EXCELLENT Based on 727 reviews Kate H28 September 2025Verified Excellent team day out Had an absolutely amazing day canyoning for a team day out! Everyone stepped out of their comfort zones, and our guide, Neil, was incredibly patient, supportive, and full of knowledge. He showed us breathtaking sights while leading us through jumps off waterfalls and climbs through caves.The whole experience was not only exciting but also surprisingly therapeutic and completely erased the stress our team had been carrying. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommend! anonymous123423125 September 2025Verified Exciting and adventurous We had a fantastic experience with Blue Ocean Activities. From the very start of planning our activity, Danielle communicated regularly and was helpful with the booking process.Rhys, our instructor, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area, which really helped put everyone at ease and made the whole group feel confident in the activities.The morning was packed with a variety of adventure, jumping into waterfalls, climbing and scrambling over rocks and walking/swimming through rivers. Rhys was also very safety conscious, regularly checking the conditions and making sure the activities were safe before we jumped in.What we really appreciated was that there was absolutely no pressure, anyone who didn’t feel comfortable with a particular activity was free to sit it out, which made the whole experience enjoyable for everyone.Thanks again to Rhys and the team for a fun and memorable morning. We’d highly recommend Blue Ocean Activities and the gorge scrambling! sarahfp201623 September 2025Verified If you’re looking for; action, adventure and a bit of adrenaline this ticks all the boxes! We had so much fun canyoning with Blue Ocean activities. We were expertly and reassuringly guided along the River gorge, where we had fun jumping into pools, clambering over the rocks, swimming and even a little bit of pot holing. Any sections we did not feel comfortable with we had the option to sit out, which wasn’t a problem but as a 55 and 60 year-old couple, I’m pleased to say we managed it all! We were well kitted up with helmet, wetsuit and life jacket. Communication with the booking team was good.So If you’re up for a bit of adventure, action and adrenaline this would certainly tick the boxes.
