A summary
What is coasteering? Coasteering is a unique, family-friendly activity on the Dorset coastline scaling rocky outcrops and jumping into the sea below. Coasteering is one of the best outdoor activities in Dorset and a unique way to explore the Jurassic Coast. Join our experienced instructors for action-packed session scrambling over rocks, exploring sea caves, sea swimming and jumping into the water below. This fun-filled sea and cliff-based adventure activity is suitable for all children aged 8 and over and is tailored to the needs and ability of your group. It’s the perfect choice for intrepid families holidaying in Dorset, a great option for birthdays or just for a great day out. The Jurassic Coast All of our coasteering sessions take place at Dancing Ledge, a scenic location on the world-famous Jurassic Coast. Meet us at our base, before kitting up and making the scenic 15-minute walk to our starting location for a memorable day out. Once we reach our cliff side location, the instructors will give a thorough safety briefing and explain how to enter and exit the water. You’ll then follow a pre-established route along the cliff face, where you’ll have the chance to do some low level climbing and cave exploration, before experiencing the thrill of jumping from ledges into the sea. Along the way you’ll discover hidden coastal secrets and experience the beauty of the Dorset coast from a completely unique perspective.
