Description
Family Coasteering is suited to families with younger children between 8 and 12 years old. At least 1 adult must accompany all children.
An exhilarating and adrenaline packed day, coasteering combines the best of rock and water based activities.
Geared towards families and children as young as 8. Our other sessions have children 12 upwards on them. You still go to the same places and do the same things, but possibly at a slower speed.
Make your way around the sea cliffs, jumping into the water, scrambling about on the rocks, swimming across zawns (gaps in the cliff), exploring sea caves, getting swirled about in waves. Coasteering is often the highlight of peoples holidays to North Wales and shouldn’t be missed.
Outdoor activities are weather dependent. For safety reasons, we may have to reschedule the activity or arrange an alternative venue. When this is necessary we will contact you on the contact number provided.
It is possible for under 16's to take part in an activity without an adult taking part, however there must be a responsible adult in the area for the duration of the session.

What to bring
THE KIT YOU NEED:
We will provide you with a winter wetsuit to keep you warm, a buoyancy aid and helmet.
You would need to bring:
- Shoes. These will obviously get wet. They need to be stiff soled and you need to be able to swim in them without them coming off! Stiff soles are really important as the sea cliffs are knobbly and you don’t want to feel all the knobbles through the sole of your shoe, so it needs to be robust. Jelly shoes, pumps, wetsuit boots and other floppy shoes are not suitable at all. Astroturf shoes are really slippery on wet rock so avoid them too. Your best bet is a good robust trainer shoe.
- Long socks, the wetsuits will come down to your ankles, and there will usually be a gap between your shoe and the wetsuit, leaving ankles exposed. So you need to wear a long pair of socks to cover this area.
- Baggy shorts to cover the wetsuit. You might look a bit like superman but when people move about with their bum on the rough rocks, our wetsuits get trashed, so we cover this area with shorts to save the kit. So don’t wear your very best ones.We have some if you're stuck.
- Swimsuit. Wetsuits are worn next to skin, and definitely work best like this. You should only wear your swimming costume underneath, be it trunks, bikini or swimming costume. (Baggy shorts under a wetsuit aren’t ideal)
- Towel. If we go local, you’ll need this once you’ve showered. If we travel in the car you’ll need a towel to get changed at the end. For outdoor changing bigger towels are better to cover up with.
- Spare clothes for afterwards (if you arrive in swimming costumes, underwear etc).
- Sun cream and any medication you would usually carry.
