Sea kayaking with our guides Jet and Alex was sensational. We set sail from Aberporth and headed south along the coast. Jet had a wealth of knowledge, interesting facts and put you at ease straight away. Alex was really friendly and welcoming, he had lots of tips on where else to visit along the coast. They were both very passionate about the experience. We were incredibly lucky to have the company of some dolphins on our expedition. Pure magic ✨ Will absolutely book with this company again.

This was such a relaxing morning learning how to paddle board. Our instructor was great and encouraging. She got us to try fun standing up and sitting down skills. All at a good reasonable price

Adventure is happening again! The break we needed after the lock down. We had a lovely day at Adventure Beyond/Cardigan Bay Active stand up paddleboarding. Great covid procedures, very safe, all the kit is sprayed down after use, instructors deliver a safety brief from a distance. One flat rate per family bubble amazing so glad to know we can still do this and all of the other adventures they offer like kayaking, canoeing and coasteering :) Brilliant thanks guys.
