“Today was an Amazing day held by leader Nick, a great one at that ! Having a small group meant that we could get through the course fairly quick, leaving more time for the big jumps at the end which was great. Nick was informative, assuring, and had a sense of humour which helped divert some of the groups nerves into excitement. A definite revisit for the future !!”

We were met by Zac who was a really cool guy, very knowledgeable and patient. Within a short time we were briefed, kitted out and on the beach, heading into choppy waters for what would turn out to be an awesome experience. We scrambled across the rocks until we reached ledges from which we jumped back into the sea. All in all it was a great activity, and a massive confidence booster to my son. Very professional and I would highly…”

“Cracking winter coasteering trip with Ziggy! He booked us in as a two-person trip pretty last minute; very can-do attitude. The whole experience was perfect, starting in a lovely village and going on foot from there. Wetsuits were more than a match for winter seas! We wanted big jumps and got them, but zero pressure from Ziggy, who just gave us the confidence to jump in knowing he's checked everything out already. I'd happily go back with my kids one day!”
