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 contacted Pete whilst we were on holiday in Pembrokeshire and looking for a memorable family adventure on the coast. I loved that Pete's excursions are all bespoke and private bookings only, meaning we got to spend some quality family time together under his guidance, expertise and passion for the coastline. We took our 9 and 6 year old kayaking from Porth Clais, navigating through caves and narrow passages in between the rocks, stopping to study jellyfish, take a dip and take in the breathtaking scenery. He was very natural with the children, engaging them in the surrounding nature and encouraging them to be bold and jump off some rocks into the water. It was hard work, great fun and chilled all at the same time. Pete's expertise and knowledge of the area is fantastic, and he clearly loves what he does. It was a truly memorable afternoon. We can't wait to return to the area and when we do, we'll definitely be booking Pete and seeing what adventure he has in store for us all next

Pete at The Real Adventure Company is simply the best for adventures in Pembrokeshire.

This time we chose surfing having previously coasteered with him in prior years with friends and family.

Pete provided a brilliant surfing/safety briefing at his base near St David's before we are all kitted out with excellent gear and head to a beach with good surf.

His coaching was pitch perfect and as a result were able to get up on the surf boards and have huge amounts of fun catching some waves.

Highly recommend the team.

We went both coasteering and kayaking with the real adventure company. We had the best time on both occasions. Pete, the owner/guide was a great and patient teacher as well as being very knowledgeable about both the sports and the local environment. This company takes out small groups of people belonging to the same family/friendship parties, so each session was individually tailored to our wants and needs. There were two of us for the coasteering and four of us for the kayaking. By the time we had finished we had all enjoyed ourselves immensely as well as learning skills and techniques for each sport. Although I have done both kayaking and coasteering several times before, there is no doubt that Pete was the most skilled and experienced guide that I have ever been out with. This was also the most enjoyable experience that I have ever had.

Would I go back? In a heartbeat!

Four of us went sea kayaking in two double kayaks, an adult and a youngster in each. Pete instilled an air of confidence in our group with his calm, patient approach. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and were thrilled to spot a seal during our trip. We found it easier than expected and will definitely be going again the next time we visit this beautiful area. All the equipment was first class and Pete not not provided expert guidance, but a wealth of interesting information about the coastline. A brilliant way to spend time on the water whether or not you are experienced in kayaking.

An fantastic afternoon sea kayaking around the Pembrokeshire coast visiting caves and winding in and out of the small coves. The scenery was beautiful and we got to see new places and genuinely had a real adventure! Pete was very helpful and made sure we all felt comfortable and enjoyed ourselves whilst providing tips and support so we learned something new and built our confidence. A great experience for small groups of friends and families and good value for money.

We used The Real Adventure Company to provide kayaking for a team building/well-being session for a team away day. Pete and Lyn were fantastic. They are ultimate professionals - communication in the planning process was quick, clear and helpful and they were so knowledgable, reassuring and supportive to all members of staff with varied ability on the day. Pete has excellent knowledge of the local area and tailored the activity due to weather that wasn’t ideal.
Kayaking was so much fun and we will definitely be booking again!

Our family of 5 had a superb afternoon kayaking around the coast of Solva near St. David’s. I echo everything the last few reviews I’ve read have said, Pete is amazing very knowledgeable on the area, great kayaking tips & very friendly, and journey out on water and back was so relaxed, not rushed. Pete takes lots of photos so you don’t have to risk loosing your camera in water and emails them to you very quickly, and they are of great quality, and he doesn’t charge you extra for it. Would most definitely recommend and return. Best kayaking trip we’ve had, & scenery is stunning.

Fantastic 2 mornings out with Pete.

We are a family of 2 parents, 9yo and 8yo and spent a morning kayaking and a morning coasteering. Both were brilliant although I am glad I split them into two mornings not one day as exhausted after each individually.

Pete was fabulous with both the adults and the kids (especially the 8yo who likes to be the centre of attention drama queen) and found just the right level of challenge for us all. He was also understanding when I didn't want to do high jumps and followed our lead about what we enjoyed.

Extra bonus was the google drive full of photos and video from both trips.

We couldn't recommend The Real Adventure Company more.

We have just completed 3 days of adventures with the Real Adventure Company. Pete has extensive knowledge about the local environment and has a way of sharing his knowledge in a fun and fascinating way. He has a great way of making the activities accessible to all from the youngest to the oldest. You always feel like you're in extremely
safe hands as he's very experienced and knows and understands the sea and landscape implicitly. The equipment used is excellent and the Real Adventure wetsuits help to keep you very warm on a fresh day.

We organised an afternoon of Coasteering with our Explorer Scouts; The Pinewood Seahorses. Pete and Lynne were absolutely brilliant with our 12 teenagers and coached, coaxed and encouraged them to reach out of their comfort zones. Everyone had an incredible experience and are still talking about how much fun, adventure and adrenaline-fuelled excitement they all had.

I would have no hesitation in recommending The Real Adventure Company.
