School Activity Trips: Coasteering

Our school activity trips for Coasteering are available Manorbier in Pembrokeshire and from our North Wales locations. 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 pupils are not so physically fit, they can be equipped to allow them to participate at their own level. If any pupil 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.

School Activity Trips: Coasteering

In many ways coasteering is an ultimate all-round fitness activity to build strength, develop co-ordination and team work. Pupils 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
