“I have never been so scared of a two-metre jump. Nia talked me off the ledge, literally, and I did the six-metre one after that.”

Questions
Before you get wet.
Anything else, call the hut on 01632 960 244 between 8am and 6pm, or send us a message.
You need to be comfortable in the water, but you wear a buoyancy aid the whole time and it keeps you floating without effort. Most of our guests are not strong swimmers, and on the swims the guide stays within arm’s reach.
Ten and over for sea kayaking, twelve and over for coasteering and sixteen for the island crossing. Anyone under 16 needs an adult on the same trip.
We check conditions at 7am. If a trip cannot run safely we text you by 7.30 and offer another date or a full refund. Rain on its own does not stop us; you are going to get wet anyway.
A swimsuit to wear under the wetsuit, a towel and warm clothes for afterwards. Everything else is at the hut. Leave jewellery and phones in the lockers.
Yes, about a third of our guests do. You join a group of up to twelve with two guides.
There is a pay and display car park on the slipway, £4 for the day. Please arrive twenty minutes before your trip to get changed.
