Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Good value for what's included.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.

Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would book with them again.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Recommended.
