Hike, SUP and Sauna in Snowdonia

Even in the wind and rain our guides made our trip fantastic. Firstly they moved us to an amazing hostel due to the high winds forecast. Then they found us an wonderful sheltered dip, swim and hike. The following day they taught me paddle boarding.

Weather was unseasonable but guides switched things around and we had a wonderful weekend - would highly recommend

I had the most fantastic weekend. A stunningly beautiful environment, great company and fantastic support. Scoob and Ryan were brilliant. I’m exhausted, but will never forget it. Do it - you won’t regret it.

A lovely weekend in Snowdonia with fantastic guides, beautiful scenery and a great bunch of people

What a view from our tent! Snowden in all its glory! Brilliant activities with fantastic instructors, unflappable and very helpful when your wetsuit gets stuck on your foot! Great bonding experience with friends and strangers who were our best buddies for the weekend! Campsite facilities a bit basic, but we survived!

We had such an amazing time on this trip. The whole team (Jim, Ash, Kat and Ryan) were exceptional. They really made the adventure so much fun, explained everything so clearly and encouraged you to try new things. The campsite was lovely and the views were stunning. I’m not a massive camping person so two nights is my maximum and this was great for me to switch off from my normal life and enjoy nature.

Sometimes you just have to challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone - you will feel a massive sense of achievement if you do. I certainly did on this weekend sleeping in a bell tent with 3 other like minded girls determined to enjoy the great outdoors to its full. The instructors Kat and Ryan were fabulous! Friendly, enthusiastic and so flexible to what the group wanted to achieve. The breakfasts and packed lunches were first class, delivered by Ash who transported us around, helped us to assemble our SUPs and spent the evening with us around the campfire, swapping funny stories about the days activities. Don't expect 5 star accommodation. This is down to earth wild camping with composting toilets and a tepid shower just off the breakfast table. 2 days without a shower never hurt anyone - especially when you’ve been swimming in a freezing cold lake. Bring more than one swimming cossie unless you want to put a wet one on for day 2. Also a couple of towels for the same reason. Dryrobes and your own wetsuit is a bonus. You won’t regret roughing it for a couple of days I promise you!

Very well organised trip as described.

This trip was my first with much better adventures and was alot of fun. The campsite was really off grid and I barely used my phone all weekend (a great sign!). There was a good mix of wild swimming for those who wanted to do more and the paddleboarding day accommodated people who wanted a longer or shorter time on the lake.

The campsite is stunning but it really lacks any comfort whatsoever. There are two toilets and only one shower. The tents are really just thin pieces of fabric and there is nowhere to dry or warm up. Not fun coming back after a day of rain and swimming and have nowhere to dry wet clothes or warm up at all. I find this way below par! I felt we did way less than what we could have done during a weekend. There were no plans whatsoever for the Friday eve and the Sunday we finished early. Sat eve we got back early and there wasn’t much to do rather than go to bed early. I felt really underwhelmed by the whole experience and disappointed, especially considering the cost.

This was just what I needed! As a mum-of-three, this trip was a chance to take some time back for me and recharge, as well as discovering new things about myself. The camp was beautifully remote and picturesque, and our host Jim looked after us really well. His energy and enthusiasm for adventure really captivated me.

The group consisted of like-minded and laidback people and I enjoyed listening to their life experiences whilst sitting around the chimenea watching the sun set. We had a super paddle board instructor called James who took us on a journey around a lake and taught us some new skills. I pushed myself on this outing, completing 4 miles on my paddle board, something I didn't know I was capable of. I felt really proud.

I also informed our lively swimming instructor El that I'd like to push myself swimming, getting my head in the water and doing some front crawl, as I hadn't done it for five years. She accompanied me into the centre of the lake and helped me make this happen. She was amazingly supportive and I felt super proud afterwards.

The great thing about this trip is everyone could do whatever they were comfortable with. I wanted to swim some distance on that day, but others were able to bob around enjoying the water in their own way. Some chose to paddle board instead. We were all given the space to be ourselves which was really lovely. It was a pretty flexible trip with no set expectations. Really chilled in the evenings too. Some people went to bed with a book whilst some had a chat looking at the spectacular mountain view.

If you're nervous about setting off on an adventure on your own, I would encourage you to push through that and join this trip. Most of the guests were solo travellers, so there is a sense of all being in the same boat. It was really liberating for me to put my needs first over those two days whilst having the company of people from all walks of life who inspired me with their stories.

Do it!

Fabulous trip in beautiful Snowdonia with Sue and her brilliant team at Adventurous Ewe. Wales was looking its moody best for us. Climbing up the mountains and swimming in the waterfalls and pools - 12 deg C ;-) - on the way back down was ace. Highly recommend.

A lovely way to meet new people in a relaxed environment in a beautiful setting.

Fantastic weekend! North Wales is so ruggedly beautiful and this trip was a great way to experience it in a different way. Jim and Suze looked after us so well and James and Kat were brilliant. I was really unsure about the cold water but Kat coached us through it and even made it fun. As always with MBA I got to meet a great bunch of people that I would never have had the pleasure to spend a weekend with any other way.

The campsite was picturesque, and the weather was kind to us but not sure camping is for me but you don't need to be too intrepid for a couple of nights.

Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing, I want to do it lol over again! Hosts, guides, location & facilities all spot on. Haven’t had so much fun and felt so relaxed in years! Don’t hesitate, just book it

Amazing weekend! Our instructor was fantastic and tailored the weekend perfectly to suit all our needs (even including getting the football in at the local pub after paddle boarding!). Our campsite was amazing and we managed to get the northern lights overlooking the mountains. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants some real local knowledge, a thirst for adventure and an amazing location to camp!

What a weekend!!! Jim was an absolute legend and gave us one of the best weekends we could have asked for.

He thought of everything from routes, times, activities and even had some cold beers for us after a hot summers afternoon on the paddle boards.

A fantastic trip run by a fantastically energetic leader! The views and experiences were amazing - I would recommend to all.

This was a fantastic trip from start to finish. Jim couldn’t do enough for us whilst we were there. He tweaked all our activities to suit the groups desires and everything was well timed.

One day we had beautiful weather which made all the walks and swims even better. There was no pressure on any aspect and Jim’s main aim is that you had fun and enjoyed yourself.

In terms of campsite this is a beautiful spot. The views are idyllic and the added bonus of this being located on a farm means you can see some wonderful animals if you’re lucky. Facilities wise it’s basic but has everything you need and always kept clean.

Overall this made my birthday weekend one to remember. I’d recommend this trip 100%

Wonderful weekend away, with Jim and his team making sure that everyone enjoyed the weekend and arranging the days to avoid the crowds at swimming spots.

The campsite is situated with beautiful views of Mount Snowdon. However, the tents were not designed for cold weather, facilities were few and the eco-credentials of this site were questionable. Sadly I would not recommend this trip.

Absolutely magical weekend of hiking, SUP'ing and wild swimming. We were super lucky with the weather considering it was April, but even if it had rained the whole time it would still have been awesome. Jim is a fantastic host and truly went above and beyond to make the experience special. Swimming in a waterfall pool with a view of the mountains covered in mist is something I will never, ever forget.

Great weekend, highly recommend. Guides local knowledge and experience meant we could really maximise the activities we did and they were truly committed to making sure we had a great weekend.

Highly recommend this adventure in this beautiful part of the world. Views from the campsite were incredible and facilities as advertised. What really made this trip was the friendly organiser Jim and our swim and SUP instructor Cat. They were so accommodating and made sure everyone was enjoying the trip at all times. The instruction was brilliant and we always felt safe and comfortable.

Amazing trip, good variety of activities and stunning views when paddle boarding on the Welsh lakes as well as when camping. Beautiful hike too.

An excellent foray into the magical Welsh valleys and landscapes. Catering, accommodation and facilities were more than adequate, with incredible night-time views to boot.

Props to Jim and Sue for their brilliant organisation of this experience.

An absolutely amazing weekend! The instructors were so friendly and knowledgeable, taking us to all the best spots for swimming/dipping/paddle boarding. It was one of the hottest weekends of the year so everywhere was busy but they thought of other places we could go as well that weren’t as packed. The food was good, accommodation was good and views from the campsite were spectacular. We were all sad when the weekend came to an end and can’t wait to go back!

Such a wonderful weekend! Couldn’t have been better the campsite was unbelievable with uninterrupted views of Snowdon. Jim, Sue and the other guides were amazing and made me feel confident to try and learn new things. Very well organised and loved how adaptable the itinerary was to accommodate everyone avoiding crowds and working with the weather conditions. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

From start to finish this trip was amazing. The hosts were fantastic, professional and very knowledgeable. Scenery was just beautiful. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful way to spend a weekend! I highly recommend this trip in the breath-taking Snowdonia area. The views from the campsite were spectacular and the friendly hosts Jim and Sue made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived to when we left. All the wild swimming and SUPing activities were fantastic and I really appreciated the flexible approach of the instructors Kat and Elle ensuring everyone of all abilities was catered for.
