Acclimbatize Adventure Activities - Matlock

Absolutely 5 stars. Cannot praise the team enough.
Excellent organisation of the day. Great communication to help us get the most out of the day.
Lovely, interesting, friendly, passionate and genuinely professional staff. Drew and Chris encouraged all the Youth in the group to take part in all activities in a nice gentle and supportive way. We were supplied with waterproofs, safety jackets and helmets. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. The day was very organised, safety equipment was a massive bonus to encourage the group to take part in all activities. Fun, fun and fun waiting for you if you decide to go for this activity.
The activity offered exceptionally good value for money. We went as a group of 18 and could not recommend it highly enough.

I spent a wonderfully couple of hours with both my own, and my sisters young families exploring the beautiful peak district from the perspective of a stream on a gorge scrambling tour hosted by Acclimbatize. Stunning surrounding with plenty of exciting obstacles and challenges to overcome if you are game. Very experienced and knowledgeable guide was very friendly and professional. The highlight of our holiday! Thanks again

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.

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!

A group of 6 of us went and explored. 2 caves around the peak district and our instructor Chris was amazing taking us all out of our comfort zone and given us the best weekend we could've asked for going into the caves and exploring was great even if there was a few squeezers here and there enjoyed every minute would highly recommend.
Thanks Chris and thanks to my team mates for making it a great time xx

🔥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.
