We don’t charge extra for things you need for each booking. So wetsuits are available to all who want to use them. Buoyancy aids are compulsory so of course you get one of those.
We are happy for well-behaved dogs to accompany you as long as the equipment comes back in the same condition.
Unfortunately, we don’t. A large council-owned car park in Mudeford Quay is payable by the hour.
Please note that the car park can be very busy during peak season and at the weekends, so please allow plenty of time before your booking.
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
