellow local operators was able to provide a little assistance during that time as we do all try to work as cohesively together as possible. With regards to the dry bags hired, these are new into rotation and we were unaware of this on the day but these have been removed for inspection for any faults, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. We value your concerns and will be taking these in to consideration to see where we can make improvements to our future canoe hire sessions.

Stag in the water Stag do did gorge walking yesterday was an absolutely amazing experience and perfect for the stag. We were able to talk, spend time close together (too close at times) and apply some healthy peer pressure ;) the guides were knowledgable and great fun, wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Date of experience: 08 June, 2024
