1.Are you still missing ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get me out of here?’ Create your own jungle-style experience here in Swansea Bay with Dryad Bushcraft with foraging, fire lighting and shelter building! There may not be any Bushtucker Trials but we can’t guarantee you won’t be accompanied by any creepy crawlies!

2.  Start the New Year the Swansea Bay Way! Get kitted up, grab your board and paddle and head out with Gower Stand up Paddle – the water might be a little chilly but only if you lose your balance and fall in!

3.  Discover your inner Tarzan and head to Go Ape Margam for zip wires, tarzan swings and rope ladders.

4.  Get Down to Earth for an eco-adventure the #SwanseaBayWay! Climb a tree, carve your own walking stick, and bake your own handmade pizza in a wood fired earth oven.

5.  Climb, jump, splash, swim, repeat! Enjoy coasteering on the award winning Rhossili Bay with Gower Activity Centres!

6.  Not a water baby? No problem! Stay on dry land and learn to kite buggy or kite land board along Swansea Bay with Gower Kite Riders. There’s plenty of space for you to practise those clever new manoeuvres.

7.  Thrill Seeker? Jump aboard a Zap Cat or powerboat with Oxwich Watersports and enjoy a coastal adventure that will really get your heart racing!

8.  Surfs up! And we’ve got a range of beaches to pick your perfect wave…contact Welsh Surfing Federation Surfing School for details.

9.  Abseil your way around the award winning Three Cliffs Bay with Gower Adventures and enjoy some breathtaking views!
