About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- matteorK3219JZ0 contributionsGreat opportunity for an adventurous close up with natureGreat experience, Rhys was reassuring, professional and friendly. He gave us crucial instructions to ensure we all made the most out of the day safely. Additionally, Rhys gave an insight of the past industrial history of the area which was very interesting. We'll definitely be back for a second round soon.Written 27 August 2024
- robpE1187HL0 contributionsAbsolutely amazing!A fantastic afternoon yesterday. A great mix of fun challenges- jumps, scrambling, walking, caving, waterfalls. So much excitement packed into those 3.5 hours! Massive thanks to our guide Andy, he was so fun to be around, super friendly, really knowledgeable about the area and we felt very safe with him. Andy was also very patient and encouraging with a nervous oldie :-) . Thank you also Danielle for organising it! Amazing memories with family and friends. We were missing 1 child so we will definitely be back soon with him! Thanks so much!!Written 26 August 2024
- Peter M0 contributionsFun packed afternoonHad a great afternoon with Neil guiding us through a selection of challenges and jumps. Kids (12,13,15x2) absolutely loved it. Adults too! Will certainly look to return and book others too such as their coasteering.Written 22 August 2024
- bee_hapus0 contributionsamazing adventure day outAnother amazing gorge walking experience! this was my 2nd time booking through Blue Ocean Activities and they was just as good as the first. Danielle was always fast at replying to any emails with questions I had, and was very thorough with the booking and all the details given. Returning members going back is definitely worth asking if they do discount for returning customers, Danielle was very helpful and offered us a small discount for booking back through with them again. Our tour guide was Neil and he was absolutely fabulous! Very helpful to each individual member, and recognising everyone's strengths and weaknesses. we had 2 children in our family come along with us at the ages of 9 who thoroughly enjoyed it! Neil was very good with them when having to alter a route for the children but didn't stop us adults from having fun! I do really recommend that you need to have slight fitness about you to walk and swim place to place. However even if you do get tired on the way the instructors are always happy to accommodate to yourself. Equipment was varied with different sizes helping those who may have sized wetsuits wrong on the pre ordering. Make sure you take a go pro to get all those action shots and 1 is plenty between a group! also stock up on snacks and a big water for when you finish as you will be ravenous!Written 6 August 2024
- 908joa0 contributionsGorge walking with RhysGreat day out with Rhys as our instructor. He was very enthusiastic, encouraging and made you feel at ease at every stage of the activity. Rhys made it fun and really challenged us. However if you weren’t confident at any stage you were not made to do it and could always take an easier route. We took our 9 and 13 year old boys who absolutely loved the day and we’ll certainly be back soon. Thank you Rhys for a wonderful time.Written 6 July 2024

A fantastic event led by experienced instructors (Andy and Rees) that made our trip interesting in an area of outstanding beauty. The event was both challenging and rewarding and is ideal for team building. We'll worth the cost and braving the cold water. I highly recommend this experience.

Did gorge walking for the first time today as part of an open event, with Rhys as our guide. The route we took had a variety of different challenges, with some scrambling, tight squeezes through some caves, dark spaces, and plenty of cold plunges. Rhys was very knowledgeable, patient and easygoing and we knew we were in good hands.
If you are looking for a different way of exploring the outdoors and love adventure, we fully recommend. Thank you for an excellent morning!

We thoroughly enjoyed the gorge scrambling. Great guide (Neil), amazing group and lovely sights. Full of adrenaline filled activities, and if something went a bit too far for you you could skip it without a problem. We will definitely keep this organisation in mind if we visit wales again, and will recommend to anyone visiting Brecon Beacons!

My daughter and I had a memorable Gorge Scrambling experience. Expertly led by Andy - we were encouraged to go out of our comfort zone, which was thrilling and rewarding. A stunning location, and time to really appreciate it. Thanks - we'll likely be back for more.

We had a fantastic time scrambling up through the gorge going under waterfalls and jumping of all different heights of rocks into pools. Brendon was a great guide who was very patient with the younger ones. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Great action packed afternoon and the kids loved it!

We booked as a family of 8 to go canyoning with Blue Ocean.
It was a very professional service from start to end. Danielle was very quick to reply to emails when booking. Andy was a brilliant instructor and had the perfect balance of looking after my young nephew while still giving you the more confident members of the group freedom to enjoy the waterfalls and jumps. I would definitely have no hesitations with booking any activities with Blue Ocean and if we are back in the area would love to do the Canyoning again

Oh my. What an experience. As a nearly sixty year old slightly overweight and unfit person, it was a blast. Jumping into rivers where you’re momentarily submerged? Not a problem. Climbing through ‘wormholes’ and scrambling down head first. We clambered through rushing waterfalls to jump off from a 12 ft ledge, went into caves and pushed ourselves to our limits and beyond. This is an experience I will never forget. Thank you to our leader (I can’t remember his name) who gave us the confidence and knowledge to go for it. I will 💯 do this again.
