What it’s like

Guided climbing, kayaking, raft building and forest or river expeditions run as proper multi-activity days out.

This one's built around activity days rather than a single attraction. Guided climbing is on the list, alongside kayaking, canoe journeys, raft building, walking and navigation training, often mixed together into one multi-activity day rather than offered as single bookable slots. There's also a River Dart Expedition and a Forest Expedition, which sound like the bigger, more involved options if you want something that fills a day properly.

There are Parents & Children activities listed too, so this isn't just a drop-off scheme. If you fancy getting stuck in with your kids rather than watching from the side, that's clearly on offer here rather than an afterthought.

Duke of Edinburgh programmes also run through them, which tells you this is a proper outdoor activity provider used to working with structured groups, not just a one-off day trip operation. That's worth knowing if you're weighing this up against a softer, more theme-park style adventure day.

Raft building is the one that'll stick in a kid's memory, mostly because it usually ends with someone in the water. Navigation training is the quieter, more skills-based end of things, and probably suits a kid who likes knowing why they're doing something, not just doing it.
