Direct booking for adventure centres

Take More Direct Bookings From Your Adventure Centre

We build a direct booking website for adventure centres around the booking system you already use. From £2,495, your activities, availability and payments work together, helping you keep more revenue and rely less on GetYourGuide and Viator.

Every booking through GetYourGuide or Viator can cost you typically around 20 to 30 per cent in commission. That money comes out after you have paid instructors, insurance, equipment, premises and other operating costs. Your own website gives customers another route to book, without handing over the whole relationship.

An operator selling around £50,000 a year through those channels could be paying roughly £10,000 to £15,000 in commission. That is a very large sum. Moving even part of that demand onto your own website can pay for the build many times over, while giving you the customer details and repeat booking opportunity.

The problem

What is costing Adventure Centres work right now

Marketplaces take your margin

GetYourGuide and Viator can bring demand, but suppliers typically pay around 20 to 30 per cent per booking. You also lose control of the customer relationship and future repeat visits.

Your booking engine feels hidden

Customers may find your activity page, then struggle to locate availability or the book button. Every extra step creates room for them to leave and search another operator.

Group enquiries lack useful detail

Messages often miss dates, ages, numbers, experience levels and school requirements. Your team then spends time asking basic questions before you can check instructors, equipment and pricing.

The result

What changes once it is live

More bookings come direct

Customers can find your own activity pages, check availability and pay through the booking engine you already use. You keep more of each booking and build your own customer list.

Every activity has a route

Climbing, paddlesports, canyoning, school days and private sessions can each have clear information, prices and next steps. Visitors reach the option that fits their group.

Enquiries arrive ready to price

Forms collect dates, group numbers, ages and requirements before your team replies. You can check capacity and prepare a useful answer without a long email exchange.

01

Your website becomes the hub of every booking

Your website should do more than display a few activity photos. It should bring together your experiences, prices, age limits, meeting points, availability and booking links. A visitor can understand the day out, choose a suitable session and book without waiting for someone to reply. That matters when your team is outside, teaching, guiding or managing equipment.

We build a website for adventure centres around the booking engine you already trust. The site sends customers into the correct activity, date and group size. It can explain instructor ratios, safety requirements, waivers and what to bring before payment. Your staff spend less time answering basic questions, while your website keeps taking bookings outside office hours.

  • Experience and tour pages
  • Availability and book now links
  • Online payments and deposits
  • Activity rules and requirements
  • Mobile-first booking journeys

02

Local search brings nearby adventurers to your activities

People search for activities near the place they are visiting or live. They may search for climbing near Newcastle, family canyoning in Northumberland, school activities near Durham or an outdoor adventure climbing activity in the North East. We build clear pages around those searches, so people can find the right experience before they reach a marketplace.

Your Google Business Profile is part of the work. That is the business listing that appears in Google Maps and local search. We improve its services, photos, booking link, opening information and updates. Your website and listing then point people towards your own booking journey, rather than making a marketplace the first place they see.

  • Local activity pages
  • Destination and location pages
  • Google Business Profile updates
  • Clear map and travel details
  • Pages for families and schools

More detail

More on websites for adventure centres

The rest of what adventure centres ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.

A message saying "How much for a group?" gives your team work, but not enough detail to price the job. We create forms that ask for the information you actually need. That can include group size, ages, preferred dates, activity type, experience level, school requirements and whether the group needs transport or catering.

The form can separate a standard public booking from a private group enquiry. It can collect details about school trips, birthday parties, corporate days and multi-activity visits. You receive a useful brief instead of a string of follow-up emails. Visitors also get a clearer next step, which helps more suitable enquiries become paid bookings.

  • Group size and age fields
  • Preferred dates and session times
  • School and corporate enquiry forms
  • Private hire requests
  • Booking conversion tracking

Adventure customers want to know that the day is well run. They look for signs that instructors are capable, equipment is looked after and groups feel safe. Recent reviews can answer those concerns faster than a long page of claims. They also show the atmosphere, which matters when parents, teachers or organisers are choosing an activity.

We set up a simple review request after a booking or completed visit. The message can send customers to your chosen review platform, while useful feedback can be brought into your website. Reviews can mention instructors, activities and the booking experience. That gives future customers proof from people who have already taken part.

  • Post-visit review requests
  • Review links in follow-up messages
  • Testimonials beside booking options
  • Activity-specific customer proof
  • Google review prompts

Missed calls often happen during the busiest part of a session. Your team may be belaying, driving, checking equipment or briefing a school group. The AI Receptionist answers in your business name, 24 hours a day. It takes the caller's details, asks what activity they need and sorts urgent matters from ordinary enquiries.

It then texts the information to you straight away. You can call back with the right context instead of starting from "How can I help?" It can explain basic information and direct people towards your booking page. The service costs £169 a month, or £199 a month with Website Care included.

  • Answers calls 24 hours a day
  • Uses your business name
  • Collects dates and group details
  • Sorts urgency and enquiry type
  • Texts details to your team

Once your booking journey works properly, Google Ads can put specific activities in front of people ready to book. We can build landing pages for climbing sessions, family adventures, school trips or corporate days. Each page matches the search and gives visitors a clear route to availability, payment or an enquiry.

Google Ads Management is £449 a month. We manage campaigns, bids, budgets, advert wording, unwanted search terms and landing page improvements. Ad spend goes directly to Google and is never marked up by us. Tracking shows which advert clicks became bookings, calls or real group enquiries, rather than leaving you to guess what worked.

  • Activity-specific Google Ads
  • Google Ads landing pages
  • Call and booking tracking
  • Monthly campaign reporting call
  • Ad spend paid direct to Google

Search demand changes through the year. School trips may fill spring and summer, while indoor climbing, birthday parties and gift experiences can support other months. SEO means improving pages so Google can understand and show them for useful searches. Our SEO and Content service costs £249 a month and adds two useful pages or articles each month.

The service also covers local search work, Google Business Profile posts, listings on relevant websites, position tracking and a monthly report. You can add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram for your approval. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and gives you weekly marketing tasks.

  • Two pages or articles monthly
  • Local search improvements
  • Google Business Profile posts
  • Automated Facebook and Instagram posts
  • Weekly marketing plan

Direct Booking costs £2,495. It suits an adventure centre that needs a strong website around its existing booking engine. Booking Growth costs £3,995 and is the option most operators should choose. It gives more room for activity types, location pages, group journeys, stronger search content and lead tracking.

Tourism Pro starts from £5,995 for operators with real inventory and operational complexity. Genuinely bespoke platforms are quoted separately from £10,000. Every project needs Website Care at £59 a month. It includes hosting, security, daily backups, updates, uptime checks, small content changes and email support.

If you want to start without the upfront build cost, the no upfront option is £199 a month for a 24 month term. It includes a template site built for your trade, hosting, care and the AI Receptionist. We confirm the right route after reviewing your activities, booking engine and goals.

  • Direct Booking, £2,495

  • Website Care, £59 a month
  • No upfront option, £199 a month

The honest comparison

Why do some websites cost £199?

It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.

If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.

Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.

Who writes the words

A £199 builder site

You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.

A Look North website

We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.

Whether it shows up on Google

A £199 builder site

It will rank for your business name. Not much else.

A Look North website

A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.

What happens to an enquiry

A £199 builder site

A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.

A Look North website

Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.

When the phone rings and you are on a job

A £199 builder site

It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.

A Look North website

Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.

Knowing what is working

A £199 builder site

A visitor counter, if that.

A Look North website

Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.

Getting reviews

A £199 builder site

You remember to ask, sometimes.

A Look North website

Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.

What happens after launch

A £199 builder site

Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.

A Look North website

The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.

Who owns it

A £199 builder site

The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.

A Look North website

You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.

Speed on a phone

A £199 builder site

Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.

A Look North website

Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.

When something breaks

A £199 builder site

A help centre article and a support queue.

A Look North website

Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.

We have a £199 a month option too. It is not the same thing.

If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.

£199 a month

24 month term, nothing upfront

Start with no upfront cost

What the difference buys

What you actually get for the difference

Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.

01

Every call answered

A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.

02

Found for the work you want

One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.

03

Enquiries you can price

Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.

04

Proof that compounds

A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.

05

Words written for you

Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.

06

Proof of what paid off

Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.

07

A plan for after launch

The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.

08

You own the lot

Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.

If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.

FAQ

Adventure Centres ask us these most

Price, timescales and ownership, answered for a outdoor adventure climbing activity.

Direct Booking costs £2,495, excluding VAT. It is built around the booking system you already use. Booking Growth costs £3,995 and is the option most operators should take when they need more activity pages, group journeys, local search content and tracking. Tourism Pro starts from £5,995. Bespoke platforms are quoted separately from £10,000.
The exact time depends on your activities, content, booking system and approval speed. A focused site with clear information can move quickly. Larger centres need more time for activity rules, group journeys, location pages and testing. We agree the delivery plan before work starts, then show you progress at key stages rather than disappearing until launch.
Website Care is required for every client. It includes hosting, a security certificate, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, uptime monitoring, up to 30 minutes of content changes each month and email support. Adventure centres need this because booking links, payment tools and software must keep working while your team is busy running activities.
Yes. We build the website around the reservation system you already use. We integrate booking engines such as Bokun, FareHarbor, Rezdy, Checkfront, Bookeo and Freetobook. We are not replacing your system unless you want us to. We check the connection, send customers to the right activity and test the booking route before launch.
Yes. We can structure separate pages for climbing, abseiling, paddlesports, canyoning, indoor sessions, school trips, birthday parties and corporate days. Each page can explain suitable ages, group sizes, instructor ratios, equipment, fitness needs, waivers and what to bring. This helps visitors choose correctly and reduces unsuitable bookings reaching your team.
Yes. School and private group bookings often need a different route from standard public sessions. We can create enquiry forms for dates, pupil numbers, ages, activities, teacher requirements and preferred timings. The form gives you enough information to check staffing, equipment and capacity. It can also direct straightforward bookings straight into your existing booking engine.
That depends on the booking engine and payment settings you already use. Where supported, the website can send customers into a booking journey with online payment or deposits. We show prices, availability and payment instructions clearly. We confirm the exact payment flow during planning, so there are no surprises around cancellations or remaining balances.
The AI Receptionist answers every call 24 hours a day in your business name. It takes the caller's name, contact details, dates, group size and activity needs. It can sort urgent matters from ordinary enquiries, then text the details to you immediately. It costs £169 a month, or £199 a month with Website Care included.
We set it up around your activities, opening information and common questions. It can collect details about climbing sessions, school groups, private hire, dates and numbers. It should not replace your qualified instructors or emergency procedures. We make the handover clear, so urgent or specialist matters reach the right person rather than receiving a guessed answer.
Google Ads Management costs £449 a month, excluding VAT. It includes campaign management, bid and budget changes, advert wording tests, unwanted search term control, landing page improvements and a monthly reporting call. Your advert spend is billed separately by Google, paid directly to Google and never marked up by us.
We set up tracking for useful actions such as booking starts, completed bookings, calls and group enquiries. The level of booking tracking depends on what your booking engine allows. We can then report on which clicks created real actions, rather than only showing how many people saw or clicked an advert.
SEO means improving your website so Google can understand and show it for useful searches. At £249 a month, the service includes two pages or articles, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, listings on relevant websites, position tracking and monthly reporting. Pages can target activities, destinations, school trips, family days and quieter seasonal demand.
Yes. We can create a follow-up process that asks customers for a review after their visit. The message can link to your chosen review platform and remind customers while the experience is fresh. We can also place suitable reviews beside activity pages and booking links. You still receive honest feedback, and your team controls how it responds.
You own the website and the content created for your business, subject to the agreed project terms. We provide the hosting, updates and support through Website Care. Your booking engine remains your account and your agreement with that supplier. We can explain access, files and ongoing services clearly before you sign, so ownership is not left unclear.
The monthly services have a 12 month minimum term, then continue monthly thereafter. That applies to Website Care and any other monthly modules you choose. Build payments are 50 per cent on signature and 50 per cent at launch. Modules can be added at any time. All prices exclude VAT, and we set the details out in your proposal.
Yes. The no upfront option costs £199 a month on a 24 month term, with no setup fee. It includes a template website built for your trade, hosting, Website Care and the AI Receptionist. It suits an operator that wants to begin taking direct bookings now without paying the full build cost at the start.
