WHY COOSE HERITAGE COASTEERING?

Towan Head in Newquay is a 2km coastal stretch steeped in fascinating history. This coasteering adventure takes you through our history steeped surroundings. Its crags hold tales of dramatic shipwrecks, tea-plundering pirates, superstitious rituals and monster wave surfing. Walk in the footsteps of smugglers whilst exploring the natural caves, craggy cliff edges, historic sluices and deep plunge pools with our expert instructors.

Every exciting element of our adrenaline-fuelled coasteers will be explored along Towan Head’s cove, known as the Gazzle. We will also venture through different sheltered routes, with the enriching tales of myth, legend and truth to underpin your experience.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

You’ll get kitted out in a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet in our on-site heated changing rooms before negotiating a route recommended by one of the most highly qualified coasteering leaders in Cornwall. Perfect for all ages and abilities, you will explore these cultural and historical landmarks along the town’s cliffs through whirlpools, ride rapids and coastal sluice currents. There are beautiful coves to climb and you may even spot a seal or two! You can leap into deep water plunge pools, tackle rock traverses, swim through fast-running gullies and attempt cliff jumps of varying intensities.

OUR EXPERTISE

We are the longest running Newquay Coasteering centre. We launched our first coasteer in 1999, and pioneered a number of the routes along Newquay’s coastime, even naming Adventure Gully.

We have since diversified to offer unique coasteering hybrids such as Super SUP Coasteering, Kayak coasteering, Cornish Castaway, and Heritage coasteering. With over 200,000 guests passing through the centre, more than any other coasteer company in the UK, our experience has been gained organically and reflects in our endless positive reviews.

We have shaped coasteering in the UK through the development of coasteer guide training courses, training many of the coasteer guides in the local and national industry through our 3 months instructor course. We are registered members of the National Coasteering Charter and our coasteer leads are signed off to work by John Paul Eatock, the National Coasteering Charter Regional Rept. John is widely recognised as the foremost coasteer expert in the country. 

Ongoing in house training maintains the highest standards of safety and knowledge sharing to ensure that we maintain our excellent safety record.
