Coasteering involves travelling along the line where the sea meets the land known as the intertidal zone. You’ll be in and out of the water scrambling, climbing, and traversing your way along the water edge, swimming across pools & plunging into the ocean. You could very well head inland from the cliff, exploring narrow gullies and sea caves.
Common features in coasteering routes include scrambling, climbing over rocks or swim- walking through gullies & caves. You might also get to experience features created by the tides like sluices, whirlpools and pour-overs.

One reason that makes coasteering such a popular activity is that no previous experience is required to take part. As long as you are happy to get wet and have a basic level of fitness. After getting changed and having the safety briefing, you will be able to enjoy all that coasteering has to offer & we must stress jumps are challenge by choice.

It is not necessary to be a strong swimmer to take part in a coasteering adventure. The wetsuit and buoyancy aids we wear give us a great deal of flotation, making the task of swimming easier than swimming unassisted. Also, no single stretch of swimming should be more than fifty metres under normal conditions.

Not being able to swim does not necessarily mean that you cannot come coasteering. As long as you are happy to float in a buoyancy aid, you will be able to take part on a calm day. So if you are a non-swimmer and want to try coasteering, let us know. We would advise that you have some flexibility in which days you can come out with us. When the seas are rougher, non-swimmers may be unable to manage.

Coasteering is perceived by some as a dangerous activity. This may be partially attributable to the media. Like many adventure sports, coasteering maybe only really gets media coverage when something goes wrong. Also, there is the possibility of confusing coasteering with tomb- stoning, the latter referring to the pursuit of purely seeking high drops into water to jump off.

The reality is that coasteering is a very safe adventure activity. As with all adventure activities, it is impossible to remove risk altogether, but these can be managed to very acceptable levels. We recommend that you only go coasteering with a provider who is a member of the National Coasteering Charter, an organisation of individuals and providers whose collective aim is to ‘promote safe coasteering’.
