Testimonials

Customers Love Us

We will definitely be back for more!

A Huge thanks to Adam and the team for hosting an amazing End of Financial year event. We had six different events from 6 different companies running at the same time and East Coast Xperiences definitely came out on top. Those who participated loved it and those who choose a different activity were jealous of those who got to zip around with Segway Seglympics and shoot Laser Clay Shooting!
We will definitely be back for more!

They couldn’t stop raving about how good the activities were.

Our leadership team are not always easily impressed however after a morning of laser clay shooting and riding the segways doing the “Seglympics”, they couldn’t stop raving about how good the activities were. Thank you to the team at East Coast Xperiences for a great team building experience.

By far, the best team building activity we have ever undertaken.

As you could probably tell, we had such a blast on the Segways – everyone was talking about it for days afterwards. By far, the best team building activity we have ever undertaken. I want to say thank you to both you and your team for putting together such a great afternoon.

We had a fabulous day on Friday, it was exactly what everyone needed.

We had a fabulous day on Friday, it was exactly what everyone needed – to get outside and let off some steam.  The guys all had a great time, and in terms of team spirit and collaboration – it was perfect. Your staff were all fantastic and your organisation in the lead up to and at the event was wonderful, we couldn’t have done it without you.

The team absolutely loved it!

Once again thank you to East Coast Xperiences for another fabulous event, the team absolutely loved it! After all the laughs we had during Segway Olympics last time we weren’t sure we would be able to top it but Axe Throwing & Archery proved to have exceeded our expectations.
