Sailing - Now with Bareboat Charter and Flotilla Holidays !

Sailing is one of the finest outdoor activities and has been transformed in recent years. Advances in yacht and dinghy design have made for a truly exhilarating sport. You can learn to sail at good sailing schools or outdoor centres and then sail or race on your own, with your partner, or with your children.

Adventure Sports

Have you ever crossed a river on a rope? Have you ever climbed up a steep gorge covered in a tropical rainforest? When did you last jump into a rock pool, swam fully clothed, capsized in a raft, cycled along a muddy forest track?

Adventure sports challenge your physical and mental conditioning in an environment that demands teamwork, while providing lots of good, but sometimes dirty, wet fun. They involve the unexpected, like a sudden soaking or swim. No two sports are the same. You'll learn exciting new skills like swimming in clothes. The events and terrain all change depending on the location and type of the activity.

Bodyboarding

Bodyboarding is a form of wave riding using a bodyboard, which consists of a small roughly rectangular piece of foam, shaped to a hydrodynamic form.

Bodyboarding is popular as an amateur activity among travellers. A bodyboard and flippers (fins) are all you need to upgrade from swimming to bodyboarding.

Canoeing and Kayaking

Join your friends for a quiet paddle down a lazy river. Enjoy nature in peace and quiet. Go for a swim whenever you like. Paddling your way through the wilderness can be a wonderful opportunity to get some exercise, socialise with friends and explore wild places that are normally inaccessible. That is what canoeing is all about.

You can roll your kayak over and get wet whenever you want. Practice this often for fun and safety. Kayaks can be found on calm inland waters, whitewater rivers, and along the coasts in the oceans. Known for their maneuverability and seaworthiness, kayaks take many shapes depending on their desired use.

Rafting

Rafting covers a wide range of activities. There are wild water rafting trips or raft races down a quiet river. You can use a raft as a bathing platform or for aquatic games. Drifting on the water or playing on a lake is great fun, especially in a group. Above all they can provide a group of friends hours of fun.

Running

Running is a water sport? Well, not always, but the way we do it, maybe. Beach running and rain running are becoming quite popular as endurance training and conditioning.

Are you bored with endless rounds of track running? Want to try something exciting and new? If you're tired of running the same old 5K that meanders through the town and over the bridge, then we've got some exciting ideas for you.

Whether you run the trails to stay in shape or you're training for a race, following a conditioning program is the best way to prevent injury and to prepare your body for the event that lies ahead.

Surfing

Surfing involves riding waves while standing up on a surfboard. A surfer paddles the surfboard from the beach out behind the breaking waves. The surfer then paddles back towards the shore in an attempt to 'catch a wave'. Once a wave has picked up the surfer and surfboard, the surfer stands up on the board in various ways and is carried towards the shore. In competition, performance is assessed from style and feats on the board.

Windsurfing

The Joys of Windsurfing are a constant up and down for the beginner. Get used to it. After a while you'll spend more time on the board than in the water.

Windsurfing is a surface water sport using a windsurf board, also commonly called a sailboard, usually two to five meters long and powered by a single sail. It combines aspects of both sailing and surfing.
