Wanted to say a BIG thank you to you guys for making Phil’s stag weekend in Cardiff something extra special. Everybody’s still raving about the wicked time they had.

Just thought we’d drop you a quick email to say how much our group thoroughly enjoyed our day out Coasteering with Adventures Wales. Seeing the porpoise surface so near us at Fall Bay, just yards from our group is something we will all remember. Special moments. Big thank you. Hopefully I’ll be back, but this time with the family!

Nigel Shepard | Worcester
Loved the Muddy Assault Course session that we combined with the Paintballing. A proper challenge that we were all well up for.

Nick & the guys at The Hanger Gym
Thank you so much Adventures Wales. My family and I did your Rock Climbing Taster day last week with instructor Dean. We learned so much on the day and he showed amazing patience coaching the girls. We’ll definitely be back for another master class !! Thank You.

Gorge Walking with Adventures Wales Review: Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time gorge walking yesterday with our instructor Mark. It was really exciting and the kids loved it! Aching and tired today so it must have been good!

Sarah Lewis
The surf kayaking day at Rest Bay was definitely the groups favourite activity day during our fabulous residential programme. Thank you Adventures.

Ross Greenway, St George Primary School
My husband and I were part of your gorge walking group last week in the Brecon Beacons. I just wanted to say, thank you for a holiday experience in Wales to remember. We had a great time gorge walking or gorge scrambling as you guys call it and it was definitely as exciting and exhilarating as promised.

Excellent – Great Fun! Both Nigel and Aaron were excellent instructors for our full day of surfing and paddleboarding, friendly and keen to help us get the best out of the day.

Mark M, Yorkshire
We had the gorge walking event on Saturday for our stag weekend and wanted to say everyone who attended from my group had a great time. Was an excellent event which kept everyone involved the whole time, our guide was great and the setting was fantastic.

Tobyn Young - Vice President Morgan Stanley | ISG Technology | New York
I’d just like to give some feedback about the surf party I booked with you for four kids. I would highly recommend this to any parent as an excellent alternative party idea. The children absolutely loved it, it was fun, safe and supervised by an excellent instructor (Mark) and 3 of 4 kids were standing up by the end of the lesson.
