Coasteering in Cornwall

Beginner & Advanced Coasteer Sessions

£50 per person 3hrs Session  Includes all the kit

Coasteering is the best way to explore some of the most beautiful parts of the Cornish coastline safely. Swim in stunning lagoons, play in natural whirlpools and rapids, climb overhanging rock face sections and be rewarded at the top with adrenaline-fuelled jumps up to 30ft into deep blue water. This is cliff jumping at its finest - an experience that draws thrill-seekers from across Cornwall and beyond. Then it’s into the sea caves to complete this fully action-packed adrenaline experience... Based in Polzeath, North Cornwall, our sessions run year-round along some of the most spectacular stretches of the Cornish coastline.

You'll experience exhilarating rushes and highs of adrenaline coasteering in Cornwall. As a blend of rock and water activity, in your session, you'll learn some of the basics of scrambling and rock climbing plus the thrill of jumping safely into the lagoons below.

Coasteer with the Best of Cornwall in Confidence

Coasteer with the best in Cornwall! Here at Era Adventures, we are all experienced Lifeguards and Coasteer instructors and members of the British Coasteering Federation, so you can rest assured you're in safe and industry-approved hands. We offer a range of coastal routes to suit the conditions and the client’s ability. These routes have been accurately risk assessed to ensure a balance between exhilaration and safety. Join us to experience the natural beauty of this coastline from a unique perspective.

Coasteering is just as suited for thrill seekers as it is for novices. Our taster sessions are designed to suit your level of confidence. For a completely different taste of the Cornish Coast with approved coasteering specialists, book your session today with Era Adventures.

What to Expect on the Day

Beginner Sessions

Our introductory sessions for complete beginners are perfect for those who have never tried the thrill of coasteering before or who haven’t got super confident sea legs. You’ll still get to experience all of the thrills of scrambling, exploring and plenty of time in the sea but with a nice balance to meet your experience. No one will force you to take a big leap! The coasteering route for novices and first-timers is a little secluded section of the rugged coastline meaning it’s far less choppy than some of the other locations for more advance coasteers. These taster sessions are great for teenagers, families and people of all ages who want to try something a little different in Cornwall.

Advanced Sessions

If you’ve caught the bug already, and have a bit of coasteering experience under your belt, our advanced sessions are guaranteed to bring you all the thrills you’d expect whilst putting your experience and skills to the ultimate test. Unlike our beginners sessions, you’ll be taken to some of our more challenging stretches of coastline we play off of. Prepare for serious swell, some gigantium leaps and awesome scrambling and caving adventures. Definitely not for the faint-hearted!

We'll provide the kit

You don’t need to worry about having the latest kit for your coasteering session, though if you do have your own and you wish to bring it along you are more than welcome. Here at Era Adventures, we provide all the equipment you need to get cracking on one of our courses. You’ll have safety-checked helmets, buoyancy aids, wetsuits and boots all available for you to use on the day.

Gaining your Coasteering Award

For those of you who’ve caught the bug, have been undertaking advanced sessions for a while, and are considering taking it to the next level. Here at Era Adventures, we offer a 2 day coasteer award accredited by SLSGB (surf lifesaving GB). You’ll have your levels of fitness put through their paces and be assessed on your life-saver abilities in a variety of situations you might experience as a coasteering instructor.

Book Now

Got you geared up? That’s no surprise! Booking on to one of our courses is nice and easy, you can call us direct 01208 862 963 or complete our booking form on the website and we’ll be back in touch asap!

Frequently Asked Questions

How safe is coasteering?

Coasteering with Era Adventures is as safe as it gets. All of our instructors are fully qualified with years of experience. All our routes are risk-assessed too to ensure your safety in the delivery of one of our sessions.

Are your instructors qualified?

Yes, all our instructors are qualified first aiders and have their SSLGB certified coaster awards meaning they are fully qualified to take you out on your session.

How fit and able do I have to be? Are there any age limits?

We advise that anyone over the age of ten, with general good health, should be perfectly able-bodied for a coasteering session.

What kind of swimming ability will I need?

To be safe, we would advise that you shouldn’t undertake a coasteering session unless you can swim two lengths of a normal 25-metre pool competently.

What should I bring with me on the day?

There’s no need to worry about bringing any kit with you, as we can provide all you need to get coasteering from our site.

What if heights give me the heebie-jeebies?

There is no need to worry if heights make you a bit skittish. Whilst there are jumps on the coasteering courses and routes we go on, there is absolutely no obligation to jump. You can get your kicks from scrambling, caving and enjoying the coastal inlets without having to go above a height you are comfortable with!

Will the session get cancelled in bad weather?

Rough weather will rarely interfere with your session. If it is going to rain, it doesn’t make a huge amount of difference, as you’ll be soaking by the end of it anyway. Wetsuits will keep you nice and warm too when the water is colder. Plus, we have a range of spots where we coaster, so on particularly choppy days, we can find an alternative which is nicely sheltered from the elements at their most.

We spent a week with Era coasteering, surfing, and mountain biking. Highly recommend the company! The instructors were all really helpful, fun, and friendly. We had a great time and will definitely book in with them again next time we're around Polzeath.

A hugely enjoyable morning Coast-steering in Port Gaverne. Exhilarating, fun, taxing and safe. Well led by the chaps who were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Five stars! Great guys and great activities. Would highly recommend! Perfect way to experience Cornwall and the Polzeath area in particular.

Fantastic morning out. Climbing, cave swimming and jumping off rock faces up to 10 metres high. It was exhilarating and frightening at the same time but Occy and Ioan made it fun and not so daunting and were outstanding instructors. Definitely go to Era Adventure for coasteering.

Forever memories made. The best thing we have done as a family this year. Out of the comfort zone, while in safe hands. Just the right balance of safety and coaching. Ok so some of Paul’s jokes made us want to jump in the water to escape…lol.

The customer service and contact was excellent. Clear instructions and a well thought out route. I doubted if my step child would complete the tour, however they never felt pressured which brought out the best in them both (13 yr boy 17 yr girl).

Have to say what an amazing day and experience with the guys from ERA. Yesterday I took my little one and nephews coasteering and my son has not stopped talking about it since, all the guys were amazing and just made the experience amazing, despite me being nervous, they were highly experienced, reassuring and funny which made everyone feel at ease !

All the team at Era Adventures were brilliant throughout our coasteering experience. As someone who was really regretting my choice of adrenaline seeking - I have to say it was one of the best things I’ve ever done, thanks to the team...

My daughter and I had a coasteering session today, alongside another family of four. The two instructors kept us all very well informed, safe and were extremely encouraging throughout a very enjoyable (if hair raising!) climb/jump/swim/belly flop around the stunning coastline. Highly recommended!
