RIB Powerboating on the Thames
RIB Powerboating on the Thames

The best way to see London is from the Thames. But if the tourist cruisers are too tame for you, leave them bobbing in your wake in a high-speed powerboat. After a safety briefing you'll board your custom-built Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Heading upstream from the London Eye, you'll see the Houses of Parliament before racing back down to Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf, with unrivalled views of Tate Modern, St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London along the way. Your experienced skipper knows lots of stories about the layers of history that have built up along the river, and you'll be pulling up sharply to learn some of the history behind the landmarks, and entertaining the crowds as you whisk around in 360-degree spins. Your skipper can tell you all about London's darker past too: the bolt holes that tell tales of the criminals chained up to drown at high tide, and the Watergate dungeon entrance, known for over 300 years as 'Traitors Gate', which beckons menacingly!

Then after passing The Tate Gallery, you'll dive into the Thames and swim up and down the river, before climbing up onto the streets of London towards Lambeth Palace and back to your starting point near the famous London Eye.

Wakeboarding
Wakeboarding

Wakeboarding: a sport so cool, lots of people have yet to learn about it. In fact it's the fastest growing watersport in the country. It's like a cross between water-skiing, snowboarding and surfing (it used to be called skurfing, but that sounded silly). You're pulled across the water by hanging onto a cable, but unlike water-skiing you're attached to a single wide board and it's also a bit slower. So it's perfect for anyone who wants to try a new sport and doesn't mind getting very wet indeed. After a full safety briefing, you'll be on the water and round the cable. You'll start off knee-boarding, which will help you get to grips with the basics and put the theory into practice. The tricky bit is taking corners, but once you've got the hang of that you'll be up on your feet and whizzing around on your wakeboard in no time, experiencing the adrenaline rush of flying across the water. Not even the occasional dunking will wipe the smile off your face. Click Here for More Details...

Scuba Diving for Two
Scuba Diving for Two

Scuba diving always looks so tempting on holiday, but if you've never tried it before then it can seem like going in at the deep end (pun fully intended). Back in rainy Britain it's very easy to forget why diving seemed so appealing (a bit like ouzo, or that perma-tanned rep). But learning how to scuba dive is a ticket to a lifetime of underwater adventure and this two-person experience is a perfect introduction to the sport. You'll get expert instruction on safety and underwater mobility techniques, then you'll learn how to breathe underwater and achieve weightlessness while getting used to the equipment. Courses take place in swimming pools under controlled conditions - and while it might seem a long way from diving in a tropical ocean, it's the perfect way to get a basic grounding in diving and find out whether you like it. It's also ideal for anyone considering taking a PADI Open Water Diving Course. Click Here for More Details...

Surfing Discovery Day
Surfing Discovery Day

Surfing is no longer the preserve of teenagers who call everyone dude - because the rest of the world has cottoned on to how much fun it is. On this full day experience you'll learn the basics of surfing practice and etiquette and by the end of the day you'll be catching some waves with the best of them. The experience takes place either in Cornwall (home of British surfing) or Cleveland, and the instructors all hold lifeguard and first aid qualifications, so you'll be in safe hands. During your morning lesson you'll learn all about safety, basic paddling techniques, catching waves, board trim and steering, standing up (the hard bit!), wave selection and rights of way. Then after lunch spend the whole afternoon practising your new skills among the waves, with your instructor always on hand. So come and find out what all the fuss is about - you'll never forget the thrill of riding your first wave. Click Here for More Details...

Kayaking
Kayaking

If you fancy doing something a bit more adventurous on your day off than just washing the car, and you don't mind getting a bit wet (although in fairness that can happen washing the car), then give kayaking a try. It's fun, it's active, and it's also a great way to see some of Britain's loveliest countryside. Your experience begins with a safety briefing and an outline of basic handling techniques from your expert instructor. Then go out onto the water in your one-person kayak. You'll be shown a variety of skills used by the experts and you'll quickly get the hang of handling your boat. Kayaking is great fun and can't be beaten for the sheer pleasure of powering yourself silently across the water. The stunning scenery of Wales makes a perfect backdrop to a sea kayaking adventure. Or choose the splendour of going out onto a Scottish loch. Alternatively you can kayak in the middle of England. Wherever you choose, all venues suit beginners and those wanting to brush up on their skills. Click Here for More Details...

Canyoning
Canyoning

Rediscover your sense of adventure - and what it's like to be soaked to the skin! Canyoning is a truly all-round adventure experience, following a natural water course through a precipitous canyon. To start off with you'll have a safety briefing with your instructor and get kitted out with the right equipment. Then after a short walk to the top of the beautiful Allt' a Bhealaich Gorge, you'll follow the natural water course down through the gorge, descending waterfalls, sliding down natural water flumes, scrambling down gorges and jumping into deep, clear rock pools. In some sections you'll use harnesses and ropes to get down, all safely controlled by your instructor. This is a challenging, exciting and very physical experience and you might get a few bumps along the way, but there's a path running along the length of the canyon, so no part of the descent is compulsory - you can always take the path instead.
