I’ve spent over 20 years helping people do something they don’t do nearly enough: unplug, get outside, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive. As a white-water kayaker, retained firefighter, father and founder of New Forest Activities, nature has always been where I do my best thinking, my best connecting, and my best living. It turns out, that’s true for most people. They just need the opportunity.

Based on Beaulieu Estate, we’ve been delivering outdoor experiences in one of England’s most beautiful National Parks since 2003. Families, school groups, stag and hen parties, kids’ birthday parties, youth organisations and business teams: we work with all of them.

Whether that’s canoeing and kayaking on the river, archery and bushcraft in the woods, laser tag battles through the trees, or a ropes course that quietly challenges even the most confident adults, we create experiences that people genuinely talk about for years.

We’ve built this business on one belief: that shared experiences in the natural world bring out the best in people. If you’re looking for something genuinely memorable for your team, your family, your school or your group, come and find us in the New Forest.
