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.

We had a brilliant morning gorge scrambling for a stag party. Paul was a brilliant guide and the valley was stunning. A solid couple of hours or so and was a great experience and also to gain some history into the area was special too. Thanks for a brilliant time

We spent 2 hours paddle boarding with Paul on the Wye. Great advice and support ideal for those new to paddle boarding. Beautiful surroundings and felt very safe. We really enjoyed it and would do it again! Thanks Paul.

Gorge scrambling with Justin was awesome! We are a family of 5 with 3 boys aged 9, 11 and 14 and all of us had a great time. We crawled under rocks, climbed waterfalls and walked through a 100m tunnel under a viaduct... it was exciting, challenging and fun !!
Justin was a great guide and explained everything clearly... thank you Justin! Oh and when they tell you, you only get wet up to your knees (don't believe them!) hahaha

An amazing outdoor climbing experience for the family. All 5 of us (2 adults, 9 yr old and 2 teens) loved every minute of it.
Paul was great, explaining everything and getting everyone involved in setting up, belaying and climbing. He setup 3 climbs which we moved between, allowing everyone to find their level and challenge themselves if they wanted to.
A fun, calm and memorable experience for everyone. Definitely recommend based on our family experience.

My grandaughter and I had an excellent time paddle boarding. We were with another family of five and it worked really well. The safety instructions were clear and explained well. We had tuition throughout for which I was grateful! I was a little apprehensive but I managed to stand up and stay up for a while. Thoroughly recommend this.

We had a wonderful time rock climbing at Symonds Yat.
Family of four, with teenage girls.
The setting was fantastic and despite the rain we stayed dry under the trees.
We had done some indoor climbing before but the outdoor experience was so much more interesting.
Our coach Sarah was brilliant and really helped everyone.
It was not just climbing, everyone got involved with belaying and controlling the ropes etc.
The 3 hours flew by. The girls really enjoyed it.
The cafe at the car park also served some lovely paninis for after climbing lunch.

We had to change our activity from gorge scrambling to rock climbing due to the dry conditions and very little water in the gorge. Paul let us know a few days ahead of our activity and and we happily switched. Really easy booking and communication 👍🏻
We just wanted to say what an amazing time we all had climbing this afternoon. Sarah, our instructor, was absolutely brilliant! We have climbed once before as a family with ropes, under instruction, but spent a lot of time watching. Sarah was so good a working out our capabilities and wanted us all to get the most out of our afternoons activity (2 adults, 2 children 8yo & 10yo). Sarah gave us everything we needed to try new stuff, learn new skills and be confident with our climbing. I thanked Sarah for being fab but just wanted to say it again! Climbing together as a family is such a great thing to be able to do together and Sarah made that possible so we all felt challenged. Thank you for a great afternoon climbing in a gorgeous location

Fun and memorable experience stand-up paddle boarding on the River Wye. Sarah was an excellent activity leader, and we had great fun. This is a safe, beautiful location to SUP in, highly recommended.

We did guided paddleboarding at Monmouth as a family, it was our first time on a SUP. We had a friendly welcome, with clear instruction, and had a lot of fun. We were glad to have chosen a guided session for our first time trying SUP, and Justin was excellent. We were given different exercises to try, but there was no pressure to try anything we weren't comfortable with. The kids wanted to mess about and jump in, and were told where to do this safely. The river at Monmouth is gentle and was an ideal spot for learning. The equipment was good. Highly recommended.
