Customer's reviews
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. ⭐️

BEST WEEKEND EVER!
My partner and I went on the 2 day surf and coasteering weekend in September last year. We found that from the moment we arrived at check in and all the way through the trip, we were well looked after by our guides and hosts.
The guides that looked after us were so friendly and supportive during our surf and coasteering sessions. They were professional and supportive, which made the days super fun for us. The wild camping facilities were decent and there was fun activities dotted around the camp site; axe throwing, boats on the lake, wild swimming, lawn games. They had a couple of communal areas; one by the fire pit and one in the kitchen area. We had a great weekend together meeting new people and sharing fun experiences together. A Cornish weekend I will never forget!

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!
