- Pamdora530 contributionsIt’s harder than it looks but so pleased we did we gave it a go!Perfect weather conditions for our group of three older adults to try this activity for the first time, calm water, good equipment, small friendly group, and the added bonus of fabulous views of surrounding fells. Steve was very friendly, encouraging, professional and reassuring, seemed to give everyone the support they needed to get the best out of the session. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to come again to build up our confidence.Written 4 September 2024
- elainerI1586ZW0 contributionsCanoe taster sessionMy husband and I booked a 2 hour canoe taster session at Keswick and it really was a great introduction to canoeing. We had some basic instruction from Steve, our instructor, and 15 minutes in the bay close to shore whilst getting familiar with controlling the canoe. Then Steve followed us from island to island at our own pace, giving us tips and ensuring we stayed safe from the launches and their wake! We really enjoyed being on the Lake and wouldn't hesitate to recommend using this company if you're thinking of having a go at canoeing. Tip - wear shoes that you don't mind getting wet.Written 2 September 2024
- jodieo3580 contributionsHighly Recommend!First off a huge thank you to Andy our instructor, he was friendly, very experienced, pitched the day perfectly for us and takes amazing photos! This had to be one of the best experiences with my boys, so far, and we've had a few! At 8 and 14 they lapped up the challenges, and as a mum, more importantly, I felt confident that they were safe, that was all down to Andy too :) Highly recommend this company, trip and Andy, my boys are still talking about it and him! Some tips, be prepared to get a little cold, even in good weather, and very wet, head to toe! Take decent shoes and big towels to change under, you are on a car park in the middle of no where! It can be as hard or easy as you want to make it.Written 2 September 2024
- jonswy0 contributionsGhyll scrambling blast!Great experience Ghyll Scrambling with instructor Adam. I did the activity my my 12 year old daughter and Adam was great at encouraging her her whilst at the same time making sure she was safe at all times.Written 1 September 2024
- TheDESC0 contributionsGreat morning on the GhyllA great morning activity. Mobile Adventure were amazing, they communicated with us promptly about changes due to weather and when, where to meet. Our instructors (Adam & J) were brilliant and made the activity even better. We were 2 x groups of 11 people, including adults and young people (aged 14 to 17). Would recommend and will be back next summer.Written 30 August 2024
- Alison B0 contributionsAn experience enjoyed by us all - great time hadFantastic experience! My 11 & 12 year old also loved it. One to be repeated in future. Guide and instructor was very good and experienced- highly rated recommendedWritten 29 August 2024
- HalfDome540 contributionsA superb introduction to paddle boardingIt wasn't exactly the best weather for an introduction to paddle boarding but Phil, from Mobile Adventure made it a brilliant morning, taking us to a sheltered bay and guiding us through the techniques to get and stay upright. Everything about the trip was excellent - the communication, the kit, the safety instructions, the enthusiasm. Even on a paddle board, in a squall, there isn't a better place than Derwentwater!Written 26 August 2024
- monicahQ9820MZ0 contributionsA fabulous time on the waterMy nephew had a wonderful time on the lake having a canoe taster The group leader was really friendly and had them playing games on the water, they managed to get right around the island which he was very proud of achieving We got some fabulous photos and he’s decided he would like to have another go at canoeing It really is a fabulous way to try a number of water sports and I will be looking out for it next year a definite 10 out of 10Written 24 August 2024

An absolutely awesome experience that really tested our nerves and head for heights. The day was perfect having booked Via Ferrata in the morning and a beginners climbing experience in the afternoon. The weather was perfect with some stunning views of nearby (and not so nearby) peaks. Our instructor was totally professional and gave us the most amazing day.... Thank you

A fab day with woody doing the via Ferrara route in the slate mine. Would recommend to anyone wanting to push their boundaries and do something a bit different. Also me and my wife particularly enjoyed the fact that it was just us two and an instructor.

Bought the experience for my wife and daughter. They both had a great time saying the windy conditions added to the adventure. They were in safe hands with the instructor.
I would highly recommend mobile adventures for your next adventure.

Had a great experience doing the via ferrata at Honister slate mine with Hayley. We were a small group with just the two of us and our guide. Everything was explained clearly, our guide was really friendly and supportive when needed. Photos were also taken for us which meant we could just focus on having fun.

Did the 3 hour Via Ferrata led by Elton and it was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable guide who is clearly passionate about mountain sport in general. Will definitely be recommending to people I know who are looking to dip their toe into mountain days.

Thanks to John for suggesting this alternative to the rock climbing taster we had booked as the fells were too wet. I had organised for my sons as a 30th birthday celebration and they had a really fun time. 'Pleasantly challenging' and more extreme than they were expecting.

What a fantastic experience, physically demanding but worth every second. Our instructors Matt and Seb were great, very knowledgeable and resuring but above all very friendly. Enjoyed every second and would definitely recommend. Thank you for a fantastic day

I cannot recommend this experience enough! It was so lovely for it to be just me and my partner so we were going at our own pace and didn’t have anybody either slowing us down or waiting for us. The views are stunning and is so fun to complete. Woody our guide was phenomenal and we really enjoyed our time!

Had a great time doing the via ferrata extreme experience. Gary was the best guide ever. He was super patient and motivating. The course is challenging, but a lot of fun. Even though I was terrified at some points, I absolutely loved the experience. Definitely recommend!
