Cornwall is recognised as one of the UK’s premier locations for coasteering. With over 400 miles of coastline, much of which is rugged cliffs, it’s easy to see why.

- What is Coasteering?
-
Coasteering is a fun-filled journey along a rocky section of coast, spent mostly in the zone between high and low tide. More of an amalgamation of various activities, rather than just one activity, coasteering involves a mixture of wild swimming, cliff jumping, scrambling and climbing to negotiate this inter-tidal zone. The combination of physical activity with the exploration of otherwise inaccessible coastline, all taking place in the challenge of the high-energy coastal environment, makes coasteering a must-do activity!
- What Equipment is Provided for Coasteering?
-
When you come coasteering with Kernow Coasteering, we will provide with top-quality equipment. We will give you a full-length, winter wetsuit made by C-Skins. We will also give you a helmet and buoyancy aid made by our friends at Nookie.
You simply need to bring some lace-up shoes you can wear to protect your feet from the sharp rocks and barnacles. You also need to bring a pair of shorts that you can wear over the wetsuit we lend you. This gives you some extra padding where it's needed, as well as giving some protection to our wetsuits. Oh, and don't forget your swimwear and a towel.
- What is the Minimum Age for Coasteering and Rock Climbing?
-
The minimum age for coasteering is 9 years old. Please let us know if you have young children when booking, as rougher sea conditions may not be suitable for them. If this is the case, we will advise you on the best day during your visit to come out coasteering with us.
Note that children younger than 14 years of age must be accomapnied by an adult to particpate in any of our coasteering adventures.
To enjoy rock climbing with us, participants need to be 5 years old, so rock climbing is a perfect adventure activity for families with younger children.

-

See our Prices page for full information.
- Is Coasteering Safe?
-
Yes, coasteering is a very safe activity! We've crunched the numbers and data collected by the National Coasteering Charter shows that coasteering is comparably safe to other adventurous activities. All activities have their elements of risk, and that's why we recommend you choose a company, such as Kernow Coasteering, who have your safety in mind throughout your coasteering experience.
- I'm scared of heights / jumping - is Coasteering for me?
-
Jumping is only one small element of coasteering and you do not have to jump off anything you don't want to while coasteering with us. That's right, you can complete an entire coasteering session with us and not do a single jump if you don't want to. And there are still many great reasons to give coasteering a go, such as exploring the beautiful Cornish coastline, enjoying the feeling of the raw Atlantic Ocean, as well as scrambling, swimming and rummaging around all the exciting features found on our coasteering routes.
