REVIEWS “An experience all of us will cherish for a lifetime. It is safe to say, everyone left with warm hearts, big smiles and a little sadness that they had to leave such an amazing place” – Nic Ceja “Best time I’ve ever had in neoprene..... We (family of 2 adults and two children) spent an exhilarating, energetic, kinetic, wonderful watery and strangely relaxing time at Preseli Venture. All the guides were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable... For each activity (coasteering and sea kayaking mainly with Emma) we felt safe, learned new skills and had an immense amount of fun. The food was also delicious. Looking forward to coming back” – Warren Williams
