Our story

A family business built around the outdoors

Ballyhass Adventure Group is a family-owned outdoor adventure business in Cork, built around one simple belief: more people should have the chance to get outside, try something new and feel the benefits of adventure.

Our two centres, at Mallow and Coachford, offer activities on land, on the water and at height. Every experience is instructor-led and challenge-by-choice, so each person decides how far they go.

“The people around us is definitely number one. The outdoors is a close second.”

30 seconds, with captions. It plays from this website.
What is said and shown in the film

We are Ballyhass Adventure Group. We have two different centres in County Cork that offer land, water and height activities. We also offer SUPing, saunas, zip lining. We love being in the outdoors, but also being with the people and the team that deliver our experiences. They're passionate about what they do. We encourage them to bring their personality. The people around us is definitely number one. The outdoors is a close second. It's not too bad.

The film opens on the lake at Mallow from above, then shows a member of the team speaking by the lake, groups in helmets and harnesses on the high ropes and the zipline, paddleboarders, a woman in the sauna, the Aquapark from above, wakeboarders and swimmers in the lake. It ends with two people balancing on a log high above the water, arms raised.

  • An instructor talks to a row of young people in helmets and harnesses sitting on a bench, with the lake behind them
  • Seen from below, a young person in a helmet and harness climbs the top of a tall pole, with the ball they will leap for hanging beside it
  • Two paddlers in wetsuits and buoyancy aids high-five beside the lake, laughing

As youth workers it can be difficult for us to take our young people out and for them to feel safe and included, but Ballyhass was ideal.
