Extreme Day Trips (EDTs) have become one of the fastest-growing travel trends—and it’s easy to see why.
Why are Extreme Day Trips so popular?
Because they’re surprisingly simple:
- Fly out on an early morning low-cost flight.
- Return on a late evening flight, avoiding hotel costs altogether.
- Make the most of weekends or days off without using annual leave.
- Spend an entire day exploring somewhere new or enjoying a unique experience.
Most Extreme Day Trips focus on ticking off famous landmarks, busy city streets or popular attractions.
But what if your day trip wasn’t about seeing more…
What if it was about feeling better, enjoying a relaxing Extreme Day Trip?
Fly In. Unwind. Fly Home.
A Scandinavian-style spa experience without leaving the UK.
Nestled on the shores of Lough Macnean in the heart of the Fermanagh Lakelands, Corralea offers something completely different from the typical Extreme Day Trip.
Instead of rushing around museums, shopping districts or tourist hotspots, you’ll spend the day immersed in nature, adventure and deep relaxation.
The result? You’ll arrive home refreshed, restored and reconnected—rather than needing another holiday to recover.
With direct flights to Belfast from Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh and many other UK cities taking around an hour, this peaceful escape is closer than you might think.
Your Fly-In Wellness Day
Your adventure begins with an early flight into Belfast.
Choose to collect a hire car for complete flexibility or arrange a transfer from Belfast International Airport before travelling through the beautiful countryside to Corralea in County Fermanagh.
Your day includes:
Morning Adventure
Choose one of two unforgettable outdoor experiences:
- Canoe across the tranquil waters of Lough Macnean with breathtaking views across the Fermanagh landscape and Cuilcagh Mountain.
Or
- Explore the spectacular Fermanagh Scarplands on one of our Electric bikes, following quiet country roads and scenic trails.
Lunch
Relax in our cosy BBQ hut, where we’ll have the fire lit and ready for your arrival. Simply cook your locally sourced barbecue and enjoy lunch surrounded by nature.
Afternoon Wellness
Then it’s time to slow down.
Enjoy three hours of exclusive use of Corralea’s Forest Eco Spa, featuring:
- A wood-fired lakeside hot tub
- Traditional Nordic sauna
- Cold-water lake dips
- Woodland relaxation pod
We’ll even provide hooded robes and sliders so all you need to do is switch off.
Before you leave, don’t miss the iconic Lough Swing, perfectly positioned with Thur Mountain and Lough Macnean as a back drop, one of the most photographed views at Corralea.
The Perfect Extreme Day Trip
Forget the queues.
Forget the crowds.
Forget racing from one attraction to another.
This is an Extreme Day Trip with a difference—a chance to experience the wild beauty of the Fermanagh Lakelands, enjoy outdoor adventure, unwind in a Scandinavian-inspired lakeside spa, and still be home in your own bed that evening.
Sometimes the best way to make the most of a single day isn’t to pack in more…
It’s to slow down.
