“A lot of fun, guide was lovely and very friendly. Only annoyance was that the app said not to bring valuables when it seemed fine to leave things in car, because of this I didn't bring my phone and couldn't phone when I walked past the pick up point. I didn't lessen my enjoyment but I think the listing could do with being more specific.”

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 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.

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!”
