Is It For Everyone?
Absolutely! Coasteering is an accessible activity that you can make as challenging or as easy as you wish. It’s totally up to you. You will need to be able to swim though, but our experienced guides will teach you how to swim defensively, exit deep water, and safely cliff jump (if you choose to).
All of the trails are thoroughly explored in advance, meaning that there are always multiple ways of completing them. So in answer to the previous question, there’s no need to worry. You won’t be stranded at the top of a cliff. There’s always another way.
It’s also a great activity for anyone who wants a bit of an adventure and to explore the Cornish coast like they wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. You can get close up to wildlife, swim through large smugglers caves and see the natural sea fauna.
Is It Dangerous?
Nope, not if you go with an experienced guide. Ok, so there’s an element of risk in whatever you do, but we provide safety equipment, detailed safety talks and all our coasteering trips are planned by our experts. We know the safest terrains along the coast that will also give you a diverse adventure.
And whilst safety is our number one priority, enjoyment is a close second. Our coasteering groups are small, meaning the guide can help individuals and push them out of their comfort zones (not literally, obviously). We support you to do as much as you feel comfortable with whilst ensuring you have fun!
Our guides are also well trained in preserving the natural coastline and environment. They know when local wildlife may be breeding or nesting and leave them in peace to do their thing. They can also point out local seabirds, seals and other wildlife.
