Activities

There are two of us who want to do activities, can we just turn up?

We run a dedicated Summer Schedule in both July & August where yes you can just turn up, explore and play. For our most popular activities, we still really recommend booking in advance, especially in the peak summer months to avoid disappointment. Outside of this Summer Public Scedule a lot of our adventure activities are predominantly best suited for a group. We look for a minimum of ten people to take part in activities. This is because we want to provide the best experience possible. With a group it is far more fun as we can create a whole event out of each activity, playing games and little competitions between members of the group.  There are however a few exceptions to this rule and they are our Aquapark and Wakeboarding as well as the aforementioned Summer Public Schedule.These can be done by individuals, couples or small groups.
