Be amazed by the rock formations, attempt many of the challenges presented by them such as the intriguingly named "Toilet". South Wales has some of the best caving in northern Europe. This provides the flexibility to choose the right cave to suit all sizes, ages and abilities. On our very doorstep we have the biggest cave entrance in Wales and the largest cave passage in the United Kingdom. With Call of the Wild's experienced instructors you will be kitted out with a helmet, lamp and caving suit. Not just a superb activity but also an incredible learning experience about the geology of the area. BACK TO TOP

We have a variety of sites close by so that we can cater for all ages and abilities. Whether it be climbing in the mountains or on the cliffs of the Gower Peninsula, which is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the option is yours. No previous experience is required and our qualified and enthusiastic staff will ensure groups get the most out of the experience.BACK TO TOP
	ABSEILING / RAPPELLING - Once you've climbed to the top of the peak and amazed yourself by doing it then amaze yourself again by jumping off that ledge to abseil back down! Once you've gained the confidence and technique of going backwards then what about going down face first. BACK TO TOP
	COASTEERING - If you like the sound of gorge walking you will love coasteering. Jumping in and out of the surf and avoiding the waves as they crash over the rocks are part and parcel of this high adrenaline day. Some swimming is required. Carried out in the picturesque Swansea Bay and the Gower Peninsula. BACK TO TOP
