Adventure and activity holidays for adults

Five days of discovery and fun on the inspirational Pembrokeshire National Park coastline; our Pembrokeshire Adventure Staycation activity holiday is the perfect blend of adventures and exploration. We’ll take you out on the best adventures by day, and by night we’ll toast marshmallows on a fire under the stars, or take an evening stroll on the beach to catch a beautiful sunset. These are days of magic and wonder…

This adults only activity holiday offers the perfect opportunity to experience unique and exciting adventure activities under the expert guidance of our professional instructors. You’ll be well looked after by our team of friendly staff, and enjoy excellent hospitality at our fully catered 5 star eco lodge.

What happens on this 5 day adventure holiday?

Monday Arrive in time for a home cooked lunch, followed by a half day coasteering, the ultimate coastal adventure – climb, swim and jump into a whole new world. Sea caves and swirling ocean swells combine to produce a truly wild environment. Watch out, it’s addictive!

Tuesday Today is a biggie, a full day sea kayaking along the Pembrokeshire coastline, a place where rocks, caves, seals, birds, waves, surf, beaches, harbours and much more make our coast a real sea kayaker’s paradise. Hone your sea kayaking skills, with the emphasis on exploration and wildlife watching along this inspirational coastline.  Packed lunch on a deserted beach or inaccessible (apart from by kayak) rocky nook!

Wednesday Another busy day today, in the morning you’ll take a half day surfing on one of our Pembrokeshire beach breaks, basing yourself at a beautiful beach, followed by lunch. NEW FOR 2012 We’ve teamed up with local kite boarding specialist The Big Blue Experience to offer a half day kite boarding on the wonderful sandy expanse of Newgale beach.  Kiteboarding is the perfect ‘light wind’ complement to kitesurfing, involving similar skills without getting wet

NB As you would imagine, kiteboarding is lots of fun but VERY weather dependent!  Because of this we don’t charge you in advance for this activity, and payment can be made to The Big Blue Experience when and if the activity takes place.  Also, this is the only activity for which you’ll need to provide your own transport, please do ask us for more info.

Thursday Coasteering again, we’ll choose another of our awesome venues along the North Pembrokeshire coastline. Whether the sea is flat calm and reflecting the suns rays like a mirror, or raging and boiling as the waves pound the cliffs base, a superb coasteer can be guaranteed, with the emphasis on cliff jumping, wave dodging and rock traversing shifting according to the conditions; no two coasteers are ever the same. Hot home cooked lunch at the lodge,  followed by a self guided coastal walk, we have the world renowned Pembrokeshire National Park Coastal Path on the very western tip of Europe right on our doorstep. Unwind amidst the spectacular cliff top scenery and chill out amongst the wild flowers – it’s the perfect accompaniment to the adrenalin charged adventure activities.

Friday We’ve partnered up with Twiggy and her team at Llanwnda Stables to offer an hour and a half horse ride where you can enjoy inspirational views of the Strumble Head peninsula from horseback.  If horse riding doesn’t rock your boat – you’re welcome to opt into an alternative activity!  Lunch at the lodge, and depart.

NB This is an outline itinerary, and is therefore subject to change according to your own preferences and to weather and tides. Please contact us if you have any questions or requests.

What can we do in the evenings?

After supper you’ll be free to make the most of our awesome location, a walk through the bluebell woods to the beach comes highly recommended, and we’ll have a bonfire under the stars for you on one of the evenings. The Preseli Venture eco lodge is a great place to hang out, we have a fully licensed bar and free wireless broadband, plenty of games, and a rather fetching pool table with purple baize! If you want to sample the local, small and friendly hill top village of Mathry, it’s just a short walk from the lodge and will give you a real taste of rural Welsh life. From here you can look out over the Preseli Hills; the source of the ‘bluestone’ of Stonehenge.

Are there any participant restrictions?

On our Pembrokeshire adventure staycations we welcome adults of 18 years and over. The activities are open to everyone, you don’t need to have previous experience and you don’t need to be particularly outdoorsy, just come equipped with a go for it attitude and a sense of fun! Participants should have a reasonable general level of fitness and will be asked to fill in a medical declaration form on arrival at the lodge. All participants need to be able to swim to take part in the water-based activities.
