Outdoor Activities In Northern Ireland

Adventure Learning, Leadership Training, Youth Development and Corporate Programmes

All the activities listed below can be integrated into a structured programme.

We can design a bespoke programme to target your specific needs and objectives. Maybe you need a Youth Development or Leadership Training programme that requires elements of team building and shared responsibility with consequential decision-making. Or maybe you are looking for the targeted outcomes of an Adventure Learning Programme which, for example, could be embedded into a Corporate Adventure day or Course.

Maybe you just want to learn the skills of Kayaking or Climbing, or any of our activities, with our Activity Tuition. Or if you have an upcoming event such as a Stag / Hen, or Birthday party we can arrange an event which could consist of just one activity or a weekend full of fun. We can even arrange your accommodation.

What ever it is, talk to us and we will help you achieve your goals!

Canoeing / Kayaking

Learn the basics of this exciting and popular water sport in just a few hours. Master your craft and the skills needed to keep it upright, or upside down if you desire! Or you could book a series of lessons to learn the more difficult skills and leave with a Nationally Recognised certificate to prove it. One, Two and Three Star BCU Certificated courses available.

Hill Walking

It might just be for a nice day out as a guided walk or to learn the basic skills of navigation but whatever the reason, Hill Walking can be a great way to spend your time. Some people even call it relaxing! Whatever your reason, you will love getting out into our natural environment in places such as the Mourne Mountains, one of the most spectacular sceneries in N.Ireland.

Climbing

How would you like to scale the highest mountain, the Hard Way! We will be able to give you a taste of what that might feel like and send you on the right track to achieve your goal. At Activities Ireland we can introduce you to the sport of climbing either on an indoor wall or a small outdoor crag. We can tell you about some of the more basic skills and also the types of equipment used. Half day session or structured courses are available, as with all our activities.

Mobile Climbing Tower

We can even bring a mobile climbing tower to your venue. This is a great idea for a birthday party or fun day event at your local youth club or church.

Orienteering

Learn the art of Map reading and Navigation! Or as a Personal Development activity with a group of peers, Orienteering can be used in any of our programmes. This is also a great sport to introduce in schools at an early age and can be taken further as pupils move through their years in school.

Archery

After a very short time you WILL be hitting gold! Great for birthdays and Stag / Hen parties this will bring out your competitive spirit!

Trail Cycling / Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking is one of today’s fastest growing Adventure Activities. At Activities Ireland you can learn the techniques you will need to safely handle a Mountain Bike on Forest Tracks and Trails. You can also learn a little about the skills needed to take Mountain Biking to the next higher level and who knows where that could take you!

Coasteering / Bouldering

Initially you may ask, "What is Coasteering or Bouldering"? Well Coasteering is simply described as a Coastal Traverse at Sea level. You will safely navigate a part of our beautiful coastline by clambering over rocks, swimming across gaps and possibly even having to jump into the sea from height. Your nerve will be taken into consideration before choosing the venue! This Activity has been led in many parts of the UK mainland for over 15 years but it was not until the more recently that it has been offered in Northern Ireland. Our Lead Instructor was one of those Instructors taking groups Coasteering in South Wales 12 years ago and so as plenty of experience.

Bouldering can be one of two things. It can be a dry river walk in a relatively low river or it can be a very wet experience where the participant will do a lot of swimming through deep pools and possibly even jumping from height into the river! Both of these activities make a great team building experience.
