Gorge Walking Brecon Beacons
Experience the thrill of Gorge Walking in breathtaking Waterfall Country, nestled in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. For your convenience, we organise our Gorge Walking activities in a location just a short drive from Cardiff, Swansea, Brecon, and Carmarthen, making it a must-try activity for anyone visiting South Wales.
Booked an individual climbing session for my grandson aged 14 ( with his grandfather) with Steffan. It was great for his self confidence and he will definitely continue with this activity. We would come back to Wales specifically for Steffan.
Excellent instruction and tuition from Steffan for four ‘apprehensive’ climbers. Steffan was very patient and calming showing us the ‘ropes’. Would definitely recommend.
We had a great full day of activities with Hawk Adventure and had Steve as our guide. We started in the morning with rock climbing and abseiling which was a great fun, and Steve made us feel at ease with his expertise.
Group Types
We know that no two groups are the same, which is why every gorge walking experience we offer is tailored to suit the people taking part. Whether it’s about building confidence, having a laugh, or just doing something completely different, we adapt each session to match the energy, ability, and goals of the group. It’s all about making sure everyone feels included, challenged, and has a brilliant time in the great outdoors.
Stag & Hen Do’s
If you’re after a bit of adrenaline with your pre-wedding celebrations, gorge walking ticks all the boxes for Stag and Hen do’s. It’s wild, fun, and just the right amount of challenging. You’ll all be in it together — climbing, splashing, and sliding your way through the day. It’s a great way to bond the group (even the ones who’ve only just met), and it guarantees some epic stories to tell later on.
Schools/Scouts
Gorge walking is perfect for school trips and Scout groups. It gets everyone working together, building confidence, and trying something completely new. Expect lots of encouragement, muddy boots, and plenty of laughs as they help each other up waterfalls and through flowing streams. We can tailor the session to suit your group’s age, ability, or badge requirements too.
Corporate
Tired of the same old team-building days? Try something that actually gets people talking. Gorge walking is a fantastic team building activity to break the ice, push a few boundaries, and have a good laugh while you’re at it. It’s all about working together — helping each other across slippery rocks, through water pools, and up natural climbs. No PowerPoint in sight, just a proper shared adventure.
Family
Looking for something a bit different to do with the kids? Gorge walking is a brilliant family adventure to get outside, get active, and have some real fun together. You’ll splash through streams, clamber over rocks, and slide down natural water chutes — all at a pace that suits everyone. It’s safe, exciting, and a great chance to make some unforgettable family memories.
Solo/Couples
Whether you’re flying solo or planning something special with your partner, gorge walking is a fantastic way to shake things up. It’s peaceful, energising, and a proper escape from the usual routine. You’ll be out in nature, moving through water and rock, with a guide there to support you the whole way. Just the two of you — or just you — doing something memorable.
Tailored to your Skills
We are flexible and tailor your Gorge Walking in South Wales to suit your preferences and skill level.

FAQs
Gorge Walking involves navigating through gorges, which includes walking, climbing, and possibly swimming, tailored to the group’s preferences.
Yes, there is a difference between gorge walking and canyoning. Gorge walking typically involves walking, scrambling, and climbing through gorges, focusing more on exploring the terrain with less technical equipment. Canyoning, on the other hand, is a more technical and adventurous activity that includes abseiling, jumping, sliding, and swimming through canyons, often requiring specialised gear and training.
If weather conditions on the day are poor, our instructor will make decisions based on safety. We can offer a substitute activity, such as caving (or something more weather-tolerant), or you can re-book your Gorge Walking experience for another day. If you have any concerns about weather or conditions, we recommend that you contact us directly.
While being able to swim is a benefit when gorge walking, you don’t have to be a strong swimmer, as we provide buoyancy aids. Just let your instructor know, and we’ll be happy to accommodate all swimming abilities.
Yes, all our Gorge Walking activities are supervised by highly qualified and experienced instructors to ensure the safety of all participants.
You’re welcome to bring your own wetsuit if you have one, or you can use one of ours. You’ll also need a swimming costume, a T-shirt or vest, wet socks or thick socks, a complete change of clothes, a towel, a packed lunch, water, and any necessary medication.
