Located beside our abseil tower, this hillside track boasts seven exhilarating bends and straights. The sportscar-styled single seaters have adjustable seats and are suitable for approx 11 year olds upwards, while the double seaters can accommodate an adult and child; subject to height restrictions, children as young as 5 years old can participate. All Trabolgan Adventure Sports are supervised by professionally trained and fully qualified instructors, so why not be brave and take the plunge?

Abseiling – Learn to make a controlled descent on our purpose built tower in a friendly group environment. Dress for the weather. No sandals or platform shoes please. Long hair needs to be tied back and all jewellery removed before the activity. Helmets and harnesses are supplied, as is instruction and supervision by fully qualified instructors. Minimum age for this activity is 6 years old. There are a maximum of twelve participants allowed (where two participants abseil at a time) per 1 ½ hour session. The price is €7 per person per session.

Climbing – All TAS activities are designed to be an introduction to the activity for people who have never tried it before. On a climbing session at Trabolgan you will learn some of the basic skills and techniques needed to climb. A climbing session is a fun activity based on reaching your own personal goals. Dress for the weather. No sandals or platform shoes please. Long hair needs to be tied back and all jewellery removed before the activity. Helmets and harnesses are supplied, as is instruction and supervision by fully qualified instructors. Minimum age for this activity is 6 years old. There are a maximum of twelve participants allowed (where two participants abseil at a time) per 1 ½ hour session. The price is €7 per person per session.

Zip wire (Also known as ‘flying fox’) – This is a ‘pay and play’ activity, meaning that this activity will be open during certain times and there is no pre booking facility. You can arrive during the open times and buy your ticket to go on the zip wire then. Clothing requirements are the same as Abseiling and Climbing. The minimum age for this activity is 6 years old. The price is €7 per person for one go on this exciting adrenalin rush activity.

Quad biking – This is also a ‘pay and play’ activity. We run two age groups for quad bikes: 8yrs – 11yrs on one track and 12yrs – 17yrs on another track. This activity is designed to be a skills course rather than a racing track. Participants are taught to negotiate the track in a controlled and skilful manner. The age restrictions are strictly adhered to, as are the clothing requirements. Long trousers, long sleeved tops and closed shoes (no sandals or platform shoes) are required. Helmets, goggles and gloves are supplied. The price is €7 per person per six minute go on the bikes.

Archery – Designed to be a fun introduction to this sport. Everyone on this activity should be able to hit the target comfortably by the end of the session. Long sleeved tops and closed shoes are required for this activity. The minimum age for Archery is 8yrs and the price for this 1 ½ hour session is €7 per person and there is a maximum of twelve participants per session. (Groups of 4 participants play in rotation)

Aeroball – A very energetic activity that is great fun. A cross between basketball and volleyball on a trampoline. You have to try it to understand it. Long trousers, long sleeves and closed shoes are essential for this activity. A maximum of twelve participants are allowed and the minimum age for this is 6yrs old. The price for this 1 ½ hour session is €5 per person. (Groups of 4 participants play in rotation)

Snorkelling – Held at the swimming pool, this activity takes place at 9.00am on scheduled days. The session lasts 1 ½ hours and there is a maximum of twelve participants per session. All participants must be able to swim confidently before attempting this activity and have a completed medical declaration form (issued at time of booking) with them at the pool or they will not be allowed to take part. You must bring your own swimming costume and towel. You will need €1 for the locker (this is refundable). Snorkels and masks are supplied. The minimum age for snorkelling is 8yrs. The price for a snorkelling session is €7 per person.

Karting – This is a ‘pay and play’ activity with single seat karts and double seat karts available. If a child is too small to be able to fit properly into a single seat kart then an adult can drive them in a double seat kart. There is a height restriction and not an age restriction for the karts, but as a rough guide, 11yrs old would be about the minimum age that could fit into our karts. Goggles are provided and we recommend long trousers and long sleeves to drive in the karts but the minimum clothing requirement is for shorts and
t -shirt. Closed shoes are required (no sandals or platform shoes). The price is €7 per kart. Each Go kart session has approx. 5 minute duration.
