Aztec Adventure Group Adventure Water Activities

Water Adventures

We have something for everyone! Our activity and adventure programmes are tailored to the objectives of your group. Choose from any number of these fun and exciting activities. They could include any mixture of land and/or water adventures.

We welcome a wide variety of groups all year round. This could be for a day, a weekend or for longer adventures. Our activity and adventure programmes are tailored to the objectives of your group, their ages and the duration of your stay to ensure you really get the most out of your trip.

Whether it is team building, corporate activities and promotions, school or leisure groups, a birthday party or hen or stag do, pure adventure or practical sessions, we will work with you to tailor-make your programme. If your group encompasses a large age range, we can split them into smaller teams and offer a tailored programme with age-appropriate activities and challenges for all.

Our group packages create a fun and exhilarating experience focussing on challenge and adventure that will bring out the best in everyone. These are often life changing experiences which will have a measurable impact as we provide the ability to challenge, build confidence, promote independence, forge life-long friendships and increase engagement and attainment.

For school groups, youth organisations and scout group bookings we have two campsites which are a short walk from all the activities. There are also three chalets which sleep a total of thirteen people. Apologies but we do not offer accommodation for individuals or single-sex adult groups.
