Norfolk
Secret Norfolk:
A Great Adventure
The best outdoor experiences in Norfolk
Sure, there are big beaches and miles of stunning countryside,
but have you ever seen Norfolk up close? Close enough to
feel the sea salt whip your face or hear the pitter patter of deer
hooves? There are plenty of opportunities to get back to nature
in Norfolk. Make sure you add these activities to your next trip.
North Norfolk Safaris
There’s no need to travel to Africa for a thrilling safari, this is a
real back to nature experience. Hop into the classic Land Rover,
and let the excitement build as you bump across meadows and
splash through water to find close encounters with Norfolk’s
wildlife. Experiences are available for one or two people at a
time, in order not to disturb the habitat or wildlife. Your guide will
take you to remote marshes and hidden hideaways where you’ll
catch a glimpse of owls, hares and more. From autumn to early
spring opt for the ‘Wild Goose Chase’ where you’ll track down
and watch the pink footed geese. Don’t forget your camera!
Price from £80 pp.

are a great way to see the best of the Norfolk Broads. Broads
Tours ferries passengers from Wroxham to Salhouse Broad with
full commentary from the skipper. You’ll learn about points of
interest and wildlife while taking in the stunning scenery. Dogs
are welcome aboard too!

North Norfolk Paddle Boards
Let’s set the scene; the water is gently lapping at your board,
the sky is on fire and there’s only quietness as you watch the
sun dip below the horizon. It’s easy to see why paddleboarding
or SUP as it is also known, has become hugely popular. It’s a
great way to explore the water, and you don’t need to be an
expert. It’s surprisingly easy to stand up and softly paddle along
the marshes. Hire and tours are available at Brancaster Staithe,
Burnham Overy Staithe and Wells-next-the-Sea.
