"My recent experience at the New Forest Activities trying archery was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, it was an absolute blast. The instructor was patient and skilled, making it easy for beginners like me to archery. I was surprised by how much fun archery turned out to be, and I can't wait to come back for another round. If you're looking for..." Read more

"We had a great time doing archery as a couple for the first time. The group was small enough that we had a target each for the whole session so feel we got our money’s worth. The team were very flexible with us rebooking our session."

The river was lovely and quiet, and utterly beautiful. Chris shared some really interesting facts about the river as we explored. The location is great, changing ro..." Read more

"We have been to New Forest Activities 3 times now. Last year we did laser tag and my boys (then 12&11) said it was the best laser tag they’ve ever been to! So we booked again this year and then they also tested their aim with archery! The laser tag was ‘even better’ than they remembered, and the archery was 17 out of 10 from the now 12 year old, who although..." Read more

"Great company to deal with. We needed to reschedule our booking, which was handled incredibly quick and easily and without quibble. Hire of the bikes was equally easy and the staff were super helpful and able to recommend routes that matched our abilities and interests. Would happily hire from them again."

"We loved our family canoe experience on the Beaulieu River. Toby was an excellent guide, really fun, full of knowledge and great at the cat-herding aspect of keeping three canoes full of novices vaguely together! My 7 year old was thrilled to touch the jellyfish and even spot Sid the seal! A real highlight of our trip to the New Forest."
