DAREDEVIL ANTICS THIS SUMMER

Want to test your nerves and try out a new experience in Folkestone and Hythe this season?

We’ve got plenty of things to do for those young and old looking to reach new heights, set records or just have a laugh with family and friends.

Check out 5 fun experiences you can give a go this summer:

UP, UP AND AWAY

If you fancy an aerial view of the stunning Kent countryside and coastline, plus a chance of animal-spotting at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, then hot air balloons are for you.

Climb aboard a wicker basket, thrill as the burners lift you gently off the ground and enjoy the ride as you rise above the skies.

Flights are scheduled at sunrise or sunset when the air is still and calm, allowing you to enjoy this unique experience at the best time.

Companies include Virgin Balloon Flights, Skybus and Kent Ballooning.

DIVE INTO ACTION 

From the skies above, to the grass fields below – it’s time to hit the water for some action-packed aqua excitement.

Action Watersports is family-owned park and water sports venue nestled on a picturesque lake in Lydd, Kent.

They offer a variety of activities including water skiing, wakeboarding, swimming, paddleboarding, and many more experiences.

Get all the details you need for a fab day out in the sunshine here.
