“We were a stag party aged from 20 to mid-fifties and we all really enjoyed our bushcraft day. Informative, fun and we all felt like we got something from the day. Excellent.”

“Teamwork and problem solving activities was the brief given to Essential Adventure and they didn't let us down. A variety of activities delivered in a professional fashion and challenging for our students. A very enjoyable day which our students gained from immensely, discovering their capabilities and how working together can help to overcome problems. We will be booking them again.”

“Great communication and service Matt and the team were always looking for ways to accommodate my ideas for the stag do. They provided 3 proposals and when I needed another quote they never hesitated to provide it. Matt strives for great quality and service and I would really recommend this company.”

“I used Essential Adventure for my best friends stag do in December. I was worried about finding something to do and somewhere to stay between Christmas and New Year (the dates the stag was back in the country). I needn't have worried. I stumbled across Essential Adventure purely by chance and I'm so glad that I did. I spoke with Matt who couldn't have been more helpful. We arranged Zorb Football, hover craft racing and somewhere to stay, all for a fantastic price. Matt was also helpful when a couple of the group had to change plans. I genuinely felt like he cared about our experience. I've since had a work colleague looking to book a hen do for her friends. I pointed her towards Essential Adventure who, I'm told, have sorted everything that they wanted. In short, if you're looking at booking a stag or hen do, USE THIS COMPANY!!! I imagine the same applies to team building days and such. I would not hesitate to use Essential Adventure again and I'll recommend them to anyone looking at organising stag or hen do's etc. Throughly excellent!!”

“Excellent. Most of our group had never tried caving before so did have some reservations, but our guide put us all at ease and quickly realised that we were confident enough to be a little more adventurous once inside. The time went far too quickly, and we did ache a little a day or so afterwards, but it was enormous fun and I would highly recommend caving (and your company).”

“We organised a whole day of activities, caving in the morning and coasteering in the afternoon, for our Explorer Scouts whilst on our Summer Camp. It was an absolutely fantastic day, well organised and set at the right level to be both challenging and fun. Was the highlight of our Summer Camp and would use Essential Adventure again.”

“Everyone was well organised, professional and polite, every step of the booking process. Me and my partner had an amazing time! (We went canoeing, and even though the weather was a bit grey, we thoroughly enjoyed our time) I have already recommended this company to a few of my friends”

“We took a group of young adults to do raft building at Titteswell Reservoir in the Peak District. In terms of beforehand, the phone contact was good with Essential Adventure, our contact at Essential Adventure was always available to answer any queries. And to be fair, we did make the booking quite late on and they were able to accommodate us to our budget. But due to an email that didn't arrive until quite late, there wasn't great clarity until the day before about kit requirements. The actual raft building experience itself was good, the equipment was fine and the instructors friendly, informative and helpful. It would have been nice to have a larger changing facility and shower facility.”

“An excellent day, staged at just the right level. The team were well prepared and able to adjust their plans to suit ours. At the end of the day we felt we had achieved something and would not have any fears in recommending them to others. A great time was had by all.”

“Matt and all the team at Essential Adventure pulled together a wonderful weekend package for our annual Summer retreat. Matt took care of all the details, from catering, camping and facilities to activities and evening entertainment. It was a very detailed brief and he managed to meet it on every level, even coming in under budget! I would recommend Essential Adventure for any team building activities or retreats - they will adapt their packages to suit your organisation and will do their utmost to get a thorough understanding of what it is that you need from them. Our employees are still talking about that weekend and the fun that they had!”

“Me and my partner booked a sea kayak trip, unfortunately I fell very ill just before. Even though I called they day before. essential adventures were amazing and rearranged the trip. Both me and my partner had a fantastic day, our guild was great, with loads of random historical knowledge of the area. We stopped on a remote beach and a picnic was prepared for us and a bottle of champagne. The trip lasted around 6hrs and I can say it was a b#very memorable day and any activity days I want to book I will be using essential adventures.”
