Best fun ever!

Blokarting was one of the best activities we’ve done for a while. Having never done it before I was slightly apprehensive but after comprehensive instructions and a lap or two any apprehensions were blown away. This activity is safe and achievable for all ages. So much fun and excitement! Definitely would recommend it to anyone!

First Blo

First time to Blokart and it was great! A friendly team of safety-conscious professionals took us through the ins-and-outs and then guided us as we weaved in-and-out and around a varied course. It's all about the wind and I had booked for late afternoon wanting a bit more of blast and certainly got that. The karts are very responsive, easy to control, safe and as sail size determines performance the crew will set the kart up with a sail to suit the driver. Definitely want to go back and do this again.

A great experience!

The staff were incredible and supportive - my husband was super confident but I was very nervous and yet we both walked away really stoked with the experience. They are so accommodating and easy to communicate with and I have already recommended this to our family and friends. Can't wait to go back again!
