The Blue Ocean Activities Team

Our Story - How We Became Outdoor Activity Providers

Back in 2006, Neil McMullen turned his love for adventure and the great outdoors into something more, launching his own company specialising in outdoor activities in South Wales. With over 15 years of experience, Neil has grown Blue Ocean Activities into one of the leading outdoor activity providers in South Wales, offering an exciting mix of activities designed to get people moving and enjoying life.

Neil is passionate about the physical and mental benefits of staying active, and Blue Ocean Activities is dedicated to inspiring others to embrace outdoor challenges and adventures. Along the way, Neil met Danielle, who became both his wife and a key part of the team. Together, they’re committed to pushing limits and promoting well-being through fun, nature-filled, and exhilarating experiences.

 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.

 Verified my go to for this kinda stuff
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

 Verified Great opportunity for an adventurous close up with nature
Great experience, Rhys was reassuring, professional and friendly. He gave us crucial instructions to ensure we all made the most out of the day safely. Additionally, Rhys gave an insight of the past industrial history of the area which was very interesting.We'll definitely be back for a second round soon.

 Verified Absolutely amazing!
A fantastic afternoon yesterday. A great mix of fun challenges- jumps, scrambling, walking, caving, waterfalls. So much excitement packed into those 3.5 hours! 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. We were missing 1 child so we will definitely be back soon with him! Thanks so much!!

 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.
