Guided coasteering near Towan Beach in Newquay, with sea-cave traverses, crystal gully jumps, wild swimming skills, and gear included.
“We booked this and it was great fun for all levels and will challenge anyone. Sean and Oleks were great guides for the tour and made you feel really comfortable with the challenges and coached great. Just so you have an idea the group had family's from 7, teenagers and adults. It was a great afternoon for all with the 2 hour trip taking a total of 3 hours with the prep and getting ready so the activity was actually 2 hours long, making it good value for money.”

Learn to surf in Newquay with a small-group, beginner taster lesson. Toasty wetsuits, foam boards, and step-by-step coaching in about 2 hours.
“The instructors were super friendly/ patient and nice! Although for a beginner class I think it's important to take less students in a group so that the instructor can focus more with each person since it's a completely new activity for some of us. Other than that I recommend the surfing class and I would definitely do it again!”

“I loved this place from day one. The staff were very friendly, very welcoming and the instructors just perfect for the job, they make sure everybody feels at ease, well informed and they are with you communicating throughout the whole two hours.”
Guided SUP lesson and coastal tour around Newquay, with gear included, small groups, and sheltered launches for confident paddling.
“James was a great guide with a real interest and knowledge of wildlife and local history. I would say the Paddleboarding isn’t for the faint hearted actually, and if you’re unfit, even tougher. I was surprised how hard going it was on mildly choppy water, having only done it on still lakes and calm tropical sea before! Falling in with a helmet, life vest, wetsuit and trainers on wasn’t pleasant anlthough appreciate H&S takes priority for any of these businesses. Highlight was seeing an adult seal and a youngster which was totally unexpected. Would probably chose kayaking in future due to fitness level!”

Newquay 2-hour bodyboarding taster with foam boards and expert coaching. Catch white-water fast and progress to green waves.
“Went for a lesson with my nine year old son. Cannot recommend highly enough. We’ve had surf lessons before but this was different level of fun, expertise and individual detailed coaching. My (at the start very poor) bodyboarding was transformed by the brilliant Salvador. As was my son’s - and Salvador pitched the teaching at both of us differently to really help us both get better. I went from catching maybe one in ten waves to basically catching most viable waves going. (And I’m an… erm… big boned… man in his 50s!) Transformational. And just a lot of fun - really relaxed and fun atmosphere. Thank you Salvador! And also…”
By region, by ritual, and by what the weather is doing.
