Tenby: Family Coasteering Adventure｜United Kingdom

Coasteering is a unique opportunity to explore rarely visited corners of the coast with one of our expert guides. Coasteering is an adaptable activity that can be pretty adventurous or really quite mellow. Experience a combination of wild-swimming and rock-scrambling, exploring nooks and crannies, caves and pools, playing around with swell, and jumping (if you want!) into deep water. You might encounter seals, munch on seaweed and learn about sponges, crabs and birdlife.

This activity is suitable for anyone from 8 years old, as long as they can swim and do some light scrambling. You don't need to be a dolphin, being able to confidently swim 25m is generally sufficient. A reasonable level of fitness and mobility, and being happy messing about in the sea are handy.

Our coasteering routes are amazing – some of the best in the world, featuring jumps (completely optional, but epic!), swim-throughs, spectacular caves, swirly play spots and tucked-away secrets of the coast. Jumping is often seen as a main part of coasteering, but it's just one aspect, and participants can choose not to jump at all. Leaping from a safe rocky platform into clear, blue water is gently encouraged.

Expert guides lead this adventure. They are exceptionally experienced, equipped with the latest safety gear and trained to the highest levels. They have led thousands of coasteers and undergo extensive training. Guides carry all safety kit recommended by the National Coasteering Charter and lead guides are also equipped with satellite locator beacons. The focus on safety is paramount, with an impressive safety record of taking over 30,000 people coasteering safely.

Participants are provided with specialist coasteering wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets. They need to bring their own footwear (trainers are perfect, beach shoes are ok if they’re secure and have decent soles). Additionally, participants should bring a pair of shorts to wear over the wetsuit for padding and wetsuit protection. Participants should also bring a towel, and a changing robe is useful as changing facilities are not always available.

Half-day sessions typically involve being in the water for between 2 and 2.5 hours. Rain does not affect the activity, but strong winds or large swells might lead to route changes or postponements. If a session is rescheduled or cancelled and the participant cannot attend, a full refund is provided.
