 Verified Fantastic gorge walking activity with professional instructor.
The whole experience, from booking to taking part was fantastic. On the day, quite a few of our group were a little nervous and Neil, our instructor, was excellent with our mixed ability group. We had non swimmers and some who found the Gorge walking more physically challenging and he made it enjoyable for all of us. This was a Hen do activity which i think will be remembered and talked about for years to come.

We only met one of the guides and so cant speak about anyone else but if i was doing anything like this again round here id come straight back to our guide Andy at Blue Ocean! He has decades of survival experience in the army and knows the terrain like back of his hand. Felt like we had stumbled upon a hidden gem having Andy!!! Company itself also excellent in terms of ease of booking and arranging etc. Such a great day

Massive thanks to our guide Andy, he was so fun to be around, super friendly, really knowledgeable about the area and we felt very safe with him. Andy was also very patient and encouraging with a nervous oldie :-) . Thank you also Danielle for organising it! Amazing memories with family and friends.

 Verified Highly recommended
My daughter and I had a memorable Gorge Scrambling experience. Expertly led by Andy - we were encouraged to go out of our comfort zone, which was thrilling and rewarding. A stunning location, and time to really appreciate it. Thanks - we'll likely be back for more.
