Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a brilliant surf lesson with Chris. I have surfed a bit before but Chris was amazing at recapping and helping me to progress wile being super enthusiastic ,and attentive to the whole group. I went on my own to a group lesson and had a great time - plus we had an extra seal up friend! The lesson was at the beautiful Bamburgh and we had beautiful waves! Highly recommend

Big thank you to Emily who has delivered a great introduction to surfing. I was a complete beginner and I caught my first waves standing up on the board 2 hours later.
Very responsive to find the best time slot and location for optimal surfing conditions :)
We also hired later on some equipment from them without any problems. Spot on business!

We had a fantastic time SUP. Ryan & Becky our instructors were brilliant. They were super friendly and super helpful. All 6 of us 3 adults 3 children had a blast. We played lots of games and fell in lots of time. Both Becky & Ryan played joined in & fell in too. They were great with the younger ones who were scared or less confident. Listening to them & giving the right encouragement that was needed.
Those who wanted to paddle out to point went with Ryan , he was very knowledgeable about the area giving us a small history lesson.
Once out to the point we saw seals & dolphins which was amazing.
We enjoyed our lesson so much that we returned a few days later to rent a paddle board ourselves. Jack was again brilliant giving us all the health & safety & advising us tides times and where is the best to paddle.
Thoroughly recommend all at KA adventure

Booked an SUP lesson for myself and my daughter. Couldn't fault the young guy who took us out, extremely knowledgeable and made the entire lesson fun, even got my daughter jumping in off the harbour wall when the lesson was over.
A few days later we decided to hire an SUP and go out ourselves. We called in the day before to book but was told no need to as they weren't busy. The cost was £15 per hour or £25 for 2 hours. The following day we turned up to hire a board for an hour only to be told it's now a minimum 2 hour hire. When I explained we only had a spare hour his response was 'Jesus Christ I can't believe you're quibbling over ten pounds'! After an exchange of words where I pointed out this wasn't the case the day before he threw my money back at me and retorted, that was yesterday and this is today. I wanted to pay for the hire of the SUP but he wouldn't take it and kept repeating take the board and just go. If it wasn't for my young daughter wanting to do it I would have told him where to shove his board! Such a shame this rude and arrogant man spoilt what would have been an outstanding review. I cannot fault the other members of staff but Kev the owner needs to control his attitude, especially in front of children.

Would definitely recommend KA surf school for anyone who is interested in learning to surf. Emily is a brilliant instructor, really patient and attentive, and knows exactly how to try and correct anything that I’m doing wrong. Even in the group lessons she is able to watch and help everyone in the group equally. It’s so great to know that she wants me to progress and improve as much as I want to myself, and she makes the lessons so fun and relaxed. Can’t wait for more lessons and to hopefully keep improving!

We thoroughly enjoyed our beginners’ SUP lesson with Kev earlier this week. He got us all quickly out on the water paddling, supplemented with loads of knowledge, tips & advice. Kev is full of infectious enthusiasm, and always makes if fun, and has a friendly helpful team supporting him.
We loved it so much that we returned yesterday to hire boards and practice our newly acquired skills! A really great activity to do as a family with all levels catered for. FAB!!!!

We had SO much fun on our amazing coasteering experience on the 11th of June (last Friday).
We had booked to go paddle boarding as a big group for a hen do but when Friday came and the winds were too high all the staff were amazing at adapting on the spot and changing our booking to coasteering instead. This last-minute change actually worked out so well as some of the girls in our group were forced out of their comfort zone in doing something they wouldn't otherwise have signed up for.
Toby and Kev (and I want to say Henry?) took our group and we were all immediately put at ease, feeling in safe hands, we had such a fun experience from the offset. They were both amazing at what they do and their enthusiasm created a great atmosphere.
Thank you so much for kicking off the hen weekend with such a high & giving us some hilarious memories. The bride absolutely loved it and we couldn't be happier. I can't recommend you guys enough!!

We booked a two hour surfing lesson for our grandkids (11 and 9) online after having received useful advice from ka by phone. Ryan the instructor was very helpful when we arrived, putting the kids at ease and being very thorough in his explanations. In a mixed age group he was energetic and attentive particularly when the youngest got a little tired towards the end of the session. The grandkids are now much more confident in the water and can't wait to come back. I would thoroughly recommend Ryan and KA

Brilliant experience and the perfect introduction to Paddle boarding. Ryan was a fantastic instructor and the equipment supplied was far superior to other similar organisations I considered in the past. KA’s set up at Beadnell is superb and the beach is perfect for water sports. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable and professional. Catering for all age groups and abilities, they offer superb value for money and I cannot recommend them enough.

We were a group of 2 x young teens, 2x 22 year olds and 2x 50+ and had a great morning exploring the coastal waters. Even in low tide Jack led us through cave pools, jumps into crashing waves and ended with 5 and 7m jumps for those that dared! The guides Jack and Ryan made it fun and interesting…never tasted garlic tasting seaweed before😳 equipment was good and Jack made everyone feel super save with his clear instructions and checking jumps first. Thanks KA Adventures, look forward to coming back and trying out your other activities on offer.
