Such a fantastic time - went with two teenagers and they also had a great time. It was a group of eight of us with one guide - perfect weather, and really good camaraderie as well. The guide was so friendly and great at keeping a group of different families together and checking in with everyone. Had such a lovely time, will definitely be back again.
We had a wonderful paddle out to Old Harry’s rocks with my family. Lots of fun and guides were very friendly and informative
An excellent experience with knowledgeable, helpful and patient guides (they definitely needed it with us as we were all complete beginners!). Would definitely recommend 👍
Professional and well run activities. We've did 3 activities with Fore Adventure, all with Kevin. We did the 2 hour kayak first. My husband was quite anxious at but Kevin quickly put him at ease and we enjoyed it so much that we went back to do the 3 hour trip. The 2 hour trip was an excellent taster and introduction but the 3 hour one was amazing, seeing the cliffs and exploring caves from the water was awesome. We were both so glad we had done it. All throughout the trip Kevin kept asking if we felt OK. Finally I had my first ever paddle boarding lesson. Again Kevin was very calming and gave clear instruction with constructive advice if I was doing it wrong 🤔 We would highly recommend this company for your activities and we are sure that all of the instructors operate to the same high standards. Thank you Kevin for 3 fab adventures 👍 Jane and Mike
Husband, brother in law, 15yr old son and 13yr daughter. Had an absolutely amazing experience. The instructor made it so enjoyable and was so kind and informative. Elliott has fans for life! We will look for other opportunities to use Fore based on this experience!
Fabulous. Looked after throughout by super friendly guide Lucy. Spectacular views, and amazing to explore around the base of Old Harry Rocks.
We did the guided tour to Old Harry's Rock. I would highly recommend it. We were really well looked after and we had an amazing time. Worth doing while in Dorset.
We had Kevin as our guide and it was honestly the best sea kayaking experience we’ve had. The combination of expert guidance and stunning coastline is phenomenal. We were beginners but at no point felt unsafe or out of our depth. I would highly recommend this tour as a fun way to experience what the area has to offer! (Just to note that payment for parking at the National Trust middle beach site can take more time - had to phone justpark due to poor signal - so arrive well ahead of schedule!)
Fun 2 hours. Felt well supported if it had been required but also independent. Kevin, our guide, was very friendly. Told us a bit about the area and enjoyed our little foray onto the beach by Old Harry before turning back.
Amazing trip perfect conditions and wonderful host coach and leader Dan
