THE INFLATABLE FUN RIDES, LOVED BY EVERYONE, are a great addition to all other activities. Take on the challenge of riding the ‘Slippery’ Banana Boat or ‘Relaxing’ Sofa, whilst being towed behind our speed boat. This activity can be tailored for each group, whether you have younger more timid riders or those looking for an adrenaline rush.
STAND-UP PADDLE BOARDING WITH FUN AND GAMES. A fantastic activity that challenges balance and coordination while enjoying the lake. Standing, sitting, or kneeling on the board, it’s your choice making it suitable for everyone. Our experienced instructors provide full tuition and will lead games throughout the session.
WATER-SKIING & WAKEBOARDING, two watersports many young people think they would never try. This package provides a fantastic opportunity to experience the fun and excitement of water skiing and wakeboarding, a sport that many people may not have previously considered. Both experienced and 1st timers are welcome as full dry land training is carried out by our qualified staff, using the latest training techniques. A training boom is fitted to the boat offering a progressive, easy learning curve, using the best equipment available.
