About
Coasteering is an adventure activity that includes short sections of traversing around sea cliffs close to the water as well as short swims and lots of jumps from the cliffs into the sea. Jumps can be from as low as one foot up to 20 feet!
You just pick the height to jump from according to how confident you feel!
Our Coasteering sessions are different to sea level traversing, which usually involves the use of ropes and climbing harnesses and the aim is to stay dry. Coasteering is more about getting wet, swimming and jumping and scrambling round rocks.
More info
You learn about the coastline at the same time as having fun and testing your skill and endurance. You also get the opportunity to explore areas of the coast that you would never normally see. Coasteering is ideally a group activity that allows you to have fun with friends, family or corporate colleagues.
