Newquay Coasteering

Coasteering is the latest adrenaline sport to hit the UK.

Wearing a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and safety equipment, you’ll get to discover the coast around Newquay and immerse yourself in the local sea life!

Newquay has a spectacular coast and the best way to explore it is from the sea: we’ll take you right to the heart of the coastline and over the course of your session you’ll explore caves, duck through coves, negotiate rock jumps, plunge pools and whirl pools.

The local wildlife will offer a few surprises: you’ll see plenty of sea and birdlife, and may even catch up with dolphins or seals - or even spot a basking shark!

Our Coasteering mission will take you around cliffs, smugglers caves and some of Newquay’s more secretive beaches. You’re guaranteed a real buzz as you traverse around narrow ledges and, if you want a real rush, leap from the cliffs into the sea glistening far below.

Your Coasteering mission starts and ends at our centre, 100 yards from Fistral beach. There will be at least two instructors with you throughout the experience, showing you the best spots and ensuring that you are enjoying yourself in a safe environment!

Sessions last between two and three hours and you’ll be fully equipped with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet and wetsuit boots.

Sessions cost £40 pp - (group discounts available)

'Absolutely spot on both the surfing and coasteering was brilliant the crew was really friendly. Rob and Aidan helped me to set this up gave me a great deal. Many thanks and see you again.'

"I took my platoon of 25 men coasteering for adventurous training, with none of us having done it before. It was absolutely awesome and all the boys loved it. The jumps were high enough to challenge the men, some had to take a bit of time before making the final plunge.

Excellent fun and a great break from military exercises and guards. The instructors were brilliant and made the day the success it was"
