Most of us live in nice, safe houses, work in nice, safe offices, and our biggest adrenaline rush of the day comes from jumping onto the train just as the doors are closing. So rediscover your sense of adventure amid spectacular scenery with this amazing coasteering experience. You'll climb rocks, jump off cliffs, swim in the sea and do plenty of scrambling about. After a full safety briefing and getting kitted out, you'll set off in a small team with your instructor to traverse along the bottom of the cliffs, figuring out the best route together and trying to dodge the waves. Where you can, you'll climb along the rocks, but when the going's too steep it's time to jump in and swim! You can buy a packed lunch to take along, or bring your own. After lunch, just in case you haven't had enough of the great outdoors, it's time to try either kayaking, surfing or climbing/abseiling. You might get a few bumps along the way, but this is an inspiring, challenging and thrilling day.

Journey over sparkling ice and snow to one of the last true frontiers left on the planet - the geographic North Pole. After reaching Svalbard, Norway's northernmost outpost, you'll board a jet to Camp Borneo, followed by a flight in a polar-proven helicopter over the Arctic Circle, home of polar bears, walruses and seals. You'll land as close to the geographic North Pole as possible, where you'll enjoy champagne and the unique opportunity to run around the world. From here it's all south, returning to Svalbard for a snowmobile day exploring the icy wilderness and the majestic Tempelfjord. Return flights from Svalbard to Camp Borneo, a snowmobile tour, some of your meals, three nights' accommodation and specialist equipment are all included.
Throwing yourself out of a plane at 10,000 feet might be considered utter madness. But if close friends start wondering aloud about your sanity (or the contents of your will), you can reassure them that you'll be attached (literally) to an expert instructor and that, frankly, you're in for an experience so exhilarating that you'll probably never stop talking about it. Your experience begins with around an hour of instruction on skydiving and landing techniques, before you go up in the plane. You'll be securely harnessed to your instructor, who will help you jump from the plane (or at least help you fall with style). You'll get about 30 seconds of freefall, which is so completely incredible there's no point in us trying to describe it. Then your instructor will open the parachute and control your descent while you admire the view and try to come to terms with the adrenaline rush. Mind blowing.
Rediscover your sense of adventure - and what it's like to be soaked to the skin! Canyoning is a truly all-round adventure experience, following a natural water course through a precipitous canyon. To start off with you'll have a safety briefing with your instructor and get kitted out with the right equipment. Then after a short walk to the top of the beautiful Allt' a Bhealaich Gorge, you'll follow the natural water course down through the gorge, descending waterfalls, sliding down natural water flumes, scrambling down gorges and jumping into deep, clear rock pools. In some sections you'll use harnesses and ropes to get down, all safely controlled by your instructor. This is a challenging, exciting and very physical experience and you might get a few bumps along the way, but there's a path running along the length of the canyon, so no part of the descent is compulsory - you can always take the path instead.
Imagine crashing through the undergrowth, dodging exploding paintballs, hiding in bunkers, or spying on your enemies from on high. On arrival, you will be kitted out with freshly laundered combat coveralls, full face protection paintball goggles and a top of the range semi-automatic paintball gun with an impressive 500 paintballs each. You will be given a full safety briefing by an experienced marshal before commencing play. This is a real chance to shake off your day-to-day responsibilities and rekindle your spirit of adventure. There are between four and six games included, played out within differently themed areas and zones, set up to test your skills of strategy, leadership, navigation and teamwork.
