Passionate. Experienced. Adventurous.

A glimpse into our world.
Jethro Moore (Jet)
Managing Director
Jethro sets the standard for Adventure Beyond, establishing the company in 1997. Following a very respectable career as an international slalom kayaker, Jet has become a prominent figure in both the activity provision and outdoor education scenes.
Not just a keen paddler, Jet also enjoys climbing, coasteering, and the occasional expedition. His work has seen him partner with universities, schools, and youth groups across the UK, Europe, and the rest of the World.

Rhod Arnold
Operations Manager
Rhod has been a close friend of Jet since they studied together at college. He has a keen interest in travel and adventure. When he's not leading our activities, he will likely be found traveling the coastlines of Wales, looking for the perfect wave to surf.
