What an experience!

Christmas pressie from our children and what a memory! Boat trip around St Ives Bay was really informative and the team on the craft were excellent and clearly wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. The 9 mile walk was beautiful and we saw parts of the coast we would have never dreamt of seeing. Then comes the helicopter flight .... what an experience. Pilot Alex was very informative and really made the trip a true adventure. Loved, loved, loved it!
