Outdoor Activities: Coasteering

Outdoor activities in Wales such as coasteering, is an excellent sport that is great for an adult/family event, and it also has great benefits for those looking for a team building exercise.

Adult/Family Activity:

Coasteering is a relatively new activity that has been developed by climbers who need to traverse the coastline to get to or from sea cliffs. Coasteering is a combination of climbing, jumping, swimming and scrambling. The great thing about coasteering is that, if you are not so physically fit, you can be equipped to allow yourself to participate at your own level. If anyone doesn’t like to jump in, then they don’t have to.

Coasteering has been described as “extreme rock pooling”, or “an aquatic nature-trail” I feel that these are very good descriptions. In a nutshell it is an all-in-one experience that treats the foreshore as an eco-adventure playground. It’s about rock-hopping, shore-scrambling, swell-riding, cave-exploring and, yes of course, cliff-jumping.

However it’s as much about discovering our wildlife and coastline at close-quarters, this is an intimacy that walkers never experience. It’s not uncommon to see seals swimming nearby attracted by the noise they come to see what’s going on. Sea birds can be seen nesting high on the cliffs above and diving for fish. Caves are there to be explored along with off shore islands.

In many ways coasteering is an ultimate all-round fitness activity to build strength, develop co-ordination and team work. You will scramble over rocks, swim into canyons, explore caves, bodysurf the breakers, peer into rockpools, learn about geology and leap off a cliff or two. Changing tides, waves and wildlife make every coasteering trip unique. Specialist gear is needed to enjoy Coasteering safely, all of which we supply

Team Building Activity:

Coasteering is amazing activity and always gets a team working together. Jumping off cliffs is less terrifying with encouragement and support from team members. Big open water swims are less of daunting when getting a team mate is shadowing you or giving you a toe, and scrambling along a cliff edge is made easier with someone guiding you where to place your hand or next foot placement. In particular coasteering develops communication, giving and receiving support, confidence outside of your comfort zone and encourages creative thinking to solve problems. All this, in a uniquely exciting environment.
