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.

Thank you Andy for a brilliant day of sea kayaking along the Anglesey coastline. It’s a day I will talk about enthusiastically for some time to come!

My family and I have been coming here for years but Andy took us on a fascinating 3 hour tour of the Rhoscolyn headland and told us so many thing we didn’t know about the area. The focus was on geology but there was also a great deal of local history and fun stories and anecdotes. The walk itself gave some beautiful views of the coastland and the pace was not too fast or slow. Would happily recommend for a morning or afternoon activity. Bonus: we were also allowed to take our dogs with us!

What an incredibly rude middle class twit of a teacher who teaches the kayaking on roscolyn. I was minding my own on the beach getting ready to kayak and as he walks past with his group he starts nastily criticising my perfectly good life jacket because it isn’t one of the latest types. Obviously got self esteem issues if he tries to prove his worth like this. He is lucky I didn’t knock him out - then where would his group have been? Can’t be much fun he seemed like a real jumped up misery of a tutor. Put a paddle wrong and you will be a laughing stock no doubt. I should have punched him.l really.

Hi
Sorry I have only just seen your review. I was very disappointed to read this, I run 90% of BActive sessions myself and I don't recognise the events you describe. We certainly don't engage in criticising people's equipment. We are one of several organisations that work out of Rhoscolyn and I'd certainly hope it wasn't any one of our instructors that you met.
If you are back in Rhoscolyn, please get in touch. You'd be welcome to join one of our sessions for free to see who we are and what we do.
Regards
Andy Short, Owner

From first contact to the activities themselves we found Andy knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. We were a large group of mixed ability and ages, nothing was to much trouble. Throughout the activities all commented how safe they felt whilst thoroughly enjoying the experience. We will certainly be back and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending B - Active to anyone looking for a fun filled outdoor experience.

We did the half day sea kayaking course and went out with Andy. What an absolute fantastic day we had! Andy was a fantastic guide, patient and knowledgeable, we got too see lots of wildlife and will definitely be back for another trip!

A wonderful introduction to sea kayaking in a gorgeous part of the world! We went on a family introduction session with our 2 teenagers. There was another family on the session, so a total of 8 of us including the instructor. All the equipment we needed was provided, and Andy quickly sussed out how confident we felt and tailored the afternoon accordingly. It was such good fun, and we all felt in completely safe hands. We will all be doing this again - we loved it!

Kayak at Rhoscolyn was the highlight of our holiday. Beautiful place, patient instructions, great equipment. Who knew that sea gooseberries were a thing? Thank you, it was magical.

Fantastic time yesterday, we were lucky to have calm seas and sun in October. Our first time in a kayak and not the last, Andy is knowledgeable, approachable and clearly passionate about his interests and an all round top bloke.
We hope to return to kayak and try the other activities next year. I would recommend this to anybody regardless of age or ability!

Darren - I know that Andy has been out of action this winter as he had to go into hospital - may be best contacting him via the B-active website as he may have not had time to check up on his trip advisor posts. He is now on the road to recovery Hope this helps. Conor
