The Isle of Wight Cottages offer guests a clean and comfortable stay during their vacations. Here are some outdoor attractions that should not be given 
a miss during your Isle of Wight holidays.

Butterfly Paragliding School

Visit the Butterfly Paragliding School, located at The Terrace in Chale. The Butterfly Paragliding School happens to be the oldest paragliding school in the UK and is known for its great safety record and personal attention. Be sure to leave the Isle of Wight cottages early to ensure that you don’t get too much of the afternoon sun.  You can choose to go Tandem Paragliding if you just feel like enjoying the ride. Or, you could even get personal lessons on tow launch and hill soaring. You will also be shown the interactive weight shift paragliding flight simulator, which you will be allowed to practice on. A visit to the famous Butterfly Paragliding School is a must during your Isle of Wight Holidays. It’s a perfect way to spend a fun day in Isle of Wight with the entire family or your group of friends.

Wight Llama Trek

Ever fancied a walk on the wild side accompanied by Llamas? Well, now you can actually go for a llama trek along with your friends or family. Young as well as older kids will also love this trek, as some of the treks are tailor-made for very small children. As part of the trek, you will be taken along for a beautiful walk in West Wight, where you will get to take in the magnificent view of the Isle of Wight, the sea and the famous Needles. And, you will never be alone, for you will have the company of your own llama. The Sunset and Champagne Trek that lasts for 1 and half hour is worth it during your Isle of Wight holidays. Be sure to make your booking for the Wight Llama Trek in advance from the Isle of Wight cottages. You can also choose to buy souvenirs like llama necklaces and pottery. Gift vouchers are also available at the Wight Llama Trek centre.
