A guided coasteering tour along Chia’s dramatic shore: walk rock benches, swim crystalline pools, and (optionally) jump from cliffs under professional supervision. This shore excursion blends local history, coastal geology, and hands-on adventure for cruisers and land-based travelers alike.

A salt breeze hits your face as the limestone cliffs of Chia drop into water so clear you can read the seabed. Guides clip helmets and harnesses, call out a safe line, and you step into the intertidal world where rock and sea argue for every footstep. The rhythm is immediate: short scrambles, brief swims, and the option to step off ledges into turquoise pools.
