Coasteering Tailored To Students

Negotiating Newquay’s Gazzle (Cornish word for ‘armpit’ – the school lessons start now!) route with our highly qualified coasteering leaders, your pupils will be guided through caves, rapids and sluices that all provide delicate and unusual ecosystems. Local wildlife is abundant along this route. Pupils will witness a variety of species including inquisitive grey seals, rare kittiwake gulls and, if the timing is right, even bottlenose dolphins!

Bespoke Lessons For Your Curriculum

All of our school trips activities can be geared to feature current curriculum topics and learning goals. From science, maths, English language and literature, to personal development, social skills, self-confidence, motivational skills and physical development. Speak to our team about how we can arrange outdoor learning for your school group upon booking.
Each child needs to bring a completed medical declaration and consent form. Please note: those without will be unable to attend.

Industry-leading Instructors

Under the guidance and tuition of some of the most qualified and experienced instructors in the country, adventures with Newquay Activity Centre are all about practical learning and exploring our coastlines up close. With us, students are helpfully encouraged to push their boundaries whilst staying safe in a supportive environment.

Your pupils couldn’t be in more experienced or safer hands when coasteering in Newquay.

Ocean-related Topics

During our School Eco Coasteers, our local and knowledgeable instructors will cover a whole host of interesting topics that surround coastal living. We understand that these kinds of experiences at a young age can have a profound effect on future interests. For this reason, it’s so important to us that our Eco Coasteers are engaging, informative, adventurous and fun.

Let’s spark the minds of the future together! The typical topics we will cover are:

  • Animals in their natural environment
  • Fascinating local history
  • Solar energy
  • Skeletons of different creatures
  • The local community and its heritage
  • Marine conservation
  • Cornish smuggling history
  • Amazing coastal geology
  • Careers in the outdoors

We are the original Newquay Coasteering centre. Since launching our first route in 1999, we have pioneered the sport along this coastline, literally discovering and naming the famous “Adventure Gully.”
