HELL & BACK + Splash Zone Combo - Community Groups, Youth Clubs & Others 

Take Your Group on the Ultimate Obstacle and Water Adventure!

If your group is looking for a fun, active day outdoors that builds confidence, encourages teamwork and gives young people a chance to switch off and connect, this is it!

Set across the stunning 800-acre Killruddery Estate, participants will take on a 5-7KM (fitness dependent), instructor-led HELL & BACK obstacle course over 2 hours. Expect forest trails, natural challenges and plenty of laughs as the group supports each other through every section - all at their own pace, with no pressure to compete.

After a well-earned break to relax and refuel, the experience continues with 2 hours in Splash Zone - featuring Pontoon Mania, Splashdown Slide, Kayaking and the Water Jump.

No experience or high fitness levels are needed - just a positive attitude and a willingness to give things a go. It’s the perfect mix of fresh air, movement and fun in a safe and supportive environment.
