Currently on the train to work after what has been a fantastic weekend with Jey & Co. We spent the weekend coasteering, surfing (think I am a little bit hooked), axe throwing and staying at the wild camp. I honestly don't think the weekend could have been any more perfect (even the sun came out to play!). I cannot recommend these guys enough. There is sufficient structure and tuition to feel safe and supported, however without it feeling regimented. Therefore you can relax and enjoy the weekend as it unfolds. Surfing/coasteering was brilliant (although feeling very achy now), but the highlight for me was the wild camp. Its a totally unique space where you can switch off from the world. Something I think we all need from time to time. Thanks for a great weekend guys :) ~ Harry A
I took my 8 year old Coasteering with Cornish Wave and we had an amazing experience with Willow who took us along some of the craggy coast of Newquay and had us jumping and dropping into the sea and having a high old time. Willow definitely knows his stuff, was an expert on the stretch of coastline we were traversing and made sure we were all safe at all times and his enthusiasm for the sport and overall positive and tuned in attitude was infectious, so we had an absolute blast. Superb service, top notch equipment and instruction and an amazing instructor led to the BEST DAY on our whole holiday. Will be looking to book to go Coasteering again next year and I am also considering taking a surfing lesson too. Top notch experience, many thanks to Willow and the Cornish Wave Team. ⭐️ ~ Adam F
This retreat was an absolute gem! The location of the camp is stunning—right in the heart of nature, perfect for a true escape. Wild yet equipped with everything you need. Victor and Matt made our stay truly special. They were amazing and going out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. The surf lessons were fun and tailored to all levels, while the yoga sessions were the perfect balance of relaxation after surfing and some challenge. The camp had a cozy, laid-back vibe, with pizzas, bbq and evenings spent around the campfire. I couldn’t have asked for a better mix of adventure and chill downtime for a solo trip having met so many cool people! Highly recommend this retreat if you want to surf, unwind, and connect with awesome people! ~ Dominika S
