We recommend that you are competent in the water with the ability to swim unadded in a pool or open water. Because you’ll be covered from head to toe in neoprene and have a high-quality buoyancy aid, you’ll float really well. If you dont feel confident with your swimming ability why not try Salcombe Coasteering first?

We highly recommend that you bring a pair of trainers/walking shoes and that they have laces and a good sole and they are not completely ruined already. Because of the nature of the environment, we’ll be traversing over uneven rocky ground which is sometimes slippery, a good pair of trainers or walking shoes will provide the best stability for these conditions. Neoprene rock shoes without laces or pull cords are not recommended.

We will always endeavour to give you as much warning as possible, days in advance if we think the weather is going to turn against us on the day. Should we have to cancel on the day due to bad weather, we can offer to either reschedule you for another day, offer a gift voucher, or provide a full refund.

In a nutshell, no! The big attraction of coasteering is definitely the jumping aspect, however, there is so much more to explore with coasteering than just the jumping. We don’t pressure anyone into doing anything they don’t want to, it’s all challenge by choice, as we like to say, and jumping is always optional.

The Start Point Coasteering journey covers 2.5km starting in Start Point car park and finishing in the same place. Roughly 1km is spent coasteering (jumping, swimming, scrambling, and rock hopping) The rest of the journey comprises mostly light up and down hill walking, with one section of steeper gradient towards the end.

Start Point is a privatly owned car park and is managed by a team of staff during the day. Only cash is accepted (£4) there is a portable toliet avalible during the day.

Yes, absolutely you can. However, it must be a long sleeve wetsuit and ideally 5mm, especially if its for a child.

Yes, be all means. However, Adventure South are not responsible for it at any point. We recommend a chest harness, and not jumping with it in your hand or attached to you.
