A great stag weekend hosted by Heleen & Dan. Heleen was the most patient person in the world with COVID caused delays, changes in numbers, adjusting costs to make things work etc for 2 years before the day! On the day Dan & Heleen were really friendly, helpful & made everything super easy, relaxed and good fun. Heleen joined us for Canyoning while Dan photographed the group and having them involved in the activity was great - they really encouraged people to get the most out of the experience without pushing too hard out of their comfort zone. I would thoroughly recommend Big Blue Adventures and would have no hesitation in looking to them if we were exploring South Wales again!! Thank you guys so much!

Amazing team trip to North Wales run by Dan and Heleen. From start to finish they were friendly, proffessional and best of all - great fun! It was like you had joined our team and were part of the experinece. We all had an amazing time from canoeing to ziplining and a few beers in the pub! Thanks so much for a fantastic service and all round great adventure!

Planning anything in the last year has been a nightmare, let alone doing it for a large group but Heleen & Dan really came to the rescue in helping to plan our trip to Pembrokeshire. A really well planned out itinerary with excellent communication throughout & an amazing coasteering session to top it off!

C. G.

What can I say?!? Just a brilliant weekend hen do for my sister! Just fantastic. Once we were there, no worries at all, just had to sit back and have so much fun! Great attention to detail, which was fully adapted to suit our group 😊 There was a wide range of abilities and confidence levels and ever single hen gave 10 out of 10. A weekend never to be forgotten!

Big Blue Adventures organised an awesome day of coasteering for us in Lisbon. The day was great value, including lunch and transport. Heleen was very helpful and accommodating when we made the booking, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to run the day than Nuno! An all round great experience. I would definitely recommend and use Big Blue Adventures again. Thanks guys!

Heleen and the team of Big Blue Adventures were exceptional in every aspect, they organized a day full of adventure and amusement. The experience itself is fantastic, managed in a safe way, respectful of what are the fears of others, and above all a really fun way. The Big Blue Adventures team is always available and can meet any need, plus they do really great photos and videos. My boyfriend and I did canyoning in Wales with Big Blue Adventures: the location was breathtaking and we were in great company. I learned it's a good thing to do at least once in your life just to tear everything up and jump from a waterfall, just do it!

Big Blue staged my brother's stag based in Brecon but with a night out in Cardiff. The experience was brilliant. As best man, I did the liaison with Dan who listened carefully to the brief and came up with an awesome schedule. Accommodation in Brecon was really superb and provisions were there on arrival so we didn't have to even think about food before rolling down to the local pub for some beers after arrival. Saturday's logistics in and back out of the city at the end of the night were flawless (we went to watch Wales vs. Barbarians). Finally, a great time canyoning on Sunday - definitely exciting enough to make us forget about early December water temperatures! We received enough kit including balaclavas/booties, etc to stop us shivering. I'd thoroughly recommend Big Blue to anyone after the time we had. A big five stars from me, the groom and his fellow stag attendees!

I booked a 23 man stag do through Big Blue Adventures and can't recommend them highly enough. The stag weekend included 2 nights stay at a Nosda Hostel and a whole day of Coasteering at Rhossili which has been voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world. Heleen and Dan who own Big Blue Adventures were amazing and helped me organise everything. They even accommodated last minute changes to the stag party with a couple extra people wanting to join us last minute. The hostel is really central and was only a 5 minute walk into the centre of Cardiff. The hostel had a really good atmosphere and there were other stag and hen parties staying there that weekend so the hostel is used to big groups. The Coasteering was incredible. The instructors were great and Heleen also came along with us with a Go Pro and took loads of photos and even created a video for us which she emailed to me after the weekend. Heleen arranged for a big bus to take all of us there and back and we stopped off at a nice pub for lunch on the way back. I am scared of heights but I managed most of the jumps although I did wimp out of the last one. It was the best hangover cure for everyone! I would definitely recommend Coasteering and Big Blue Adventures to everyone. I am thinking about booking a surfing holiday with them to Portugal as they were so good.

A super dedicated team focused on giving everyone a good time. We had a 3-day event organized for 80+ people, and it was absolutely amazing!

T. E.

Daniel and Heleen provided our group with a fantastic day canyoning in the Brecon Beacons. They were recommended to me by a friend. From start to finish, 0 complaints from anyone. Exceptional communication and recommendations for our weekend. The day was well planned, and they clearly know the best coaches/guides for the activity you choose (canyoning in our case), and the best places to eat. They are lovely hosts, and if returning to Wales I'd definitely book another activity with them. Thank you guys again, Thomas

Daniel and Heleen from Big Blue Adventures helped the Passle team to have the most amazing team building trip in Madeira. Our days were filled with a big array of adventures, including canyoning (OMG what fun!!!), mountain biking, 4x4 discovery tour, wine tasting, tobogganing, poncha making, dolphin watching, sailing, swimming, tasting local amazing food, and more. Both Dan and Heleen and the local guides were fabulous, fun to have around, really good at their job. On top of it, all the silliness was dutifully and expertly documented. Thank you for the most epic times, guys!

S. M.

I can't recommend these guys enough. I was planning a stag do through Dan during Covid and he was absolutely brilliant at keeping me informed of any alterations/alternatives and in fact the weekend was even better than what we originally planned. Well done Dan and thank you, top organising! The accommodation, The Citrus Hotel in Cardiff was ideal, clean and great location. Bus was on time to collect us. Dan and Heleen were there to welcome us and were amazing throughout the day. Paintballing was brilliant fun, as was the canyoning and the packed lunch was great. Can't wait to see the GoPro footage from the day! They use well organised professional activity instructors/companies. Looking forward to my next weekend away with these guys! Thank you for everything, you were both patient and brilliant. Good luck with the expansion!

A. B.

I hardly write reviews, but just had to for this team. I can't recommend these guys enough! From the get go Heleen had so many brilliant ideas for a group that had a mixed need of adrenaline, relaxation, scary and all round fun. The team are professional, enthusiastic, very chilled and friendly and all round brilliant instructors who are clearly passionate about the outdoors and made us all very comfortable in the water. We were also able to have beach yoga on Rhossili Bay with a brilliant instructor 'Rose' guiding us, whilst the team discreetly created incredible footage on the gopros, drones and cameras. We can't stop grinning at the footage! Coasteering was fantastic and lead by experienced climbers/ jumpers. Thanks Pete at Savage adventures! I just wish every weekend was like this. BBA organised the accommodation, food, drinks, and adventures, taking the pressure off us organising a big group. Everyone had mixed abilities but that didn't matter as the team looked after each of us so well. Thanks again Heleen, Dan, and Sam for looking after us and pushing us to be out best. Cannot wait to hang out again 💪 Ali x

D. S.

Dan and Haleem provided a great weekend of rock climbing and surfing which both accommodated different experience levels. They had great attention to detail. We lucked out with the weather too in the gower.

T. J.

What a great company!! Over the course of two days we went canyoning through the Brecon Beacons, had a motivation speech from Andrew Cotten and went quad biking through Taff Valley. All three events offered a brilliant experience and lots of fun, particularly the canyoning which was superb. Couldn’t recommend Big Blue Adventures enough, thanks again Dan and Heleen!!

J. W.

It was an absolute pleasure to join Big Blue Adventures (and Savage Adventures) for Canyoning in the Brecon Beacons. Dan and the girls were brilliant, providing the exhilarating experience that we sought and going that extra mile to ensure we felt pushed to our limits (safely and assured that we can take a step back at any point), providing good conversation and, seeming to enjoy the session as much as us. I have been canyoning once before and this one trumps it. Loved the enthusiasm to provide action shots, videos and even a welsh cake. Would recommend to everyone vaguely interested!

Myself and 4 colleagues enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of Team Building with Big Blue Adventures learning how to Paddleboard. The majority of the team had never tried this activity before and we’re provided with excellent support and first class tuition making the event both fun and rewarding in equal measures. Despite our event being cancelled due to COVID in 2020, the wait was worth it and I would highly recommend both the activity and the team at Big Blue who were highly personable and attentive to our every request. Thanks Dan and Heleen, we will be back for more of something else soon. Rob Saunders CEO, ActiveQuote

Dan did a great job of saving the stag and moving location when our planned trip to Cardiff was cancelled because the accommodation closed down. Uplifting the entire trip could have been very painful if it wasn't for the support of Big Blue. Thanks again - highly recommend and certainly value for money.

Big Blue prepared a weekend in Snowdonia for my brother and sister in law’s sten weekend. Our group had a great time canyoning, Dan and Heleen were absolutely fantastic and made sure that we all enjoyed the activity and were well taken care of throughout the weekend. The BBA team are enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the activities they can provide and we will definitely be back for another adventure!

D. H.

Had a great experience when booking a stag activity in Cardiff with Dan and Heleen, they could not have been more welcoming or helpful and were very accommodating and communicative right from the booking process through to collecting us from our hostel and making sure we all enjoyed a great afternoon of canyoning in the Brecon Beacons. Our group had a lot of people who were totally new to this type of activity and it wasn't a problem thanks to the help of the team on the day. Absolutely no hesitation in booking again soon for some of their other packages, thanks guys from everyone at Stephens stag do!

10 of us went on an adventure holiday this November to Portugal with Big Blue...it was better than the best holiday i can even think of! Heleen and Dan are perfect hosts. They organised everything making for a seamless unforgettable experience. Paddleboarding and surfing were our main activities, both being new experiences for all of us. The instructors were great and catered for every level. Cant wait to book up another holiday with these lovely people, im totally hooked. If you want to try new activities, enjoy the outdoors and enjoy having fun with a group of people then Big Blue Adventures are the ones for the job :)

L. v. B.

Just came home after a short but amazing trip in Wales, perfectly guided by Dan and Heleen! I absolutely loved our canyoning and hiking adventure in Brecon Beacons National Park. The activities were so much fun and professionally organized. Great value for money!

O. C.

Excellent experience with Heleen who organised Canyoning and paintballing for a party of 16 people. Very good adventure and Pete and Ali were great guides in canyoning - paintballing also good fun

A. R.

From the first time of speaking to Dan we had a smooth and stress free experience. He listened to our needs and tailored the perfect experience for our trip. It really couldn’t have been better communication wise, all the info we received was accurate and clear. This made it remarkably easy to organise an epic trip for 12 friends. During the weekend everything went really smoothly and everyone was impressed with the amazing location, accommodation and generous catering arrangements. We spent 2 nights at the old school bunk house, near Rhossili (Gower), with a bbq on arrival and an afternoon Coasteering. The activity exceeded everyone’s expectations, pushing us out of our comfort zones while still assured that we were safe and in expert hands. With a ratio of 12 of us to 4 guides and good quality equipment it really felt like we were well looked after. All the guides were really friendly and filled us with confidence. Would highly recommend this company and would certainly like to use them again. Thanks for an awesome experience Big Blue crew! 🤙

M. M.

Dan and Heleen were amazing! From the minute we arrived at the campsite they made sure we had everything we needed. The coasteering was great fun and they put everyone at ease. We had lunch altogether afterwards which shows how much they make an effort for it to be really personal. They had put lots of little nice touches in the tents for a hen party, and when we couldn't get our fairy lights to work in the evening, Dan even brought some over specially for us, which was so thoughtful. Would recommend to anyone, as everything can be tailored to your needs. Thank you so much! Molly x

P. D.

My friends and I did coasteering in Madeira - it was fun. Very well planned, professional organization, very good contact. It was a pleasure! I can recommend it to everyone.

T. F.

Epic afternoon Canyoning in Brecon with Big Blue Adventures. We had a fantastic time and the guides were professional, knowledgable and lots of fun. Thanks for taking us. Highly recommend these guys.

E. L.

Fantastic organisation, it was super fun! Thank you guys :D

Portugal. Surfing. SUPing. Sunset hikes filled with Portuguese delicacies. I’m not going to go on and on but if you want to have the best time ever then big blue are the legends to book with. So much fun, so organised and feel like I’ve gained friends in Dan and Heleen. They are amazing at what they do and ur holiday will not disappoint you. Jus back from this epic few days. It blew my mind and my 10 guests. You guys really are the best at this. If you do anything today book with them and go have an awesome adventure.... I’m literally counting down the days until I go again ❤️

Incredible from start to finish! Dan, Nuno and the team organised a fantastic day of coasteering in Lisbon. Pick up on time from hostel with Pastel de Nata on arrival, drive to the coast and then an exhilarating guided adventure for our group of 23. Included numerous rock jumps unto 6m and ended on a 20m abseil. Lunch afterwards on the beach was delicious and allowed for some much needed beer time before heading back to Lisbon. Would 100% recommend and use again! Special thanks for Nuno, Deborah and drives who made the day with their energy, good humour and getting involved in everything! Thanks again!

R. L.

Daniel could not have been more accommodating. I found BBA through a Google search and after seeing one video of what they did, knew they would handle our needs. I was looking for a weekend of outdoor adventures in a beautiful location that also had the option of some boozy nights for my mate's stag-do - this turns out to be a tall order in the UK to find something that sits happily in the centre of this Venn diagram. Daniel immediately delivered two options including the one we went with in Pembrokeshire, Wales. A long drive from London but so worth it when you are there, we stayed at Newgale Lodge which had activities (table tennis, snooker/pool, cards etc) for when it rained and large outdoor space for football when it was sunny. We went go-karting and coasteering - both I would highly recommend - and a night out in Tenby. Daniel took care of all food and transport requirements leaving us with very little to think about over the weekend and he delivered a great set of photos and video at the end. Tenby is the nearest town to where we stayed and was a really fun place for a curry and some beers. We had a great evening there and found that so long as you don't act like idiots the bars were pretty tolerant of a stag group. All in all, I was so happy to have gone with Big Blue Adventures and Daniel exceeded all duties to make it an unforgettable weekend for us all.

L. K.

They organised the most amazing hen party! Even when covid caused a few bumps in the road they went above and beyond to deliver a high quality experience. Highly recommend!

M. M.

On our company meetup in Lisbon we've spent whole day with Big Blue. Guys took care of everything, like transport, stand up paddle session, lunch and even yoga. We've had so much fun - would recommend Big Blue to anyone :-)

R. M.

Each year we organise an activity week for a large group of teenagers over the October half term. Right from the very first phone call, Dan & Heleen took the pressure off of us, they are both fantastic communicators, with regular emails/calls to confirm the agenda, timings, accommodation, and organising a personal chef, Dan and Heleen were with us every day of the trip, looking after the group and taking part in all of the activities, liaising with guides/instructors every day, and even made sure we never got lost by escorting us to all the destinations! The children had an amazing time, with an action packed schedule every single day, they made sure that the schedule was flexible to react to any changing weather conditions, and even went above and beyond with movie nights in a improvised cinema, prizes every evening for 'Adventurer of the day', and celebrated Halloween with lots of decorations and sweets etc etc, it was fantastic! Thank you Dan & Heleen,

COASTEERING LISBON Berger Stag weekend 11/08/18 Don't normally leave reviews for anything but the team leaded by Nuno was that good they deserve at least 5 minutes of my time to give some 5 start feedback. *Picked up on time *Greeted with a smile and Portuguese cake *Fancy minibus with a McDonald's pitstop 😂 *Organisation was on point * Two experienced instructors which helped us with any problems during the day *Topped off with a nice meal on the beach and plenty beer. First time I've ever done this and I will definatley consider doing coasteering at some point in the future in Wales. A massive thanks to all at Big Blue Adventures and especially Nuno and the team in Lisbon. Cheers Jack

E. S.
