Perfect afternoon to see Newquay from a sea view Really well organised kayaking trip. Perfectly pitched to suit the audience with abilities and wants to see and do. The group were given options for viewing caves from the shore which was amazing and we saw lots of wildlife including large jellyfish, seals and birds. Our guide Heath was informative, fun to be with and made us feel very safe and well guided.

Highly recommend, very fun! We absolutely loved this activity! Morgan our guide was great, he was very informative on all things we came across on the coast, whether that was animals, plants or caves. The biggest jump we did was about 25ft and Morgan was amazing at calming the nervous jumpers.

Hand planing - YOU MUST DO THIS! I had such a brilliant time hand planing with my teacher Layla. She was fantastic teaching me all the skills and safety tips needed... and coaching me to make the most out of the waves I can't recommend this enough, a real feeling of being at the mercy of the sea and experiencing the exhilaration of hitting the wave right and FLYING through the water in just your wetsuit. Layla was a brilliant teacher, really engaging and knowledgeable... and good fun. The whole NAC experience was faultless from the moment of enquiry in the office, until the moment I left

Excellent first surf lesson George gave my partner and me a fantastic lesson. He explained everything clearly and was incredibly helpful both in and out of the water. We had so much fun and learned a lot throughout the session. We’ll definitely be booking with Newquay Activity Centre again and would highly recommend it.

Was a really great experience was cold but our guide (James) kept us moving. Got to try out jumps from different heights and even got to go into a cave. Managed to see a seal in the first 20 minutes after getting in the water. James was great guide making sure we were good the whole time and was a great help when getting out the water when the waves started to get bigger. Would definitely recommend giving it a go.
