Coasteering is combination of rock climbing and swimming. Low level sea cliff traversing allows you to see areas of the coastline inaccessible by normal means. Making your way around a headland dodging the waves and jumping from the cliffs where necessary to swim across zawns, experiencing the tidal elevation only felt under the cliff tops, combine to create a wonderful, exciting experience. You really feel the oceans power and graces as well as experiencing what the wildlife of the sea do.

No experience is required. Our instructors will teach you all the necessary skills to take part in any of the activities. The only thing you need to bring is your enthusiasm.

Safety is our absolute priority. Throughout our 6 years of operation, we have developed comprehensive safety systems. The wilderness environment in which we operate is often demanding and testing. Therefore we have developed activities that are safe, exciting and adventurous.
