It was certainly a thrilling trip with lots of exhilarating 'twists and turns' (wait and see!!!) alongside an otherwise inaccessible coastline! We witnessed the recent cliff falls where hundreds of tons of fresh, white chalk spread out into the sea. Ben pointed out... More

The rib, capable of upto 40 knots, was well equipped and very exciting to ride. Our guides, James and Craig were professionals to their fingertips, having worked in... More
