Acclimbatize Adventure Activities - Matlock

Acclimbatize ran a brilliant beginner canoeing for my friend's 50th birthday. We had the best time, a mix of peaceful paddling and some very small beginner friendly "rapids". Lots of laughing and just a lovely time had by all. Our instructor Sheldon was brilliant, and it was great to get photos and videos of our escapades. Would go again! Thanks Sheldon and Sam 😊

Tom and Neil took our Scout Group climbing and mine exploring. Absolutely fantastic day! Really enjoyable, they did a brilliant job of giving the Scouts a good level of challenge while encouraging and supporting them to make it all achievable. They all let with a real sense of accomplishment and some great memories. Really engaging and safety was paramount. Top work and a top day out.

🔥Absolutely amazing!! 💯 would recommend!

Chris was an excellent guide leading us through the Snake Pass gorge. We had such a wonderful time making our way through the winding stream, navigating pools, scaling small waterfalls.

Chris was very knowledgeable about the area and was super friendly! He took many pictures for us and though we did run a little late he was very accommodating.

Thank you Chris and Acclimbatize! ^_^

Learned so much!
We took a 2 day learn to lead climbing course with Daryl and the team.
After learning about the equipment, knots and how to rig the climb we were ready to setup and climb our own route.
A full action packed couple of days which left us confident to go and try what we have learned on our own.
Great tuition, always felt safe and great value too. Thanks again for taking us out and giving us the skills and confidence to improve our climbing and go it alone.

Such a fun trip out canoeing on the Derwent! A surprise for my husband's birthday, he enjoyed it so much and was smiling for the rest of the day. Sam and Chris were really welcoming and Chris taught us well as we moved down the river towards Matlock Bath. I'd 100% do this again and recommend to anyone else - such a new way to see the local area and wildlife too. We saw a Kingfisher!

I recently took part in a full day of vertical caving. Chris, our main guide, and Aaron, who was building experience towards being a group leader, were both friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about caving.

They explained the geology of the two caves we went down and how people have used them in the past. This gave me a deeper appreciation of the unique environment, which I felt rounded out the day.

The experience lasted the full day (09:15-17:00) and consisted of going down two caves, each of which had its own character and feel. Both of the caves were superb choices as it was my first time caving. The first cave offered an appreciable amount of rope work and the second cave offered a chance for crawling and squeezing. Each cave was a good challenge, but was perfectly suitable for beginners.

The entire day offered exceptionally good value for money. I went as part of a group of two and we were surprised when Chris informed us we were the only ones. Considering both of us thoroughly enjoyed it, the skills and knowledge demonstrated by Chris and Aaron, the excellent choices of caves and the fact that the experience lasts the full day, I am still utterly blown away.

My sisters & I recently took part in a canoeing morning, in Matlock. We were supplied with waterproofs, safety jackets and helmets and a good safety talk and lesson in how to control the canoe. Luckily for us the British weather didn’t let us down & the sun came out! We had a superb time with our guide Sheldon, navigating relaxing waterways and a few rapids. A personal thank you to you Sheldon for making our morning so special and for all the videos. I would highly recommend booking a trip with these guys.
