Welcome home! The Island is one of the newest, biggest and state-of-the-art bouldering gyms in the Benelux region. We pride ourselves in creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We offer fun and challenging boulders for every level, so you can experience firsthand exactly how fun bouldering can be. We hope to see you soon!
Climbing is one of the most natural movements for our bodies, just like running or swimming. Bouldering is the most accessible type of climbing. Unlike rope-climbing, with bouldering you climb on a relatively short wall (between 3 and 4,5 meters) and instead of a rope to catch you, you land on a large mat below. This means you don’t need to do courses, you can start climbing right away. The aim is to get to the top, but you have to figure out the best way (and there’s never just one method). It's like a puzzle for your body. It is crazy fun, but be careful, it can be a little addicting.
Bouldering is the funnest way to get fit because it is not just a physical activity, it is also a social activity. You can bring your friends or make new ones. Our gyms are characterized by our welcoming and relaxed atmospheres, something we try to actively facilitate with a helpful and enthusiastic crew, cool music, and a chill bar and lounge area.
The Island is one of the newest, largest and state-of-the-art bouldering gyms in the Benelux region. We have over 120 boulders in all levels (ranging from 2 to 7C+). You’ll never get bored because each week we make 30 new boulders. Bouldering in the Island truly keeps being fun and challenging. Moreover, our setting team (the guys and girls that build new boulders every week) is made up of some super experienced setters, who also set for national competitions. They keep coming up with cool new challenges, but also set really fun and creative climbs at all levels. The easiest levels are specifically made so you can reach the top, even if it is your very first time.
We also offer various courses. If you are an experienced climber or have only just started, we have the course that will help you improve your climbing. Moreover, we offer special packages for kids’ parties, company outings and schools. Check out our ‘groups’ page for more info.
To come bouldering, you have to be at least 8 years old (with supervision of a parent), or at least 12 (without supervision). Getting started is super easy. You don’t need a certification, that means you are ready to start bouldering right away. If it is your very first time, we will explain the basic bouldering and safety rules, show you how to get started and give you a couple of tips. Once you top your first boulder, you’ll be hooked.
