Thrill Seekers’ Guide to Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is a playground for adventure lovers, offering unforgettable outdoor and indoor experiences across forests, coastlines and urban thrill hubs. Kick off your adrenaline-filled journey at Colin Glen, home to Ireland’s longest zipline, where you’ll race above the treetops at incredible speed. For high-octane action on the ground, Todds Leap delivers rugged off-road driving challenges, steep drops and exhilarating tracks that put your driving skills to the test.

If precision and skill are more your style, Archery at The Jungle NI offers expert-led sessions in a beautiful woodland setting. Or enjoy a more effortless but equally scenic adventure on the Electric Escape at Corralea Activity Centre, where e-mountain bikes help you explore Fermanagh’s tranquil lakes and forest trails with ease.

For show-stopping views, take to the skies on the Giant’s Eye View helicopter tour, an incredible North Coast experience with Cutting Edge Helicopters. This aerial adventure showcases world-famous landmarks from a whole new perspective. Back on the ground, keep the adrenaline flowing at Craigavon Golf & Ski Centre, where you can try skiing or snowboarding all year round on the outdoor slope.

If you’re seeking even more thrills, head for the Zip Trekking Experience at Oakfire Adventures, where a series of high forest ziplines and sky-bridges offer the perfect mix of speed and height. Competitive spirits can take to the track at Lyons Karting, while indoor adventurers can challenge themselves on the climbing walls at Clip 'n Climb at High Rise, with routes designed for every level of bravery.

Round off your adventure with two unforgettable water experiences: Scuba diving by Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge with Aquaholics, where underwater exploration meets iconic coastal scenery, and the chance to ride Northern Ireland’s first ever indoor surf simulator at Surf Belfast. Whether you’re climbing, diving, flying or racing, Northern Ireland’s top adventure attractions offer endless ways to challenge yourself and embrace the thrill.
