Leap straight into action with our wet and wild coasteering family activity holidays – the ideal adventure for your family or friends in Newquay, Cornwall. Join us and see a side to our beautiful craggy cliffs you may never have known existed.
Why Choose Our Family Coasteering Adventure?
Coasteering in Cornwall is the perfect family activity for getting kids active outdoors and learning about our coastlines. Push boundaries in a supportive environment under the expert guidance of our professional instructors, whilst exploring our risk assessed and child-friendly coasteering routes. Your family or group can choose the intensity of the experience at a pace that suits you – that’s the beauty of a private group!
You’ll get kitted out in a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet in our on-site, heated changing rooms with storage and lockers for all your belongings. You will then head down to the beach to negotiate a route recommended by one of the most highly qualified coasteering leaders in Cornwall. For family activity holidays in Newquay, our low tide coasteering route is highly popular as you can access every aspect of the coastline including the historic smugglers caves!
Are You Looking For Something Different That A Family Of All Ages Can Enjoy?
Our Family Coasteering offers a private group experience and we welcome children from the age of 3 years and onwards. All children under the age of 8 need a parent or guardian to be present throughout their activity. If the parent isn’t a paying member of the group the child can still participate. However the adult needs to be waiting on the water’s edge and be contactable by the trip leader by mobile phone. Our Family Coasteers are memorable, exhilarating, safe and fun for children of all ages.
Something For Everyone
With your own instructors, our Family or Private Group Coasteers can be tailored to the group’s abilities, focusing on particular aspects of our coastline’s exhilarating environment. Whether it’s adrenaline fuelled jumps and rapid riding you’re after, or an eco-focussed approach with caves and rock pools; we have the perfect coasteer for you. For younger children we can also embed coastal safety messages to up-skill the youngsters in ocean safety.
However you choose to adventure with us during your family activity holiday, you’re sure to experience an incredible outdoor environment with guaranteed safety and exhilarating fun.
