Coasteering Wales

Scramble your way across the famous Welsh coastline, discover cave systems, jump off cliffs and swim with the swells. That’s coasteering in a nut-shell! It’s basically just having a blast exploring the shoreline of Gower near Swansea, Pembrokeshire or Anglesey in north Wales.

We love adventure travel and the smiles it puts on everyone’s faces. We get a real buzz from putting together the highlights and sharing them with you after the trip.
Photos and video are typically included in the day tours and multi-night trips only, but we can on request try and include pictures in the coasteering activity only. It depends on our instructors.
How much will coasteering cost?
All our day tours and multi-night packages such as weekend breaks or a holiday are 100% tailor-made for you! So, we can create a Big Blue Adventure to suit specific budgets and what you would like to include for the perfect adventure. The more activities and package elements you include the more that package will cost. It also depends on your final numbers in the group, generally larger groups have a cheaper per person rate over smaller groups as there are more people to split the core package costs between. Best thing to do is request a quote – it costs you nothing to start the ball rolling and say hello, we can send a great package your way from there.
Payments
When you’re ready to book your adventure we simply start with a 30% non-refundable deposit to confirm it all. The final balance is typically required no later than 3 weeks before your activity date for day tours or 6 weeks for multi-night packages. Most customers pay by bank transfer, but we can also accept debit and credit card transaction upon request.
We can also make some changes between the deposit and the final balance payment. Such as amending a few dropouts / attendee increases, or making some package changes within reason. For further information please do see our terms and conditions.
What to bring
To take part in coasteering all you need is:
- A pair of old spare trainers – like a gym shoe / sneaker with sturdy sole and something you don’t mind getting wet and roughed up on the rocks
- Swimwear or spare underwear for under the wetsuit. Try and avoid boardies as anything baggy can be very uncomfortable under a wetsuit
- If you have a pair handy then old shorts to go over the wetsuits can be useful to help us protect the wetsuit. They can get ripped up though so only if you have an old pair!
- A towel
- Sun cream
- Water (please try and avoid throw away single use plastic!)
- Any medication you need to keep on you, such as an asthma pump
All the essential kit is included; wetsuits, helmets and buoyancy aids. On our package tours we also bring cosy poncho towel changing ponchos so you can use those instead of your bath towels.
Are meals & drinks included?
We can include lunch, a packed lunch or dinner after the coasteering with drinks. It all depends on what type of meal you want, how much budget you have for the meal and free time. We work with some amazing local pubs closer to the activity, or we can stop by restaurants and establishments with a Welsh brewery tour for example or gin tour. We can work on this to fit the itinerary and plans!
Group Size
Minimum numbers are 10 people due to the cost to run a day tour or multi-night adventure.

Why We Love This…
“Is there anything more thrilling and fun than jumping from high rocks into the big blue? I love a good adrenaline kick, and coasteering definitely gets your heart pumping. To feel alive and to truly enjoy life’s great adventures, is just awesome and something you will remember. Wales is spectacular for it’s wild coastline and probably one of the best places in the world to try out this outdoor activity!”
