CAVING - Visit a whole new sub-terranean world - one you never knew existed. 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. An incredible experience and one not to be missed.

CLIMBING - What goes up must come down - well firmly attached to a rope anyway. A great way of seeing the majestic Brecon Beacons National Park scenery - even hanging upside down. We have a variety of sites close by so that we can cater for all ages and abilities whether it be just a taster or something for the more experienced climber. 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 you get the most out of the experience.

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 - Sound interesting then give it try- A great buzz.

PAINTBALL - Ever fancy yourself as that all action hero - well here's your chance to prove what you've been saying for years. Equipped with full face mask, overalls and most importantly the latest paintball guns and pellets you're away (mostly repainting the forest). Play out a number of scenarios during the day in a wonderful natural woodland setting. With paintballing you can't fail to enjoy this excellent team activity.

QUAD BIKING - With the famous Griff, Paul and staff. Wonderful characters who ensure you will have a great day. These bikes are not for children.

COASTEERING - Or sea level traversing. If you like the sound of Canyoning you will love coasteering. Jumping in and out of the surf, avoiding the waves as they crash over the rocks and cliff jumping are part and parcel of this high adrenaline day. Carried out in the picturesque Mumbles area of Swansea Bay. Non-swimmers can also try this activity as buoyancy aids are provided.

PARAGLIDING - A paraglider is a foot-launched, ram-air, aerofoil canopy, designed to be flown and landed with no other energy requirements than the wind, gravity and the pilot's musclepower. We descend at about 3 minutes per 1000' of altitude. However, if the air is rising faster than we are descending (as often happens), flights of 1-3 hours are not uncommon. Paragliders are designed for soaring flight. Parachutes are designed to descend. As of 1994, paragliders have stayed aloft over 11 hours and are close to achieving 200 mile distance records.

SURF ADVENTURE DAYS - Are you a bit of a beach bum ? If you are then this is the day for you. A combination of surfing, body boarding, surf kayaking, cricket, football and obviously sun bathing (even in South Wales!) are all included. A good chilling out day.

A number of courses are available from one day tasters in the pool to full courses to obtain the necessary qualifications.

Sensitive trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet and by working on these points the reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased and circulation is improved. A superb way to relax and unwind.

REIKI - (pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy (the name literally means Universal Life Force Energy).
