Big Blue Adventures is a Welsh business providing company offsites and group adventure travel across Europe. Through these multi-night group getaways, teams can discover how to reconnect offline, something that is particularly important in a digital-focused world rife with feelings of disconnect and isolation. Handling every aspect of planning the trip, the dedicated team behind the business offer a seamless experience, culminating in a fully bespoke adventure. We caught up with the founder, Daniel Manley, for more.
From its home in Cardiff, Big Blue Adventures stands as the convenient, one-stop shop for those in search of high-quality company offsites and private group trips. The team here cover all the bases for their clients, providing everything from stellar group accommodation options through to beginner-friendly outdoor activities and unique travel experiences. Across these adventures, the business prides itself on its multi-award-winning customer service and the good vibes it delivers at every turn.
Of course, all of this begins with its choice selection of stunning destinations across some of the most beautiful countries in Europe. Be it the vibrant cityscapes of Lisbon, the rolling hills of Snowdonia, or the historic beauty of the coastal city of Split, there is something for every group to enjoy across Big Blue Adventures’ portfolio of dynamic locations. Across these destinations, some of the activities available include coasteering, hiking, sea kayaking, surfing, ziplining, mountain biking, canyoning, and many more.
The business was born out of a love of water sports, as well as the recognition that they are beneficial to people on both a mental and a physical level. Since opening its doors in 2016, Big Blue Adventures has sought to capture this essence and inject it into every offsite and group experience it delivers. Through activities like those mentioned above, people are empowered to push through mental obstacles, stepping out of their comfort zones and being cheered on by the rest of their group as they do so.
“Nothing beats those post-adventure smiles.”
As touched on already, these moments are crucial when it comes to establishing connections and building bonds, things which simply cannot happen from behind a computer screen or with the occasional company meal. Daniel explained: “With remote/hybrid now being the most popular work model, it’s more important than ever to bring teams together.” By exploring the initiatives offered by Big Blue Adventures, companies show they care about employee wellbeing and can also unite their international workforces.
It is clear that these trips and group activities are beneficial, but why should a company choose to go with Big Blue Adventures over its competitors? The reasons are simple – beginning with the fact that the team here employ a comprehensive approach to these offsites that sees them be there from initial contact through to the running of the event or activity. The delivery of such a personable approach by safe and capable hands sees clients afforded peace of mind, allowing them to have fun and join in without worrying about the logistics.
When Daniel said the team at Big Blue Adventures take care of everything except the flights, she really meant it. This includes, transfers, accommodation, food and drink, activities, the hiring of meeting rooms, communication between parties, taking the photos, putting together a highlights video, as well as sourcing gift bags and team prizes. All of this sees the business live up to its moniker of a ‘one-stop-shop’ for its clients.
Beyond this, clients can feel positive about their choice to partner with Big Blue Adventures thanks to its promise to provide eco-conscious travel across its corporate retreats, something it achieves as a result of collaborations with local suppliers and donations to rewilding projects including Mossy Earth. These initiatives underpin what Big Blue Adventure is all about, and they have played a role in it receiving such prestigious accolades as a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, where it has only five-star reviews.
Delivering epic getaways with help from its expert team, Big Blue Adventures has grown to incredible heights since it was launched by a full-time events manager in Cardiff almost a decade ago. With ambitious expansion plans in its future, all that is left is to congratulate the business on its impressive win and wish it all the best.
