Our Happy Customers!
My 13 year old nephew and I had a fantastic time yesterday. Despite initial nerves, Andy at Happy Explorer made us both feel safe and confident. The kayaks are great for seeing what you normally wouldn’t, we learned how to navigate wind and current and the seals following us.. was a magical experience. Would definitely do again and recommend to others.

Such an amazing weekend recently had at the ‘fully alive’ retreat. All you could wish for in one place. Stunning accommodation, amazing hosts, action packed adventures, relaxing mindfulness activities, likeminded souls, beautiful nourishing food, lots of fun around the camp fire dancing….the list just goes on…I would highly recommend attending any of Happy Explorers retreats or one of Andy’s future activity sessions.

Brilliant afternoon on the glass bottom kayaks. Andy was very knowledgeable on everything, from what seaweed is edible to info of the local surroundings, really entertaining and plenty to see, the water was so clear. Will be heading out again to try and encounter dolphins or a basking shark and view through the glass. Thanks for a memorable experience with Happy Explorer. We look forward to next time.
