Activity Holidays in Wales

Overview

Ancient and dignified with an air of wilderness and beauty, it’s easy to see why Wales has been a popular holiday destination for both history-lovers and outdoor thrillseekers over the years. Majestic castles perched above rolling green hills and spectacular coastline of wild, windswept beaches and wave-battered cliffs. Whether you’re looking for a quick break, Welsh day experience and more immersive activity holiday in Wales, there’s plenty on offer and Wales feels like home from the moment you arrive.

Wales is a country that has it all. From the thriving multi-cultural city of Cardiff, its capital, to mountainous national parks. It even has the most castles per square mile in the world. One thing is guaranteed though. In Wales, you’re never a million miles away from a cosy pub or a family-run cafe. And once you start exploring, there’s an abundance of hidden gems and isolated spots to be discovered.

You might choose to spend your time hiking the narrow ridges and dramatic valleys of Snowdonia, hurtling through the Brecon Beacons on a mountain bike or even foraging for a unique dining experience on the Pembrokeshire coast. The possibilities here are endless and there is something to suit your holiday itinerary.

Our experiences and activity holidays in Wales will provide you with the best combination of culture and fun that this small but mighty country has to offer. Experience a Wales that lies off the beaten track and you’ll soon find enriching experiences that help to create an unforgettable trip.

    What our travellers are saying...

    Amazing weekend. Amy is a truly inspirational yoga teacher. Lake and sea swims were awesome. The food was so good. Highly recommend this retreat.

    Pat A

    Feeling fabulous today for the first time in a long time all thanks to a weekend away with The Zest Life. A huge thank you to Kate and the Wild Swim team for an awesome sensory reboot.

    Such a wonderful and relaxing stay. The attention to detail of the treehouse was amazing. The total thought to the surroundings and environment was outstanding. Totally appreciated the maps for the hiking trails and also the adventure day trip and also the gift of the print of the treehouse was the icing on the cake. Definitely will return.

    Alison

    Our break away was just magical, the treehouse was lovely with a fantastic decking area next to the stream. The hot tub was great and the outdoor shower was lovely. We had a rope swing and a hammock. You really do not need to go off site,so much to do or just relax and do nothing. The walk from the car park is a effort so pack light. Its a holiday where you really do have quality time and just perfect to create memories with family. Just perfect

    A fantastic and different experience. The treehouses are so secluded and beautiful that you really feel like you are connecting back with nature. The views are amazing and the hot tub was a welcome sight after a day of walking in the mountains. A real treat for families or couples alike, we will certainly be heading back.

    Having just returned from the treehouse retreat (we stayed in Lofty), I felt compelled to give a review as both the experience and hosts were great. Upon arrival we took the short walk to our treehouse, over a wobbly bridge and up into the trees. The treehouse itself was very cosy with a double bed, bunk beds and a kitchen/lounge area as well as an outside terrace, plenty of room for the 4 of us. We had a fabulous weekend of walking, toasting mar

    Amazing weekend! Magnificent yoga with the Wonderful Claire in the most beautiful of settings. Everyone so friendly and welcoming, food was also outstanding. The hidden Gardens are just a big bonus and the SUP was an experience I can’t wait to do again. The whole package was brilliant and one I’m sure my daughter and I will be repeating soon!

    Joanne P

    What an amazing weekend. Pure Yoga retreat was full of warmth, fun, learning, amazing food and wonderful people. The depth of knowledge delivered by Claire and Kate in all aspects of the yoga tradition was perfect and delivered in such a way as to be very accessible. Outstanding food by Michelle and all contained within the most serene location. Will be booking again...

    Best Time to Visit Wales

    Spring Summer Autumn Winter
    See more photos

    Expect temperatures between 7 degrees in March and 12 degrees in May.

    Wales is typically drier earlier in the year and much wetter later on, so you’re probably better hitting the national parks and coast in the months of April, May and June. However, it is worth noting that the conditions in Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons and other upland areas can be changeable throughout the year.

    See more photos

    Expect temperatures between 15 degrees in June and 20 degrees in August.

    Summer is the best season to visit Wales as the weather is generally milder and there are a number of festivals and events around the country to enjoy. Of course, this means higher prices, especially in the coastal areas and national parks, as well as more visitors than other times of the year. If you are hoping to do hikes or visit small villages, you’ll avoid crowds by going in spring.

    See more photos

    Expect temperatures between 14 degrees in September and 8 degrees in November.

    Autumn is not dissimilar to spring but make sure you bring your waterproofs. September can be a great month to visit as the weather is generally pleasant with less crowds at the top sights and national parks.

    See more photos

    Expect temperatures between 5 degrees in December and 4 degrees in February.

    Finally, in the winter season, it can get pretty cold. January and February are particularly bitter, and roads can be closed by snow, but if you’re the adventurous type, the trails, the paths, the pubs, will be all yours. Be aware though that some natural sights may be difficult to visit and may even close over winter. This could be a great time to sample the culture and sights of Cardiff.
