I did the coasteering session with my daughters and loved it. It was so immersive and really fun and the leader was very calm, reassuring and we felt in safe hands with him. He was great with my kids. Saw lots of wildlife up close and it was just brilliant. Will definitely recommend to friends and go again.

Wonderful solo surfing lesson with Josh this weekend. Really knowledgeable and friendly instructor. Never been on a board prior and managed some waves standing up by the end of the 2 hours. I will definitely coming back, thanks Josh!

We had the coasteering experience with Josh, our guide, and it was amazing! Josh was patient, paced the entire experience very well, and was experienced. We had our 10yo with us and he was well guided to do all the challenges and cliff jumps safely. Definitely well worth it!

Lovely surf spot! Waves here are great. I’ve come twice, once booking with an instructor and once just renting equipment. The process here is very straight forward and simple. The instructor was great. Very kind and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable, not intimidated or overwhelmed. Renting gear here was also great. The bodysuits are excellent! Can also rent hat and gloves as well. There’s changing rooms, bathrooms, and nice warm showers available. The staff here are really nice. Definitely recommend! Car park here is big but you do need to pay through the app.
