About Us
An unrivalled activity centre Outdoor Adventure was set up in 1981 as a small activity centre and will remain that way, enabling us to deliver high quality programmes and holidays and give a very personal experience. This ethos leads to a fun and relaxed atmosphere that benefits everyone and makes it possible to provide consistent quality assurance and value for money. As featured: Click to view images as slideshow A customised approach A major strength of Outdoor Adventure is that we are genuinely flexible. All our programmes and holidays are customised to ensure we deliver what you want and we go to great lengths to make sure you have the best possible experience with us. We cater for all ages and levels of experience and have created an atmosphere in which everyone feels welcome and part of the action. We have developed a diverse range of water and land based activities and by remaining flexible we can get the best from the prevailing weather and sea conditions, so you will never be left disappointed or filling time – if it’s too wet to climb, we’ll go on an amazing sea kayak journey up the coast - no surf will mean a fantastic coasteer!. We always have a great time
Location Outdoor Adventure is situated on the unspoilt, rugged north Cornwall coast. It is easy to get to and only 1hour from the M5 junction at Exeter. The Centre’s setting is incredible. On arrival you will immediately find yourself surrounded by a magnificent, naturally wild, coastal environment. Our cliff-top centre overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and the 10 acres of beautiful Centre grounds have been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest by English Nature and a European area of conservation. Look out across the Atlantic Ocean and feel alive! The centre has the best of both worlds – although it is in a remote and spectacular location Bude is only 4 miles away and there are many attractions in the local area. There is a great choice of clean lifeguard-patrolled Blue Flag beaches and the North Cornwall coast path runs behind the Centre. A pub and club is within a short walking distance and the Eden Project just 40 minutes away.
Keeping it real We are committed to keep the sense of excitement and adventure in outdoor activities and not water things down. This ensures people get the enjoyment, fantastic moments and personal gain from experiencing the real activity in its true environment. We abseil down cliffs not scaffold towers. This is made possible by effective risk management, a wealth of experience and a highly qualified, experienced team of staff.
Our Team We are continually told this is the best bit about Outdoor Adventure. Our staff team are fun to be with, have great people skills, are committed to giving you the best possible experience! They have chosen this to be their carreer. The instructors are highly qualified and have a wealth of experience and most importantly – enjoy what they do. They understand people’s different motivations and learning styles and adapt their sessions and coaching accordingly, ensuring everyone has a rewarding, worthwhile and memorable time with us. Staff qualifications can be viewed here.
