Coasteering
Try the newest and most exciting adventure sport in Cornwall. This is high-octane exploration of the rugged coastline with something for everyone: climb along the cliffs, swim through white water and into caves, and leap off progressively higher jumps. Investigate unseen areas of the beautiful coast under the supervision of our seasoned guides, all qualified beach lifeguards and trained coasteering instructors. Join us away from the crowded beaches and experience the wild beauty of North Cornwall's coastline.
All our coasteering venues are within a short drive of Polzeath Beach. Typically a session runs for three hours with two hours in the water and on the cliffs. Introductory, intermediate and advanced routes are available. Participants must be 10 years or over and competent swimmers (i.e. be able to swim 50M in a pool unaided).
We provide all equipment; buoyancy device, helmet, a super warm 5mm winter wetsuit and thick soled wetsuit boots. If you prefer to wear you own wetsuit or your own boots then feel free to bring them along.

Introduction to Coasteering
Port Quinn Coasteer (4 miles from Polzeath).
Explore the caves, scramble over rock platforms, climb above deep water and take on jumps (all jumps are entirely optional). Port Quinn is a beautiful and historic natural port and as such is more protected from ocean swell than our other venues. This protection from the swell and all the excellent climbing and jumping features makes Port Quinn the perfect introduction venue.
Port Quinn is a requirement for under 18’s wanting to try out our intermediate venues.
The Introduction to Coasteering costs £35 per person. We provide all equipment; buoyancy device, helmet, a super warm 5mm winter wetsuit and wetsuit boots.

Intermediate Coasteering
Port Gaverne (8 miles from Polzeath) or
Polzeath Coasteers.
Both of these destinations are excellent coasteering venues but with very different features. Port Gaverne offers awesome cave exploration, suberb climbing routes and sensational jumps. Polzeath is a coastal journey and exploration taking in cave swims, rock scrambling, brilliant swell features and exceptional jumps.
You can expect some good swell, involving climbing and some heady jumps. Intermediate venues require the participant to be confident in the water, we recommend you try the Introduction session first (this is a requirement for under 18s)
The intermediate coasteering costs £40 per person. We provide all equipment; buoyancy device, helmet, a super warm 5mm winter wetsuit and wetsuit boots.

Advanced Coasteering
The advanced route is only available on request and is designed for the experienced coasteerer who requires a more significant test of their skills and fitness. The route takes approximately four hours and covers a long journey, taking in enormous cave systems, open water swims, rock scrambling, hard climbing and large jumps all with appreciable swell.
The advanced coasteering costs £70 per person as we use reduced instructor ratios. We provide all equipment; buoyancy device, helmet, a super warm 5mm winter wetsuit and wetsuit boots.
