Fantastic morning

We had the best morning with Chris and Scott Coasteering. We have children aged 11 & 13 and along with a wife who doesn’t like heights had a exhilarating end to our holiday in Devon. Would definitely recommend to all. They were thoroughly professional, fun and had our safety at the forefront of their minds continuously. Can’t wait to come back and try the next height up... Thanks Scott & Chris for a great morning.

GREAT DAY OUT ?

We booked Coasteering with Adventure South for a group of four. We met at The Winking Prawn and we’re escorted to the van to get ready for the activity and safety briefing (there is no site at south sands, a limited amount of stock is brought in the van and you’ll be suited and booted al fresco, likewise, upon return). Chris, our instructor, was great, constantly reassuring, checking at each stop no one needed any adjustments to their equipment but equally entertaining. From someone who is terrified of the sea - give it a go, you might surprise yourself! At some point we’ll be back to tackle Gara... Thanks again chaps!

Completed my RYA Power Boat Level 2
Fantastic course very structured, informative and professional. Really fun lots of boat driving even high speed out to sea. Well recommended if you have a boat. Everyone should do this to keep yourself and others safe. It’s so easy for things to go wrong out there and it may not be your error. This training is a bit of a wake up call for me and I have been out on the water for years.
Feel much more confident and knowledgeable when heading out next time.

Our family had a great afternoon coasteering with Chris and Scott in beautiful surroundings at Gara Rock. It was a fun activity as a family and Scott’s gentle but experienced manner and guidance made him an excellent host and gave us great confidence around the rocks. Would highly recommend.

Me and my brother did our powerboat level 2 course recently. We had such a great time, with Chris offering us a huge amount of information which we didn’t know before which is perfect! It was very refreshing and the course is done at a perfect pace for yourself. Lots of practical involved and we felt very comfortable throughout the whole course! If your looking to do a power boat level 2 course this is the place to do it!

Power boat level 2!

I completed my power boat level 2 over the course of two sunny days instructed by Chris.
I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier and helpful instructor. His knowledge and skills were exceptional and were exactly what you want to learn by. He made us feel safe at all times, whist making sure he got the most out of us learning. His great personality ensured we had laugh along the way! Seeing as I had never driven a boat the size it was, I came away from the course with full confidence and a great understanding which is exactly what I hoped for.
Couldn’t recommend these guys enough! You’ll definitely be learning from the best and have a great time!
Thanks so much Chris! Hope to see you again for some more courses in the future!

Coasteering rocks!

We were a varied group of four - from 11 years old to double hip replaced 67 yer old - who went out coasteering on a freezing October day. We had a great time! Chris, our guide, was brilliant; encouraging and fun despite the cold, and managed our mixed abilities really well. It was teeth chattering and body shockingly cold but still well worth it. Beautiful scenery, speedy boat ride, and nice big rocks to climb and jump off of. A great trip!

Fantastic adrenaline fuelled rib rude

We did the rib tide this afternoon with Chris (our captain).
I cannot fault anything -from the first email I sent to the end of the rib ride.
We had a thorough safety briefing on the pontoon and then we were off - Chris was both attentive and knowledgable and made our afternoon. He is obviously very experienced at what he does and enjoys his job immensely- it showed and really rubbed off on us too.
We will definitely be back to try the coasteering on our next visit to Salcombe - but maybe not the maggot caves he told us about.
Book with this company you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you so much.

A brilliant day spent with Scott and Chris, coasteering in the morning and donut ride in the afternoon. I couldn’t recommend highly enough and worth every penny.
Couldn’t fault in any way. ?
