Both the surfing and coasteering activities I did with my family were led by passionate, engaging and professional staff members. The interaction with my girls during the coasteering was a highlight with gentle encouragement when needed as well as lots of fun facts about the life on the rocks and on the pools. On of the best activity companies we have ever used.

Well organised, with competent, friendly instructors.

We had great fun seal kayaking in the morning and coasteering in the afternoon with Olli and George as instructors. The activities were just at the right level of difficulty for the groups. Both instructors also had great knowledge of of the local flora and fauna which they share in conversation. We were there as a family with our two boys aged 12 and 14, and we all had a fabulous time. May well do a repeat next year!

The area the accommodation is in is beautiful, the valley we walked in and the local beach were virtually empty and full of wild flowers and lovely woodland. Thank you for making our stay so special

Looked after brilliantly

We had a great time. My boys and I were brilliantly looked after, both coasteering and surfing. Safety was clearly a priority for Sam on both occasions, but without negating any enjoyment or the ‘fun’ risk involved. Clear tuition.

Finn was a great instructor, encouraging all of us along the way. He also gave us bonus facts about the surrounding environment and barnacle anatomy. Would definitely come back to try more adventures here.

Our family had an amazing experience with Preseli Venture during July 2022. We sea kayaked and coasteered over two days. Our guides were knowledgeable, patient, fun and professional. The gear was in great condition, the lodge had such a great energy and vibe, and the food was excellent.

We had an amazing experience with half day kayaking and half day surfing. The instructors were friendly, accomodating and knowledgeable. They all clearly love their jobs and that came across during our sessions. We cannot recommend preseli venture enough and would love to come back to have a go at coasteering!

The kayaking and camping was amazing. Ollie and Fin were both very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and were both very encouraging with all people on the trip helping them to improve their skills and challenge themselves. The trip was a good overall length and it was a lot of fun to go between the rocks around the shoreline getting to explore Pembrokeshires rugged coastline. Both Ollie and Fin are excellent ambassadors for Preseli Venture and I cannot thank them enough for taking the trip to the next level!

My daughter and I had a great time coasteering with Tom. We were delighted to see some seals and Tom was able to tell us about some of the sea birds in the area and their nesting and other more unusual habits. For us, it was a great way to spend an afternoon!

We always have a lovely time when we go out with you. It’s obvious that your instructors are experienced, know the terrain and put safety first. But then it’s all about having fun and enjoying the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast.
