Activities available
Power Boat Manoeuvres

This Norwegian built 16ft, is very stable and very manoeuverable. Its four stroke 20hp Yamaha engine is very torque and ideal for what we do. Many of you will know, our loch is not that big but as part of a teambuilding exercise, or for a group of (disadvantaged) youngsters, it works really well. We've got all the lifejackets required, and two of our instructors have their coxwains 'ticket'.
Orienteering

If you like a good walk in the beautiful countryside of Aberdeenshire, then come along and pick-up one of our orienteering maps. We've got a short course for the youngsters and those looking for a gentle stroll, and a longer course for the fit and keen amongst you.
Rock Climbing

One of the fastest growing sports at the moment, and when you try it, you'll know why. We've built a low level 'bouldering' wall, which doesn't require ropes, and is suitable for all abilities and confidence levels!
Mattrack Powerboards

These powerboards are a stand on, track propelled snow machine that carves through the snow like a snowboard. Ideally to be used as an alternative when the snow is here but can be booked as a separate activity. As is the case when it snows on Deeside the snow gates get closed and you can't get to the slopes so why not come to us and snowboard here!
Rifle Target Shooting
Have a shot with our .22 BSA Hornets compressed air rifles, with both open and telescopic sights. We shoot at a selection of targets within our purpose built shooting range, located within a gully at the edge of our site.
Our indoor activities arena has been completed for some time now, meaning that if the weather is really bad, we can move our shooting range indoors.
Our experienced instructors will ensure that you get the most out of your session and improve beyond your imagination, whilst still keeping you safe and happy. And its suitable for really little ones so is a great activity to include in your children's party.
Archery
Our most ancient and traditional of field sports. We now boast the only fully automatic archery range in Europe, and it's undercover, so is the ideal wet-weather activity. We have a range of bows to suit both right and left handed, traditional recurve long bows and modern compound bows. There's no real age limit for archery as we've got bows for really little children, but equally it's a great activity for adults, in fact, two of our best teambuilding challenges utilise our archery equipment.
Fishing

This part of Scotland has always been a world-class venue, but the mighty River Dee is no place to learn. On our uncrowded loch stocked with good fish, our friendly ghillie/instructor will guide you through the 'gentle art'. With good quality tackle and a stock of 'flies', you'll soon experience the thrill of that first fish!
Quad Bike Trekking
If you've ever longed to get thoroughly mud splattered riding across rough and unstable terrain on a 4 wheel quad bike then this is the activity for you. It's suitable for everyone from the complete beginner to the more experienced rider and we have a range of quad bikes to suit all ages from 8 to 80.
Our 80 acre site on beautiful Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire has a variety of terrain from gentle grassland, to forest tracks, to our extreme 4x4 off road driving course. You'll be amazed at what these quad bikes can get over. And, if you really master the skill, then we'll get you balancing on our quad bike see-saw. Remember, quad bike trekking is an off-road activity - if you?re looking for speed, try our kart racing.
Opposite Steer Driving

Our opposite steer landrover is tremendous good fun. When you steer left - it goes right and vice versa. A really good teambuilding activity when we blindfold the driver, so he/she has to rely on team mates for navigation. A tight interesting course complete with slalom awaits.
Off Road Driving

Our off road driving course will test even the most experienced of motorists. Near vertical hill descents and ascents, water splashes and terrifying traverses. The better you are, the harder we'll make it. But don't worry! Our instructors are really experienced so even if you've never done it before or are a wee bit feart, we'll look after you.
Kart Racing

"Real drivers drive outside"
At Deeside Activity Park we have the only purpose built asphalt kart racing circuit in NE Scotland. We use Bizz 200 racing karts, perfectly balanced and geared for the 375m circuit. Exclusive use for parties as small as 6, with instructors who really know how to drive.
Full safety brief, helmets, track walk and flag recognition before you start, a few practise laps getting to know the machine and the surface. Working up to qualifying timed laps and a place on the grid. Then a series of head to head races, to find a champion!
Digger Manoeuvres

If, as you commute to the office, you've wondered what it's like to drive one of those yellow monsters you see at road works - look no further! 120hp & 8 1/2 tonnes of hydraulic power at your fingertips. Our instructor will guide you through the controls, and very soon you'll be looking to acquire a digger for yourself.
Crossbow
A sort of cross between archery and target shooting, but with very powerful weapons. We utilise our archery range, and after a safety brief from our instructors, along with a helpful tip of two, you'll be surprised at your own success.
Axe Throwing
Firstly, we though this cannot possibly be safe! But we've 'risk assessed' it to death, and we can't find anything! Proper Swedish double axes, are thrown from 20ft, two handed, and the feeling of satisfaction when you connect is fantastic.
Clay Shooting

We shoot in a stunning location, high up over Royal Deeside with views across the valley, using 20 bore shotguns, which are lightweight and easier to handle than the heavier 12 bores. We've also got smaller shotguns so youngsters aged 10 years and up can have a go too.
Try your skills on our compact sporting layout, with a selection of sporting targets including driven, crossing and going away. Our qualified and experienced instructors are used to dealing with all kinds of guests, from the complete beginner to experienced shots.
