For parents who want the holiday their kids actually remember

The holiday your kids will talk about all year. The holiday that makes them drop their phones, finally ask how the tide works, and come home with a story they actually want to tell.

The Activities

Coasteering (ages 8+) — The one the kids will beg for

Swim through sea caves. Jump off rocks. Scramble along cliff faces. All the things parents usually say no to at the beach — but done safely, with guides, in properly-fitted kit. 2.5 hours.
Adults £55 · Kids £45 · Group rates on application

Sea Kayaking (ages 6+) — For the calmer adventurers

Double kayaks so younger kids paddle with a parent. Explore sea caves, watch seals, paddle past Tenby’s medieval castle. Great for families who want the adventure without the adrenaline hit — and suitable for kids as young as six.
Adults £55 · Kids £45 · Group rates on application

Rock Climbing (ages 10+) — The quiet confidence builder

Private sessions on Pembrokeshire limestone — everything from first-timer friendly top-ropes to short traditional routes. Great for kids who want a challenge they can progress on.
From £220 for up to 4 people · Larger group rates on application

Is It Actually Safe?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: we wrote a whole post about it, aimed at exactly the question every parent has before booking.

All guides hold NGB-level qualifications, carry public liability insurance, and carry out dynamic risk assessments on every session. We pick conditions to match the group — a family with a nervous 8-year-old doesn’t get the same jumps as a group of 14-year-olds. Parents can request documentation in advance.
