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.

Went coasteering near Polzeath with Era Adventures. Really good route, great instructors Stuart & Paul. Very safety conscious and good with teenagers.

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!
