Go Wild In The Wilderness

Go Wild In The Wilderness

Take a walk on the wild side with us and test your survival skills. We guide you into areas only accessible by canoe, teaching you a range of bushcraft and campcraft skills that you will need for your weekend in the wilds. Activities include traditional fire lighting, cooking meals over an open fire, forage for wild foods, spoon carving, bow and arrow making, and rabbit skinning for the brave, then sit back and enjoy the peace with a beer or three. At the end of the day, sleep in your shelter or spend the night in a hammock in the trees.

What better way to have a stag or hen party with a difference - bring some beers, drink and eat camp food, sit around the fire and star gaze until whatever time you like!

Head for the heights

Head for the heights

If time is of the essence and you have only one day to have a blast, enjoy two exhilarating activities in 1 day! Our coasteering and climbing combination is the ultimate for a once day experience, as popular for hens as it is for stag groups.

This activity combination is for you if your group is really up for a laugh and wanting a big adrenaline buzz! For the less adventurous, some smaller jumps and crawl throughs are plentiful. All of our climbing is on natural rock and for this activity day it is on limestone found around the south Devon coast.

Shoot em up and canoe hunt

An amazing triple on day one - clay pigeon shooting, archery and air rifles - followed by a day 'hunting' and foraging on day two from canoes on the beautiful river dart estuary. Squirrels, rabbits and other small rodents beware!

Join us at for a fantastic two days of shooting, fishing and hunting. Our GNAS and CPSA qualified instructors will safely introduce you to target and field archery, clay pigeon shooting and air rifle shooting. We have a range of bows and shotguns of different sizes and gauges to cater for everyone.

"We all really enjoyed our coasteering and kayaking with you last weekend and Matt (the Stag) wanted me to extend his thank to you guys for looking after us so well on the saturday too."
Andrew S Apr 2010

"the coasteering experience was excellent. Everyone involved love it - even the one guy that chickened out of one of the jumps ... I'll be recommending it to anyone else I know heading down Devon way."
Chris Sep 2009

"We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Several comments saying they would like to do it again, and the guides were great, very patient with us being late all the way through. Coasteering is a definite repeat."
