Happy St Dwynwen's Day!

No need to worry though if you didn't arrange a surprise for your loved one in time for St Dwynwen's Day, as you still have plenty of time to prepare for Valentine's Day on 14th February.

We have fantastic Valentine's Day ideas for you to choose from, great activity Experience Days, overnight spa packages and weekend breaks in Wales.

Horse riding Weekend ideal for Hens!

If you're anything like me, I always vow to start the year as I mean to go on. Making a hair appointment and sticking to it, going to the dentist for a scale and polish, not forgetting anybodies birthday and always sending them a card.

I'm going to the dentist today but I completely forgot about my Uncle George's birthday on 1st January.

January and February are seemingly a very popular time for the arrangement of hen and stag parties.

We have a fine selection of stag breaks and hen weekends away in Wales, we can cater for all budgets, can tailor make a package to suit your preferences and guarantee a good time.

A popular package for hens is our Horse Riding Break in South Wales. I think the setting of a cosy Victorian guest House with a log fire and two days of riding through the Black Mountains in the company of your best mates accentuates it's appeal.

We also have a Horse Riding Break in North Wales too which offers riding with the picturesque Snowdonia National Park as your backdrop.

Feel free to get in touch if it's your mission to arrange a fantastic hen or stag party in Wales.

The Big Blue Experience

Big Blue offer some fantastic adventure activities on a huge expanse of beach in Pembrokeshire.

Their enthusiasm and passion for watersports is evident which is why their courses are so popular, bringing visitors to partake in their activities with the beautiful Pembrokeshire National Park as a sublime backdrop.

The Big Blue Experience should be felt by everyone, in addition to their existing portfolio they now offer Zap Cat Coasteering and Surfing.

Zap Cat Coasteering is a fantastic invention. It combines the high speed power of a Zap Cat, using the very wet inflatable to zip around, discovering hidden spots ideal for Coasteering, an adventure activity where you scramble along rocks, jump from the cliffs and swim in the sea!

Surfing is an old fashioned favourite that appeals to all ages and learning with the masters is a must. Let the Big Blue Experience beginners Surfing lessons teach you how to ride the waves at Newgale beach, a 2 mile stretch of amazing beach.

Alongside these new activities, the Big Blue Experience incorporates Kitesurfing, Paddleboarding, Wakeboarding, Powerkiting, Kiteboarding and Zap Cat Power Boating.

Whatever your thrill, Big Blue have got it covered.
