About

  • Kids & Family Coasteering is a super fun adventure combining Cliff Jumping, swimming, climbing and walking along the rocky shoreline of the Algarve, where the minimum age required is only 8 years old.
  • Just like our famous 'adults' Coasteering, but done in a easier and safer part of the coast, which has more exit points, less climbing and swimming (the tougher parts of Coasteering).
  • There are even more jumping spots then the adults version! But between 0 - 5 meters high and one with 8 meters for the more experienced.
  • Adults and teenagers will absolutely enjoy this route too, there's a lot of adventure and challenges for everyone.
  • Our stunning Coasteering location is right in the beautiful Natural Park of Costa Vicentina, between Sagres and Lagos, just south of the small village of Raposeira.
  • After getting ready with wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet and shoes, accessing the conditions and a safety briefing, we'll walk down to the water's edge and start our route exploring the Coastline, its nooks and crannies, amazing cliffs, rock formations, discovering some coastal life forms and a couple local traditions and last but not least: Cliff Jumping into the Atlantic ocean water.
  • You'll be swimming in the ocean, inside sea caves, climbing some easy rocks and cliffs, walking over the rocky shores and cliffjumping in a variety of spots, starting with some small jumps to practice and have fun and later some higher jumps for a great challenge and adrenaline rush!
  • Pictures and videos are included, our guides will do that for you and you'll receive them by email afterwards!
  • This tour is ideal for families who like adventure, swimming and jumping in the sea and a bit of climbing, with children 8 years of age and older.
  • Everybody over 13 years old? Then try the 'adults' Coasteering
