Highlights
Outing Highlights
Full‑power excavator with climate control
Climb into a climate‑controlled cab—heat and A/C—so you can focus on the levers and the dirt rather than the elements while you operate The Hulk.
Expert guidance and real‑time coaching
You’ll be connected to your instructor via a wireless headset; they guide you through control of the two joysticks so even first‑time operators can manage digging, lifting and swinging with precision.
Hands‑on hour in the operator’s seat
The activity includes a brief safety class, a full hour of operating time in the excavator, and a short graduation—putting you behind the controls long enough to learn and practice real machine work.

What the session feels like
The session moves with deliberate pacing: a short safety briefing prepares you for the controls, then you climb into the cab for an intensive hour of operation with an instructor talking you through every movement via wireless headset; the outing closes with a brief graduation. You won’t need a driver’s license—just an appetite for hands‑on work and the chance to feel the scale and responsiveness of heavy machinery.
