The small print, part two
How this site earns
Running quarterly sampling trips on three coasts costs money. Here is where it comes from, in plain terms.

Affiliate links
Some "book this" buttons and links on activity pages go to GetYourGuide or Viator. If you book after clicking one, the platform pays us a commission. You pay the platform's normal price; there is no mark-up for arriving through this site, and you are free to book with the operator directly instead.
Pages that contain these links say so near the links. Pages with no booking links earn nothing.
What we do not do
We take no bookings, arrange no trips and make no introductions. There is no private channel where an operator can be recommended to you off the page, and no operator pays us a referral fee, because there is nothing for one to pay for. The only shortlist is the published one, and it comes from the sampling described on the methodology page.
What commission does not touch
- The order of any list. Rankings are editorial and the highest-paying option is often not first.
- Whether an operator is listed at all. Operators without an affiliate programme are listed on the same terms as those with one.
- The verdict. A trip that disappointed says so, whichever platform sells it.
Prices and accuracy
Prices are shown as "from" figures because operators change them by season and by group size. They are taken from operator rate cards or from what we paid, and each page shows the date they were last checked. Treat them as a guide for planning, then confirm the live price at booking.
Sea conditions, licences and opening hours change without notice. We update pages within 7 days of learning about a change, but the operator's own confirmation is the one to rely on for the day you travel.
