Go wild on Barnstaple's 360ft Monster Slip and Slide, with free bodyboards or rings. 1-hour wet fun for families.
“We had a great time at monster slip and slide Barnstaple! It was such a fun day out and a fantastic activity for the whole family. Be prepared to get quite wet so I would definitely come in a wetsuit but if you aren't willing to get drenched then there are many other ways go down eg. inflatable rings which come in singles, doubles and more for the family to enjoy, as well as bodyboards! There is even delicious cake and coffee for a snack afterwards or if you don't fancy getting wet.”

“We looked at the Bergen Pass but thought it was expensive. We bought a 2 zone 7 day Skyss Pass which was a lot cheaper and allowed us access to Skyss buses and light rail throughout Zone A ie all Bergen and further. We went for Zone F for the second zone which allowed us to go out to Norheimsund and the Hardangerfjord.”

Guided canoeing on the River Dart from Totnes, coached from the first stroke, small groups, scenic tide paddling, and photo stops.
“Really enjoyed our trip with Aiden. He looked after us excellently. We were an adult family group of 6. 2 in each kayak. Spent 3 hours paddling up and down the Dart and even had a couple of grey seals for company for part of the trip. All very relaxed and not too strenuous. Highly recommended.”
