Big Green Adventures

★★★★★5 star

What a fantastic experience! I booked an early-morning SUP tour on the Gannel Estuary. On the day, the weather was kind. On the river, it was so peaceful and quiet. Paddling upriver into the nature reserve and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Dale was a really thorough, knowledgeable and friendly instructor. He made sure I was confident with water safety and good SUP techniques, while keeping the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable.

A wonderful way to start the day — I’d definitely recommend it! 😊

Guys we’re super friendly in getting us set up with a paddle board and the price for 3 hours (£33) was very reasonable my girls loved it and it was amazing on the gannel as they weren’t worried about falling of so managed to get my 3 year old on it as well! Would definitely highly recommend these guys!

We had the most fantastic experience with Big Green Adventures and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

From the moment we arrived, everyone was welcoming, friendly and professional, making us all feel completely at ease. Our surf instructor, Jackson, was absolutely brilliant. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and had a great way with our children, building their confidence from the very start while making the whole session fun and engaging.

His enthusiasm was infectious, and he struck the perfect balance between keeping everyone safe, teaching great technique and ensuring we all had an amazing time in the water. By the end of the lesson, our kids were standing up on their boards and couldn’t stop talking about it all the way home!

If you’re looking for a family-friendly surf school in Cornwall, Big Green Adventures is the place to go. A huge thank you to Jackson for creating such special memories for our family—we’ll definitely be back on our next visit.
