For adults there is a choice of 2 courses, the "Explorer" and for the more experienced or adventurous, the "Extreme".
For children aged from 4 to 11 years a specially designed "Pirates" course is also available. Unless you are visiting
as part of a large group, there is no need to book, just turn up on the day, and each adventure lasts approximately 1.1/4
hours inclusive of a 15 mintute mandatory safety and traning session. Contact details for more information are:
