We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Step onto the trapdoors at the top of a 100ft tower and feel a few seconds of true freefall before the Powerfan system lowers you safely to the ground. Take on the drop solo or alongside a friend, with the Conwy Valley as the backdrop to this short, intense challenge.
Arrive around 30 minutes before your start time, check in and make the short walk to the kit area. An instructor fits your harness and helmet, then explains how the descent system works so you know exactly what will happen at the top.
Because the site is set on a hill, you begin partway up already and climb the remaining 50ft to the platform by enclosed spiral stairs. At the top, an instructor connects you to the safety system and a second instructor cross-checks every attachment before you step onto the trapdoors.
Take a moment to look across the Conwy Valley, then count down to the release. The doors open for a brief 100ft freefall before the system lowers you to ground level, where the team helps you de-kit and catch your breath.
This freefall tower stands in the wooded adventure area near Betws y Coed, one of North Wales's best known mountain villages. The elevated position brings the Conwy Valley into view and turns the anticipation at the platform into part of the experience.
Betws y Coed is served by road, rail and local buses, with forest walks, cafes and village facilities close by. It makes a practical base for combining a short adrenaline challenge with a longer day in the North Wales countryside.
You must meet the activity's height and weight requirements, be comfortable with heights and be able to climb the enclosed 50ft stair section to the platform. Each participant may weigh no more than 130kg, and tandem participants must be within 40kg of one another.
No previous freefall or climbing experience is required because instructors fit, connect and cross-check the safety equipment. Wear secure closed shoes and comfortable outdoor clothing, and listen carefully to the guidance before the climb.
The double trapdoor makes the moment feel genuinely shared: go alone for a personal test of nerve or stand side by side with someone who will understand exactly why you are grinning afterwards. The whole experience is short enough to stay focused on the defining drop.
Two instructors and the Powerfan system manage every technical stage, from fitting through the final connection. That careful preparation gives you the confidence to look up, take in the view and commit to the countdown.
Arrive around 30 minutes before your start time and check in at the site. Use the buffer to get settled, sort loose belongings and make sure your group is ready for the safety briefing.
The team directs you to the kit area and outlines the short sequence ahead, from harness fitting to the platform and final drop.
An instructor fits your harness and helmet, checking that every part is comfortable and secure. They explain the controlled descent system and what you will feel when the trapdoors release.
This is the best time to ask questions. The briefing is designed for newcomers, so no prior technical knowledge is expected.
Walk to the tower and climb the remaining enclosed 50ft of spiral stairs to the top. The site begins on a hill, so this short climb brings you to the 100ft drop platform above the ground below.
Take the stairs steadily and follow the instructor's pace. The route is enclosed rather than exposed, but the climb is an essential part of reaching the challenge.
At the top, an instructor connects you to the descent system and explains where to stand on the trapdoors. A second instructor independently checks the harness connection before the drop can begin.
Take a breath and look out across the Conwy Valley. Whether you are solo or with a friend, the team makes sure everyone is positioned and ready.
At the countdown, the trapdoors open and you experience a few seconds of 100ft freefall. The Powerfan system then controls the rest of the descent, lowering you safely to ground level.
Once down, the team helps you de-kit and you have time to celebrate the moment with your group. The whole experience ends back beside the activity area.
Meet at the activity site in Betws y Coed, Conwy, LL24 0HX. Follow local signage and allow time to park and check in.
Road access is available, with train and bus links to Betws y Coed. Plan ahead during busy holiday periods.
Allow around 30 minutes for check-in at the activity area, harness fitting, the climb to the platform, the drop and de-kit. Arrive around 30 minutes before the scheduled start so the team can prepare the group without rushing.
The freefall itself lasts only a few seconds, but the briefing and checks are an important part of the experience. The team will guide you through each stage at a calm, clear pace.
You freefall through the trapdoors from a 100ft tower before the Powerfan system lowers you safely to the ground. The height and brief release are what create the intense, unmistakable drop sensation.
The platform also looks out over the Conwy Valley. You have a moment to take in the view before the final count begins.
Yes. The tower can be used for a solo drop or with one other person standing beside you. Tandem participants must be within 40kg of each other so the system can operate correctly.
Each participant is fitted and checked separately, even when dropping together. Choose the option that feels right for you and follow the instructor's positioning guidance at the trapdoors.
Each participant must weigh no more than 130kg. For a tandem drop, the maximum difference between participants is 40kg.
These limits help the harness and controlled descent system work as designed. The team confirms eligibility before the activity begins.
Yes. The site is already partway up a hill, but you climb a further enclosed 50ft of spiral stairs to reach the top platform. The stairs are not exposed, though you should be able to manage this short climb comfortably.
If stairs are likely to be difficult for you, consider this before travelling. The team can explain the route on arrival, but participants need to be able to reach the platform independently.
No previous freefall, climbing or technical adventure experience is needed. An instructor fits your harness and helmet, explains the system and remains with you through the preparation.
At the platform, one instructor connects you to the safety system and another cross-checks the connection. Your role is to follow the instructions, use the stairs safely and decide when you are ready for the countdown.
Wear comfortable outdoor clothing and secure closed shoes suitable for the short walk and stair climb. Choose layers that suit the weather, as the platform is outdoors and exposed to the conditions.
Avoid loose items that could catch or fall, and secure valuables before fitting the harness. The team will provide the specialist equipment needed for the activity.
Meet at the activity site in Betws y Coed, Conwy, postcode LL24 0HX. Follow the local signs on arrival and allow time for parking, check-in and the short walk to the activity area.
Betws y Coed can be reached by road, train and local buses. During busy school holidays, allow additional travel time through the village and follow on-site arrival guidance.
Yes. Instructors manage the safety briefing, harness fitting, platform connections and final cross-checks. You are supported from the moment you arrive at the kit area until you are safely back at ground level.
The guidance is especially useful for first-timers, as it leaves you free to focus on the experience rather than any technical equipment. Ask questions during the briefing if anything is unclear.
The tower is an outdoor experience, so wind and other conditions can affect safe operations. Dress for the weather and be ready for the platform to feel cooler than ground level.
Safety comes first. If conditions require an operational change, the team will be in touch with the relevant guidance.
