OMG what a great hen weekend we had! From all the girls, we just wanted to say a big thank you to Adventures Wales for a fab hen party activity weekend. The hen night out in Cardiff city centre will always be remembered!

Just a short note to say thank you for the fabulous day we had with you on Sunday. Oliver and his friends had a wonderful time and told me afterwards it was the best party they had ever had. They thought the quad biking was brilliant. All the instructors were excellent with the children, being professional, firm but also good fun. I will be recommending a party at your centre to all my friends.

Just a quick note to say a big thank you for Charlie’s laser shooting party on Saturday, he thoroughly enjoyed. One of the boys even said it was the best party he had ever been to in his life

We had the gorge walking with Adventures Wales 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 I believe was in the Brecon Beacons and kept everyone involved the whole time, our gorge walking guide was great and the setting was fantastic. The name of the guide escapes me but please pass on my thanks and this review.

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
Following our quad biking activity yesterday, we wanted to let your team know that we had a really great time. We were impressed with facilities and thought your staff were extremely professional and yet at the same time know how to have a laugh with young people.

White water rafting was definitely the perfect choice for our Cardiff stag trip! Thank you Adventures Wales and staff for a great day

Mark Hanley
Just a quick note to say that all the guys had an awesome experience canyoning on Saturday. Alex the instructor made the day and please pass on our thanks. Fab day as promised and we’ll definitely be back for more canyoning adventures..

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!
