How do you choose an adventure activity? Match it to the people in the group first, then to the season and the budget.
The best day out is one that everyone can enjoy. These checks help you get there.
Think about the people
Mixed ages and abilities suit something like go-karting or a zip line. A group of confident friends might prefer coasteering or white water rafting. Ask yourself who might feel left out, and choose with them in mind.
Check the limits
Most activities have minimum ages, weight limits or fitness needs. Read these before you get your hopes up, and ask the provider if you are unsure.
Match the season
Some activities are best in summer, such as coasteering. Others, such as indoor climbing, work all year. The activity pages show the best time of year for each one.
Compare the effort
Rafting and coasteering are physically demanding and wet. Paddleboarding and ballooning are gentler. Be honest about your group.
Look at the budget
Guide prices on each activity page give you a rough idea. Ask providers for a quote, because prices change by date and group size.
