BETHANIA ADVENTURE WATERSPORTS

Are you looking for a great day out that’s suitable for the whole family?

Look no further than Bethania Adventure Watersports. Bethania Adventure provides canoeing, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing on Lake Vyrnwy, one of the most beautiful lakes in Wales and many other dry land activities that are suitable for the complete beginner and the more experienced individual. Bethania Adventure’s helpful and friendly staff are here to help you get the most out of your visit by providing a safe and fun environment.

Buoyancy aids are provided for all customers. Guest boats are allowed on the lake for a small launch fee. Boats will be checked for seaworthiness and they must be launched from the boathouse slipway strictly while the safety boat is on the water.

CANOEING AND KAYAKING
Enjoy the lake from one of our two or three seat Canadian canoes and with a quick briefing are easy enough to paddle. If you feel a bit more adventurous try one of our single seat kayaks where you can go out individually or with a group of friends. Tuition is also available as one-on-one or in a group of up to eight people per instructor.

SAILING
At Bethania Adventure we have a fleet of sailing dinghies ranging from a topper (single handed sailing) to family sailing in the wayfarer (up to five per boat). Sailing boats can be self sailed for the competent sailor or as a helmed boat for those that just want a sailing experience or would like to brush up on their skills.

WINDSURFING
The centre has a wide range of windsurf rigs and boards available for hire. These can be for the absolute beginner who wants a taster of this exhilarating sport or for the experienced sailor who wants to sail on this beautiful lake.

WETSUIT HIRE
If you decide to participate in a watersport that you may get very wet in (windsurfing, topper sailing, kayaking) you may wish to hire a wetsuit from the centre for a small fee.

FISHING AT LAKE VYRNWY HOTEL

Fly fishing on the Vyrnwy Reservoir

Lake Vyrnwy Hotel & Spa has the exclusive fishing rights over the 1,100 acres of the Vyrnwy reservoir. Fly fishing at Lake Vyrnwy started in 1818 after the lake was flooded and stocked with 40,000 Loch Leven brown trout. This reservoir is the world’s second oldest manmade trout fishery. The hotel holds a collection of stuffed trout, together with all the fishing registers since the lake opened, making this one of the most important collections of piscatorial ephemera in private hands. Today fishing is for wild brown and stocked brown and rainbow trout, ensuring good sport throughout the season. There are 10 boats on the lake, quietly powered by electric engines.
