The Eco Lodge
Restaurant
Why not mix it up and choose two adventures (a morning half-day and afternoon half-day) and join us for a hearty hot lunch at the eco lodge restaurant in between? Our menu is deliciously varied and upbeat, with healthy meals catering for all special dietary requirements (as well as fussy eaters), made from fresh local ingredients wherever possible. The beautifully furnished and spacious restaurant and lounge offers views down to the ancient woodland and across a rolling pastoral landscape. Our sheltered courtyard provides outdoor seating with spectacular views down to the ocean and the Penbwchdy headland. Dine al-fresco with Nature’s soundtrack of ravens, buzzards and woodpeckers echoing through the valley. Our in-house chef is also happy to provide a delicious packed lunch if you're going on a full day out sea kayaking. One of the untouched secret beaches you can only reach by sea provides the perfect place for a pincic (and perhaps a soothing sea swim)!
Accommodation
We offer eco lodge accommodation at our peaceful coastal retreat with beautifully presented single, double, twin and family rooms. By choosing your adventures and adding accommodation to your booking, you can build your own bespoke adventure break with all your meals included. What could be more convenient than rolling out of bed to a full Welsh breakfast and starting your adventure from your doorstep?
Our camping and glamping meadow just next door at Preseli Glamping provides another perfect base for your adventure break. Twelve spacious grassy camping pitches span the length of a rolling meadow, separated by saplings and each with its own fire pit, cooking grill and picnic table and benches. Pitch up on the hillside with dramatic views down to the sea or nestle yourself in an amphitheatre of birdsong down in the sheltered woodland valley. We also offer unqiue luxury glamping in our Geodesic Dome, a hemispherical wood-and-canvas structure nestled in a peaceful clearing of wild Welsh woodland.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of kayaks will we use?
For beginners we have single sit-on-tops and double sit-on-tops perfect for younger children who may get tired of paddling sooner! Alternatively we have 'closed cockpit' kayaks with a spray deck for those who prefer.
Can I spread my adventures over a few days?
Yes. You're welcome to join us over a number of days and if you wanted to stay for a few nights in the Preseli Venture eco lodge, you're more than welcome.
Will I be in a group with adults or families?
On our adventure days, we welcome adults and families. If you'd prefer to be in an exclusively adult/ exclusively family group, let us know - it may be possible.
Do I have to go up high? I'm scared of heights!
There is no need to go up high, the idea with coasteering is that you are right by the water’s edge, traversing along the rocky shore. The only reason to go up high above the water is if you choose to do some jumps! Your guide will take you to some lovely deep pools where it’s safe to jump in, if you wish to give it a go! It's up to you to decide where to meet your adventurous edge - everyone is different!
Are there any participant restrictions and do I need any previous experience?
Everyone is welcome to join our adventure days, young and old, swimmers and non-swimmers all are very welcome. You just need to be happy in the water. Our professional guides will ensure everyone has a fantastic experience to remember!
Where will our adventures take place?
We work closely with the National Trust and have access to a range of beautiful un-spoilt National Trust locations on the North Pembrokeshire coast. The location is always chosen on the day so that we can select the most suitable place taking into account the weather, tides and swell.
Do you offer group rates?
We offer a 10% reduction for groups of 10 or more. Group bookings need to be made in 1 full payment to benefit from the discount. Discount code: PVPROMO10A
Do we need to be able to swim?
No, with the flotation jacket and the wet-suit you are naturally extremely floaty. As long as you are happy to bob around in the water, jump on in and join us, you'll have such a blast and a huge sense of achievement!
Can i join an an activity day as a solo traveller?
Yes of course, we welcome solo travellers, couples, groups & families.
What happens if the weather is bad?
With over 100 miles of stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park coastline, if faced with adverse conditions such as high wind or large swells, we can almost always choose a more sheltered location. In the event of ‘no surf’ we always provide an alternative water based activity. We very rarely cancel altogether but if the weather prohibits the activity taking place, then we would only cancel on the day. The instructor can take your call after 8.00am on the day. You will be offered an alternative activity if your chosen adventure cannot take place, or a refund if you prefer.
