- 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

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Kids (13 yr old and twins 11) had a wonderful time climbing. They go climbing indoors but have never climbed outdoors. John spent lots of time explaining actually how to climb, showing them how to tie the knots and how to work together so one could climb and the others could hold the rope safely. All were thrilled with the actual climbing, spent ages doing 2 different climbs - and all took different routes with Johns encouragement. It was the best day of the holiday and we would definitely book again! In fact they want to come to the Lakes just to do more of the Mobile Adventure activities... Definitely recommend!

Our family ranged from ages 12, 15, 22, 25 and 40 odd. As you can imagine we find it difficult to find an activity which we can all participate it, enjoy and dosen’t cost a small fortune! However Rock Climbing with mobile adventures definitely catered for us all. We all had a great time. John the guide kept us entertained with his sharp wit, which allowed us all to feel at ease. We were given all the gear and with clear instructions had an enjoyable day and learned a new skill. Definitely would recommend

Used mobile adventures 2 years ago for Scrambling and was very impressed then with the level of professionalism and knowledge shown by John. This year we added rock climbing to our list (along with Ghyll scrambling again). Both were excellent full mornings of adrenaline packed entertainment. My nine year and fourteen year old daughters loved it. There are a lot of choices in the Lakes for this kind of thing but I would not consider using anyone else.

Fantastic time! Weather looked like it was going to spoil plans but John found the perfect spot to try out climbing. Communication was 1st class from booking to the actual day of climbing. John was helpful, patient and informative and we really enjoyed our morning. We would definitely use this company again! Thanks so much!

We took the Rock Climbing Taster and loved it.
Booking via Tripadvisor was very easy and John was in touch with us very soon afterwards. All the relevant info was sent to us in good time. The rendezvous at the climbing site was clearly set out and easy to get to.
John was welcoming, reassuring, and set everyone at ease with his humour and relaxed delivery of all the things we needed to know to get started.
The climbs were across 3 different lines on a rock face about 10-12m high with varying challenges. If you've never climbed before and fancy a go this is a great way to try!
We were lucky with sunny weather and a mild day, hopefully you will be just as lucky.
We definitely recommend it and is well worth the time and money.
Be sure to take pics while you are there. John took some on the day so we didn't bother. But only one of us appeared on the fringes of one pic out of seven he uploaded later. A shame but not a showstopper!!
