Essential Adventure saved the stag do from the brink of disaster. I was made best man at very short notice with very little time to arrange an awesome weekend away for the stag and friends. I was struggling to arrange accommodation and activities for a reasonable price and figured I'd ask Essential Adventures what they could offer. I was so glad that I did! I was able to get accommodation for two nights, raft building and an evening in a comedy club with food all for around £150. This was far less than I was able to achieve on my own. The organisation was flawless and the weekend was a huge success. Thanks guys!

the guide was friendly, experienced and knowledgable. the weekend was well organised, well run and the booking site was very user friendly. the price was far below what i would expect to pay for the activities we enjoyed. Many thanks

The service that both Matt and James provided were of very high standard. They were always on hand to help me with the changes I had to make along the way and were always quick to come back to me.

Activity not as advertised, poor communication and I was refused a refund for an appalling event. After weeks of going back and forth and being challenged on my version of events I was offered £10 back for each member of my party. This was pitiful but I didn't have the energy to argue with this company anymore. Overall a disorganized and unprofessional company.

Essential Adventure made a potentially tricky process of arranging a stag do for 26 people both easy and efficient. James was always available to help the process along and make everything as simple as possible. Highly recommended.

Everything was booked correctly and all the information we required for each day was all given in full. This really helped. Matt was the person i dealt with and i must admit he was perfect. His communication was good even after the event. I really do appreciate everything that this company did for my group. We cycled across Wales in 5 days including walking Snowden and Pen Y Fan. Thankyou Matt.

The booking and arrangements was all handled by James who was helpful from the start. It made everything so much easier for everyone to pay their own fees individually at their own time. The package we booked was brilliant and accomodation was nice, clean and in a lovely area. I would recommend the company to anyone else planning a hen do.

When requesting a call back it was the same day. Any questions that I had were answered the same day also. Polite and helpful throughout the while planning process. Will definitely recommend Essential Adventure, they take the stress away from planning everything separately. Hen do was a blast, escape rooms were fantastic and the hotel was lovely and well worth the money. Thank you!!

I did a lot of research about hosting a stag do and looked at various options but after speaking with Matt and James I found Essential Adventure to be the perfect fit for me. From the offset, they were friendly, easy to approach, available outside of normal office hours and willing to answer any questions. They took care of everything for me! The biggest problem I was worried about was the money but these guys sent up individual payments which can be monitored and see who's paid what and the best thing, I didn't have to worry about the money side. Their website was simple to use and gave fantastic information for the day. I like to plan everything so to have everything on one page was amazing! The weekend itself was perfect, well organised which allowed me to enjoy the events rather than worrying about the next thing. I would certainly recommend Essential Adventure to anyone. Both Matt and James were fantastic. If you're hosting a stag do, hen do or any similar event, give these guys a call as they wont disapoint you

This company cancelled less than 24 hours before they were to organise a Sports Activity session for my daughter's Hen Weekend. Their only alternative suggestion, an hour in a Sports Centre (at a different time to our original booking) for which they expected us to pay transport costs, was ridiculously inadequate. They had taken over £400 from us in advance. Absolutely pathetic service from Jamie and his manager was 'on holiday'.

I asked essential adventure to source 30 Zorb balls for a time, date, and loctation I supplied. They organised this impecably, and at a very competitive price. Thankyou

Awesome weekend guys, thank you very much. Very helpful on the phone and very understanding too!! Rage buggies were wicked, don't think my future wife will be happy when I come home with one though!! Bristol is a great place to go. Will definitely go back one day and we would all use essential adventure again in the future. Joe, Portsmouth!!!!!

Trying to reach my contact during the organising of the trip and on the day especially was difficult. The dock/birth had been changed but no one told me so we spent 30 mins of our boat ride time looking for it whilst no one would answer their phone to help. We ended up having only 1 hour in total on the boat ride. The package agreed was changed without my knowledge luckily I questioned it, from party boat, bar on board, provide music, prosecco on arrival, with snacks to private boat no bar, no snacks, music connection didn't work, and white wine that no one likes the girls drink gallons of prosecco! Apart from the skipper Ray being amazing and his lovely puppy Cheshire the rest was a joke.
