Experience the coastal adventure of a lifetime at a level and pace to suit you. This full-day activity combines Coasteering and Kayaking, allowing you to explore the secret caves, calm bays and golden beaches of the St Davids Peninsula. Depending on the weather, you might even get to snorkel or enjoy a spot of fishing. There’s no set timetable – we can stop wherever and whenever we want!

Suitable for all ages and abilities. We provide a sit-on-top sea kayak that’s easy to control and very stable. The open cockpit means you can even work on your tan while you paddle.

By Us

There may be times when we need to make necessary changes to existing bookings due to extreme weather or staff sickness (rare). In these cases we will do what we can to let you know of changes prior to the start of your session. In the event you are un-contactable prior to the session, TYF will let you know of changes on arrival in St Davids or at your activity venue, at which time we can discuss the options available.

We are in the business of adventure, which means that if the weather changes, we sometimes need to change our programme. In the event that the session you booked is unable to take place, we will offer an alternative adventure activity that is suitable for the conditions.

If TYF decide that the conditions are unsuitable for any activity, we will rearrange your booking or offer a voucher that you can use in the following twelve months. Refunds will be at the managers discretion.

If due to government guidance you are unable to make your booking then a full refund will be provided. We require notification within 48 hours of such guidance being released by the government.

11. Safety & Fitness

TYF’s mission is to maximise positive experience, adventure and learning for all of our customers. If participants choose to ignore reasonable instructions, TYF’s Adventure guides have the right to exclude them from the whole or part of their session and cannot accept any responsibility for any liability, loss expenses or damages arising as a result.

Safety is our highest priority and we only take out adventurers who are fit and free from the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs prior and during their activity.

We can store phones, wallets or keys whilst you are with us and it helps us if you minimise the amount of belongings to bring with you. Items left in our care are left at the owners’ own risk and personal items taken on sessions remain participants’ responsibility.
