Marvellous, magical and overwhelmingly merry, explore more of how you can celebrate the Christmas season this year alongside your colleagues:
Adventure Pursuits
For those who love a thrill, and also don’t mind travelling up the odd hill, it's an experience centred around adventure that is sure to fulfil. Ascending the picturesque Arthurs Seat, Enchanted Adventure: The Home Of Tree Surfing stands as one of the most admired outdoor fun attractions across the region. Boneo Discovery Park in Fingal also has an array of exciting art, nature and play experiences and caters for all those young at heart!
Meandering back to the coastline is where you and the team can set out on an unforgettable marine expedition. Time to meet some of the most iconic underwater animals on the MP? We think yes! Departing from Sorrento, Dolphin Swim adventures are standout group-focused experiences, and will undoubtedly be something your colleagues cherish indefinitely. Charter cruises, group stand-up paddle boarding and even fishing trips are additional aquatic experiences which match perfectly with the summer weather of Christmastime.
Unleash the inner-adventurer, and make countless new memories with your colleagues here.
