Acitvity Levels

Not everyone arrives with the same level of experience or fitness, and that’s completely fine. Each activity is labelled to give you a clear idea of what to expect so you can choose something that feels comfortable and enjoyable. Some outings are gentle and designed for those just getting started, while others involve a bit more distance or effort. The aim is simply to help you pick the experience that feels right for you.
