ABOUT PRESELI VENTURE

Pembrokeshire’s thriving adventure scene all began with Preseli Venture back in the 80s, who, along with a few other guides, pioneered the now global phenomenon of “coasteering”. For over 35 years, Preseli Venture set the bar for sustainable adventure tourism, working in harmony with the astounding wilderness of their surrounding environment and maintaining a working partnership with the National Trust and National Parks to use their nearby pristine locations for coasteering, surfing and sea kayaking adventures.

After what seems like a very, very long day at sea, Preseli Venture have finally come ashore, shed their wetsuits and closed the doors of their onsite adventure centre. They now work with an exciting range of local activity partners whom they trust to bring you the same high-quality experiences.

Preseli Venture’s activity agency team is comprised of Pembrokeshire’s most enthusiastic and knowledgeable adventure aficionados who endeavour to curate the most exhilarating and awe-inspiring experiences for every visitor. Whether you’re young or old, first-timers or seasoned adventurers, Preseli Venture knows the best places to meet your adventurous edge!
