“A friendly and well run outdoor activity centre.”

Reviewed 14 March 2013 via mobile

We booked in for a full activity day for my sister's 30th. I've been once before and enjoyed my days kayaking, so I was interested to try out the other activities. I was a tad underwhelmed to hear that our canoeing had been cancelled due to poor weather and substituted for mountain biking! However, it turned out that this was... More

“A great day mountain biking”

Reviewed 2 November 2012

The centre has a variety of acticities to offer, we decided to do a half day mountain biking. The bikes were great, and the trails were nicely varied, well sign posted and reasonably accessible. The staff were very helpful and friendly and it is a beautiful location to pass a day in the fresh air.

“Strangford Sea Safari”

Reviewed 5 September 2012

We really won the prize when we went on the Sea Safari. From the moment we met Andy, our boat pilot, to we left we had a brilliant experience. All the safety gear was provided, even for the larger gents among us,and the RIB was waiting ready to go. Our pilot Andy pointed out and fully explained all the points... More

“bikes and archery”

Reviewed 3 September 2012

We rented a bike and kid's trailer, and also booked in for a family archery session. James sorted both of these out, and was just great. In particular, he was really lovely with the kids during archery, making sure they got a lot out of the session.

“Sea Safari Spectacular”

Reviewed 5 August 2012

With a family party of twelve our best option was a private charter for the Strangford 'whirlpool' sea safari. The experience was an excellent one! And this is saying something given that the family is almost local and knows these shores very well. With ages ranging from 4 to 77, we can thoroughly recommend the service and attention to detail...

“Fantastic birthday party!”

Reviewed 28 July 2012 via mobile

We brought our daughter with 10 friends here today. We had never been before and wanted something different for her birthday. What a fantastic day. Our hosts were Emma and Davy and they were beyond brilliant. Great patience with our youngest (age 7) and good craic with everyone. We did archery and canoeing and everyone enjoyed both immensely. They taught... More

“Clearsky Experience”

Reviewed 21 July 2012

We were staying at the wonderful Potter's Cottage on the Castle Ward estate and this was right next to Clearsky. The team there are incredibly positive and helpful and took us through the challenges of archery and crate stacking (too difficult to explain but beat 21 crates if you dare). The highlight was a sea safari out to see the... More
