5.00It was an excellent activity, even though the wind was against us. Got see a couple seals and managed a little bit of snorkelling. Rudi was a brilliant guide and provided us with some interesting factoids about the cliffs and caves.

5.00We had an amazing time on our giant kayaking and snorkeling tour with Heath! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and easy. The kayaking was such a unique way to explore, and the snorkeling was incredible—we even got to see two seals up close! It was definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend Heath if you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure.
Perfect experience, even for none swimmers.

5.00I was walking by when in the corner of my eye I noticed a vibrant atmosphere. After asking 101 question, about what they do . I walked away. However, I am a person who likes to change myself , I called them asked another 101 question and booked. I dont swim well, neither did one of the children who were 9 . We arrived and the team was amazing, suited us up, lots of advice and a safe talk. We got to the sea and I thought what have I done !!!! It was a bit rough there were plenty of waves. We were all party of 6. 3 adults and 3 children aged 11 and 9 I was so nervous, we got on the super sub and off we went. It was a complete disaster. The waves were big and we were going no where fast. This also might be down to the fact we were laughing so much. Again nothing to worry about. The team pulled us in to our first cove, where it was calmer. All the boys jumped in and went snorkeling. They went into the dragons den/ cave. The knowledge of the guides were good. Story's and legends were told. I myself get totally sea sick and was by now questioning why I had booked it, and going a bit green. However, once again the guides sat me on the rocks . They adapted the experience to each individual. On to our second cove. We seen a pup/ baby sea lion. Again we were told to be respectful and given some knowledge about the family that live there. Loads of fun was had, if you are not good in water/ the sea please don't let this stop you!!!! These guys are amazing and made a very special day into a memory. They also take photos and videos free of charge.

5.00Amazing experience! Originally, we booked the family kayaking but unfortunately the weather wasn't accommodating and we were offered the giant SUP instead, so so glad we were!! Our instructor was James, he was amazing, giving great knowledge of the sea life and geographical surroundings. He made sure we had fun at our individual comfort levels. We had a variation in ages from 61years to 5years and different skill levels, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we can't wait to book for next year already! Absolutely 100% recommended if your in Newquay and the surrounding areas.
Great activity due to a great team

5.00We went as a family of 8 and we all fit on the super SUP without much trouble. We paddled along the coast and into caverns as our guide Oleks gave us information on the history of the coast and made the trip incredibly fun. Would highly recommend.

5.00We had an absolutely amazing time out on the water with Amy as our Super SUP instructor! She created such a relaxed, fun, and welcoming atmosphere while keeping everything safe and well-organized. The session wasn’t just entertaining — it was genuinely educational too. Amy helped us build confidence on the board, taught us useful paddling tips, and even shared interesting facts about the area. One of the highlights was spotting a seal 🦭during the trip — such a special moment! 😃 And to top it all off, we witnessed a natural blowhole phenomenon, where water sprayed out of a rock formation due to pressure — so unexpected and unforgettable! 🌊🤩 We even had a little swim near the Super SUP! We're not confident swimmers🙈😅, but we felt completely safe with the buoyancy vests on and Amy nearby — it was a fun and freeing moment we didn’t expect to enjoy so much! ☺️ Amy went above and beyond by taking lots of brilliant photos and videos of us throughout, so we’ll always have those memories to look back on. 😍 Thank you, Amy, for your kindness, energy, and passion — this was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We’d 100% love to do it again! 🥰😉👍
