Coasteering with The Adventure Team
What is Coasteering?
Coasteering is an exhilarating combined rock and water activity that can be delivered to every individual level which makes this activity suitable for those with no fear of heights or water as well as those who may not be quite so confident. During your Coasteering trip you will learn rock climbing and scrambling techniques as well as how to jump from great heights safely.
Wearing sturdy footwear, wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets, participants travel along a section of coastline; sometimes swimming in the sea, sometimes scrambling on rocks and jumping from rocks into the sea.

A standard Coasteering trip lasts 2.5 hours. Longer sessions can be expected when trying Extreme Coasteering which involves abseiling as well.

What do other people think of Coasteering with The Adventure Team?
“I think the thing that makes it so appealing to people is that it seems dangerous – but we know it isn’t – for example you probably don’t do any jumps higher than 20 foot but I bet when people go home and tell their mates about it they haven’t done a jump under 40 foot.”
“Everyone should give it a go!!!!!! Coasteering is a blast!”
“For me it was overcoming all sorts of anxieties about my fear of water and really feeling I had achieved something when I managed that jump off the steps at the pier.”
“For me it has not only reinforced friendships, it has forged new ones as well.”
“It allows you to push your boundaries in a semi controlled environment, you know no matter how big the jump or the swell the team have your back and are looking out for you at all times.”
“I think the thing that made it work for me though was the camaraderie of the team (participants and you guys) that will stay with me. Sounds dramatic, but it really had an impact on my confidence and my trust in others. I know the next time I go I will jump in (even if you have to catch me). Even that offer had impact – recognising that I am nervous when it comes to water but respecting that was the case and trying to help me to overcome it. And all while having a good laugh!”
“It is exhilarating, fun and definitely blows the cob webs away!”
