Team building in Cardiff: 6 Ideas for team days out with CIWW

Summer is the perfect time to break out of the corporate routine and take your team building outside. If your company is based in Cardiff, you are in luck – the city and surrounding areas are packed full of different adventures which will get your staff working together and bonding.

Here at CIWW, we can offer your team a selection of adrenaline-filled outdoor activities, so you can take your pick between braving our course at the heart of Cardiff Bay or venturing out into the outskirts of the Welsh capital for an exhilarating day of gorge walking.

Take a look at our most popular team building activities which combine a day of adventure with rewarding team work:

White Water Rafting

Our white water rafting course is a thrilling activity which encourages your team members to communicate in order to successfully navigate through the rapids. Starting from only £25 per person and housing 6 people per raft, this adrenaline-packed adventure can be tailored to suit your needs. We even offer access to our wet lecture room, conveniently located next to the course, so you can have a debrief about the day without having to change out of your wetsuit.

Canoeing & Kayaking

The team building adventures are not just limited to rafting! The CIWW on-site facilities also cater for a range paddle sports with a flat-water pool and an Olympic standard white water course! Sign up your team for a beginner Canoeing or Kayaking session and watch how they build up their confidence on the water with the help of our fun and friendly instructors.

Gorge Walking

If you are looking to take your team out of the city and dive into nature, we also offer a South Wales gorge walking experience. During this adventure in the scenic Neath Valley, we’ll have your team scrambling up and down rivers and streams. Starting off slowly by learning all the essential techniques, by the end of the walk your staff will be jumping into plunge pools and making their way through steep gorges.

Both physically challenging and trilling, gorge walking is perfect for corporate team building days. Depending upon your group size, we might even be able to provide transport from our Cardiff Bay HQ – get in touch with our team to make arrangements.

If water sports are not for you and your team, Cardiff also has a lot of dry land adventures. Why not try:

Knockout obstacle course

An obstacle course complete with huge inflatables, slippery slides and tons of foam, the corporate “It’s a Knockout” team building package by GOTO Events will have your team dressed in silly costumes competing in wacky relay races. Put together by experienced events specialists, the Knockout package includes 4 to 8 activities tailored specifically to your team, run by a host/referee and concluded with a medal ceremony.

Treasure hunt

Organised by Wildgoose, this unique treasure hunt package presents your team with a series of questions and tasks they need to work together to solve, as well as a whole bunch of creative photo and video challenges that let everyone’s creative side shine. Both competitive and entertaining, the treasure hunt is a great corporate team building activity which will have your employees immersed in the bustling city centre or the scenic bay area.

The ultimate Bear Grylls survival experience

This programme inspired by Bear’s extreme adventures is perfect for lovers of the wilderness and will present your team with the ultimate bonding experience. Once again, you can personalise the programme to your staff requirements to feature a range of survival activities such as high ropes, wilderness rescue and getting to know the local area.
