About us
Mad Ferret Adventure Activities was started in Newquay by Tom Green and Mark Johnston. Tom and Mark are both Newquay locals and have been enjoying the ocean since the early eighties; surfing, swimming, coasteering, surf lifesaving... you name it, they've done it! Between them they have over 50 years experience of the ocean and 11 years experience working as lifeguards on all of Newquay's fantastic beaches.
Mad Ferret began as a specialist coasteering provider but quickly grew to include surfing and bodyboarding schools and now offers a wide range of adventure activities to suit water babies and landlubbers alike.
"We both feel very lucky to have grown up in Newquay and saw an opportunity to share our love of the ocean with others. Coasteering is a truly amazing and unique experience, it is a fantastic way to see Newquay's stunning coastline and a real adrenaline rush! A trip to Newquay wouldn't be complete without trying surfing or bodyboarding, they are both wonderful sports with which the entire family can enjoy the thrill of riding the waves. We're sure you will enjoy your day with us, you'll get to experience just how amazing the ocean is, and with the level of safety we offer, just how much fun it can be. As we always say, if you're mad for it, then go Mad Ferret !!!"
