On the Water

Coasteering

Scramble, swim and jump along a rocky coastline with a guide. Coasteering means moving along the shore without a boat. You climb over rocks, swim through gaps and jump into the sea from small ledges, led by a guide.

You wear a wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid, and the guide picks a route to match the tide and the group. Expect two to three hours, and cold water.
