Amazing Experience
Wow - What an afternoon!
Booking was easy, friendly and professional. Finding the team in Newquay was also easy and whilst we arrived really early, they made us feel really welcome and even sorted us out with a coffee.
As a seasoned Skydiver I was not thinking this would test my adrenal gland at all - How wrong I was....Brilliant fun, plenty of excitement and a real rush from start to finish. Our guides were friendly and very good.
I went with my 17 year old and my 12 year old. Both are girls and I spent the first 15 minutes staying close to them in the water but It was very clear they were in excellent hands and I had absolutely no worries for their care or safety. It really was a superb adventure and I cannot recommend highly enough!
Vertical Descents Amazing!!
We would both 100% recommend this experience these guys are great!
Great family activity.
We all got taken out of our comfort zones in different ways and felt very proud afterwards. Even had some photos and video footage take of us all jumping in.
The sea that day was bounce which made for some dramatic moments and a very fun day. Our guide was a very strong swimmer and helped tow our youngest around the corner as it wasn't that easy swimming in all the gear, which was provided.
Thank you so much.
A highlight of our holiday to Cornwall.
If you want a morning full of fun, laughter, challenges and a sense of achievement then don't hesitate to book! We will be back!
Great Extreme Coasteering Experience
Great experience in the wash - very friendly and organised, had a good laugh along the way and felt safe at all times!
Really recommend these guys if you are up for a challenge and adventure!
Sam and Scott made us all feel safe taking part and showed us round some amazing caves, holes in rocks that we could swim through and we did a load of cliff jumping too. We were even fortunate to see a seal so keep your eyes peeled if you go! One of the highlights of our trip and I'd definitely recommend.
