East Coast Adventure is an outdoor activity provider based in Rostrevor, Northern Ireland, offering a range of guided and group experiences on Carlingford Lough and in the Mourne Mountains.
The business runs water-based activities including a social giant paddle boarding session with pier jumping, canoeing combined with banana boat rides, and festival ‘come & try’ sessions on Carlingford Lough. For sea and lake users, these options prioritize group fun, teamwork and accessible thrills for families and youth groups.
On land, East Coast Adventure organises guided hill walking weekends that combine multi-day hikes, meals, and relaxation including sauna and hot tub time. Shorter options include a Mourne Mountain half-day hike exploring local smuggling history and the Brandy Pad, plus the popular Walking With Giants route to Cloughmore for sunrise or sunset views.
Adventure offerings also include structured activities for groups: team games, a climbing tower and archery sessions, mountain bike coaching tailored to skill level, and wet river bouldering at Bloody Bridge River with all necessary gear provided. Many activities are positioned for youth groups, solo travellers joining guided weekends, families, and groups seeking team-building.
