Say yes to new adventures on the Isle of Wight

By Sally - Silversurfer's Editor Mar 27, 2024

Forget the stereotypes and toss aside the notion that the Isle of Wight is just a retirement haven for when you reach a ‘certain age’. So, you’ve hit the fabulous fifty milestone, but who says the fun has to stop there?

Say yes to new adventures

The Isle of Wight is a playground for the young at heart, where age is merely a number and adventure knows no bounds. So whether you want to unleash your inner thrill-seeker or actually, just read a good book on the beach, the Isle of Wight has it all and more.

You can channel your inner Tarzan at Goodleaf Treeclimbing. Not just for the young ‘uns, their popular two hour tree climbing experiences are the perfect introduction to the magical thrill of climbing. Taking place within a small group, there’s no pressure to climb high or even reach the top of the tree; you might just enjoy the unusual experience of sitting on a branch and taking in the beautiful surroundings.

Have you ever walked an alpaca? Well, now’s your chance. Nestled in the heart of the West Wight countryside, West Wight Alpacas and Llamas is home to around 100 alpacas, 23 llamas and many other animals. You can get up close and personal with the alpacas and llamas with a walking experience with stunning views from the top of the farm. Learn more about these amazing creatures with their knowledgeable guides and walk past the birthing field where you might just witness an alpaca birth!If you are craving some high-octane adventure, why not hop aboard a rib and hold on tight as you zip around the iconic landmark of The Needles. Feel the spray of the sea on your face and the thrill of speed as you take in the breathtaking views of this natural wonder from a whole new perspective.

Plus, there are countless hiking trails that crisscross the Island just waiting to be explored. Lace up your walking boots and conquer Tennyson Down, where the rugged cliffs combine with panoramic views to make this one of the most unforgettable hikes on the Island.

Say yes to some R&R

Of course, if you fancy a more leisurely pace, there’s plenty to indulge in on the Isle of Wight as well. Treat yourself to a spot of afternoon tea overlooking the sea, or lose yourself in a good book on one of our many pristine beaches.

After all, age may be just a number, but there’s nothing wrong with a bit of relaxation and indulgence now and then!
