Summary:
We had the most exhilarating day out with this incredible mobile watersports company on the stunning Ullswater! Our large group of dads and kids were buzzing from start to finish. The team was brilliantly organised, super friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe while still pushing us just enough to make it a real adventure.
The canoeing was a perfect mix of fun and challenge — gliding across the lake with the mountains all around was just magical. But we were also treated to another highlight- rock jumping! Watching the kids (and a few brave dads!) conquer their nerves and leap into the water was something special. It wasn’t just fun — it was a real moment of growth and resilience for them, and the instructors were amazing at encouraging and supporting every step of the way.
This wasn’t just a day out — it was a memory-making, confidence-building, laugh-out-loud kind of experience that we’ll all be talking about for years. Can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re looking for a unique, active, and meaningful group adventure in the Lakes — this is it!
