      November University Surf Trip
      Just got back from a surf weekend with the Newquay Activity Centre, doing 8 hours of surfing over Saturday and Sunday. We were a large group of 24 university students, yet they made the entire process seem-less, and gave us great discounts on the surf lessons, so many thanks to Dan for helping us organise all of this. The surf instructors were also great, being very passionate and ensuring everyone was kept safe. We really liked how they separated the more experienced surfers from the beginners, allowing everyone to improve at a level right for them! The addition of getting surf photography included is one of the greatest reasons to choose the NAC, so you can flex on your friends and social media about how you’re now a surfer! We’ll 100% be back for more lessons in the future.

      Excellent experience
      My group and I had an excellent experience taking 4 beginner surf lessons this weekend. Half of our group had never surfed before, but were given all the support they needed to start. Our instructors, Oleks and Alex made the experience safe and fun. They were very personable and answered all my questions and gave tips on how to improve. The instructors were also constantly supervising us, ensuring our safety. I ended this trip feeling much more confident about surfing! Would recommend.

      Amazing!!
      I would highly recommend participating in anything Newquay Activity Centre has to offer, after just completing the intensive surf instructor course I only have good things to say! The team there are fantastic, super friendly and helpful, especially Jacob our course leader, who managed to organise and run the entire course, he made us all feel super comfortable and thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Alan, Simon and Alex were also great fun and so so helpful.

      Many thanks to James the instructor for showing me the important lessons on kayaking.
      The views are amazing specially when you go In the caves. As I’m kayaking around the coast the instructor James gave me a little history. Really enjoyed it and would recommend anyone to use this service if they’ve never been kayaking on sea before. Thank you James

      Fantastic trip with Sean around Newquay, shut on a Sunday but went out of their way to accommodate my 40th which happened to be a Sunday. Sean is very knowledgeable with the local area, and great company. Really recommend. Can’t thank them enough.

      Private Bodyboarding lesson
      Two of us had a private Bodyboarding lesson with James, very enjoyable time. James is very knowledgeable and gave us lots of tips about how to get the best position on the board and to get the most out of the waves, really good couple of hours. Would recommend it to anyone who wishes to advance or learn. Thanks Newquay activity center & thank you James for a very enjoyable and memorable experience.

      I WILL GO BACK AGAIN ☺️ It was such a great experience. Sean was full of energy and answered our questions. We good guide and we had so much fun. Thank you so much. This was second time I went back to the. Everyone we travel to Cornwall I go to them first as they are fantastic for all they offer. Also warm shower at the back of the shop I would make a small suggestion of getting different size snorkel mask for anyone with smaller face also ask people to wear shoes on the walk to the snorkelling spot.

    Absolutely fantastic experience, Sarah our guide and Rosie our photographer/guide really took great care with our group and made it fun for our mixed age group and really built the confidence of the youngsters to the point where they were jumping in first!
    We got lucky with the weather and have some amazing photos of the experience and we even got to see one of resident seals!
    I've wanted to do this for years and it more than lived up to expectations. Our group had a 7 and 10 year old plus 4 adults and was worth every penny, thank you so much to all involved but especially Dan on the emails and of course Sarah who lead the group and Rosie who captured it brilliantly

    Newquay Activity Centre provides an intro session for £55 which, whilst a couple of us had done Coasteering before, we enjoyed thoroughly. We'd 100% do another session with them and would go for the more expensive next-level experience they mentioned to see how it compares. Our guides were great and made us feel safe throughout and we finished off with some higher jumps where there was a gradient if jumps so that there was something for everyone.

    It wasn't just about the jumps, but also the traversing (low level rock climbing) swimming between the sites and going into some of the cave spaces.

    Everything was a short walk from the Actuvity Centre and we enjoyed a warm shower afterwards though the sea was good and warm and we didn't need all the extra layers we'd brought for afterwards.

    If you're thinking of doing it before you leave for your holiday, take some beaten up trainers, though the ones we hired were great.

    I did Adventure Gulley Coasteering with my teenage son in Aug ‘23. Our instructor, Jacob, was fantastic - ensuring our safety, excellent guidance and making the whole experience great fun. It was in no small part due to his help and encouragement that our whole group completed all the jumps as he was very reassuring to those who were a little more nervous. I’d highly recommend this particular trip for those who’ve not done coasteering before. It starts very gently and gradually builds to a final jump of around 9m. There’s bits of scrambling and traversing, but nothing too tricky. Highly recommended Newquay Activity Centre and Jacob as an instructor.

    Absolutely awesome experience

    Sarah at Newquay Activity Centre provided an absolutely unforgettable experience during our Adventure Gully activities! From start to finish, she was outstandingly good, exuding a perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism. Sarah expertly guided us to the best spot for our dives and ensured our safety while we swam to the cave where we witnessed the breathtaking Dragon Stone. Her knowledge and passion truly shone through, making the adventure both exhilarating and safe. I can't recommend Sarah highly enough – she made our day one to remember! Five stars!

    Our experience with Newquay Activity Centre was easily one of the highlights of our whole Cornwall holiday. We wanted to explore the Cornish coast, induce some adrenaline, and try something a little different during our trip, which NAC’s kayak and coasteering package definitely delivered on.

    Everything from booking through to the activity was so pleasant and well managed. We booked over the phone as we had some questions and the staff were very helpful, advising us on the best time of day to get the most out of the experience and making sure we were on the best package for what we wanted.

    Arriving at the centre, the amenities are lovely and super convenient, being right on the main street. Again, everyone was very warm and accommodating, helping us get set up in our wetsuits and safety gear. We were introduced to our guide Jakob who was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and entertaining.

    The kayaking was great fun, exploring some caves and riding some waves. We even got to see two seals! However, the coasteering was easily the highlight. Being of slightly different adventure tolerance levels, we were reassured that there would be jumps that suited both of our abilities. I was still incredibly nervous, but Jakob was so patient and reassuring that I was able to jump from some much higher rocks than I thought I would, which felt amazing! He then made sure to take my partner up to some more challenging spots so that he could get his adrenaline fix.

    Overall, we were so impressed and really appreciated the passion and care from everyone at the centre. Jakob went above and beyond to deliver a memorable adventure for us and even gave us some invaluable local knowledge on places to eat and drink. The chicken and chorizo sandwich from loafers was so good we went back twice! We can’t wait to visit again.

    On my 14th birthday, (28/6), I discovered Coasteering, at the Newquay Activity Centre in Cornwall. Our Instructor was Steph, and she gave us clear instructions and positively interacted with us. We had an exhilarating three hour session, which I will now explain

    We first learnt about Coasteering, which is a combination of the word ‘orienteering’ that happens around the ‘coast’. Coasteering is a way of getting from point A to point B across difficult coastal terrain that a vehicle cannot manage. We learnt how to get out of and into the water even jumping off a twenty foot cliff! The high jumping method had me doing the highest jump I have ever done into water yet not with the most impact.

    The equipment was all provided for us: wetsuits, necessary to protect us from the cold water; old trainers to protect us from the sharp rocks, which they provided for us; life jackets, for buoyancy rather than emergency; and helmets to protect us from accidentally losing balance and falling on a rock.

    The three hour session was split up into getting equipped, walking to the coastline, briefing, warming up, properly Coasteering, walking back to the center, and final showering,changing and rejuvenating. We were happily exhausted.

    It was amazingly fun to learn a new skill in the natural terrain of the coast. I love being able to brag that I jumped off a twenty foot cliff for my birthday present. I recommend this for an adventurous soul who wants to explore the Cornish coastline, or any other place bordering the sea. It is a unique way of navigating the coastline.

    So glad you were able to take away so much knowledge from your coasteer. It is exactly as you described it from start to finish and definitely leaves you happily exhausted. The final jump in Adventure Gulley is a great bragging point to friends. We will pass this lovely message along to Steph for her to see.

    It was our first coasteering experience. Funniest part is we didn't know swimming. Sean our ultimate instructor was so cool as he managed to give us a wonderful experience in the seawater. We had several jumps at different heights and got a sneaky chance to occupy the Seals home;). The final whirlpool part was so thrilling and the pros of low and high tide was utilized perfectly by Sean which eventually gave us some of the best moments in our life. Thanks mate! The session was worth the amount we spend.

    Had a lovely coasteering experience today with excellent instructors amy and louis. Great coasteering course with jumps and caves!
    An efficient kit sorting system made getting on the water as quick as possible (after the safety briefing of course!) and my valuables were kept safe and returned to me after the experience! A memorable experience, i will be sure to recommend it to anyone i know to be coming down to newquay and i would be keen to do the experience again or try another one offered by Newquay Activity Centre!

    An incredible way to end our stay in Newquay. Our guide Amy was very friendly and did a great job making us feel relaxed and safe out on the water or climbing along the rocks. Gradually building up our confidence with ever more challenging jumps, offering lots of encouragement and advice as the jumps got higher and higher! We were even lucky enough to see a seal! Booking a trip to Newquay? Coasteering is a must!

    A thoroughly enjoyable experience. My 20 year and 17 year old loved every second. Adventure Gulley was a perfect experience for those new to coasteering. There were enough jumps to challenge and get the adrenaline going, without being too daunting. Both instructors (Sarah and Jacob) were amazing and clearly love what they do . No one was pressured to do anything they didn’t feel comfortable doing, just very gently encouraged to challenge themselves. The emphasis was on having fun and enjoying the experience. Sarah and Jacob did an amazing job of ensuring all ages and abilities in group were looked after. Safety was paramount at all times and clearly Sarah and Jacob knew the environment well and took weather conditions into account. Swimming with seals was a memorable experience as was learning a little about the history of the area. The Activity Centre itself was well resourced and organised. Highly recommended!
