Plan your visit
Thirty-plus activities on water and land
On the water you can try canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, dinghy sailing, windsurfing, towable banana rides and the inflatable Wibit water park out on the lough. On land there's archery, rock climbing on indoor and outdoor walls, bush craft and Combat Corps laser tag. You don't do all of it in one go: you build a programme of the activities you want and an instructor runs each session. It's the inflatable water park and the towable rides that kids tend to remember, but the calmer paddling sessions on Upper Lough Erne are a gentler way in for younger or nervous children.
