“Absolutely brilliant afternoon coasteering with Matt and his team. We felt well-guided and supported the whole time – encouraged to do the big jumps, but always a way round if it was time to skip one!
Absolutely loved it, and will be back… the best way to see Scilly! Thanks Matt.”Meriel R.Family Getaway
“First class start to finish. Matt was brilliant in accommodating our needs and organising a climbing session for us near Porthleven, I can’t recommend Kernow Coasteering enough. The session with our guide Tom, was fantastic. My son and I had done a little bit of climbing before, but not enough to go on our own. Tom was knowledgeable, encouraging and just great to chat and spend time with. He chose some challenging routes for us, but nothing that meant we never got to the top. In the words of my son, ‘Tom is a top man, loved the climbing’. We will be back!“

Adventure Stories from Our Customers
Brilliant coasteering experience; we’ve never done it before but it’s hard to see how it can be any better than this! Amazing coastline with big rocks, gulleys, channels, wave pools, ledges and a whole 3hrs of constant activity.
Tim L.Recent GuestThis is the craziest adventure you can have in Cornwall – our family had an amazing time coasteering: jumping off rocks, learning how to let the waves wash your body up the rocks and then scrambling out. Also an incredibly beautiful location. Recommend it if you’re up for it!
Sophie H.Thrill SeekerWe really enjoyed coasteering at Land‘s End. It was really adventurous and the friendly guides let us have a lot of fun and were also experienced, so we always felt safe! It is our favourite activity in England!
aeffli2021Sea Cave SeekerBeen Coasteering several times before but all agreed this was one of the best. Variety of jumps, swimming, climbing and other interest. The four team members were enthusiastic and encouraging. Would highly recommend.

03/11/2025I am so happy that I saw the coasteering group finishing up a session at Praa sands on Wednesday, I approached Matt on the beach and asked what the group... read more had been doing, he explained about the coasteering and said they were running another session the next morning. I booked a space for my 14 yr old son and his friend who was staying with us. The morning came and it was raining and miserable out, the boys enthusiasm to be up early and out in the rain was 0, however I got them there and off they went. Well they both came back incredibly happy. My son’s words “The man that runs the group must have some kind of magic powers, as he got me to do jumps that I never would have done, I am so happy that I went and achieved that”. He hasn’t stopped speaking about it since and about the seal that they saw during the excursion. Thanks so much Matt, we will definitely be back!

Matt and his two instructors manage to strike the perfect balance between adventure and safety — you always feel like you’re in expert hands, even in challenging conditions. This is one of the few activities in Cornwall that’s genuinely great value for money and delivers a proper sense of excitement and achievement. If you want something that’s adventurous, safe, and run by people who truly know what they’re doing, Kernow Coasteering is the real deal.

15/08/2025Highly recommended! Have done the Praa Sands and Lands End trip with Matt and his team - amazing experience every time. Lands End (yesterday) takes you to some extraordinary and... read more inspiring places - swim in and out of a sea cave, follow a tunnel *under* Lands End and swim through huge sea arches, with huge cliffs looming above you. And some exciting and exhilerating swims, jumps and scrambles. Massive fun. Your kids will love it!

14/08/2025Another year and another Kernow coasteering adventure. This time we took on the LandsEnd advanced experience. It’s not for the faint hearted and requires a level of ability as it... read more involves a lot of swimming through choppy waters and some scrambling up the rocks to progress but the pass off is worth it. We were privileged to experience Landsend from this unique vantage point. Swimming though sea arches, jumping epic cliffs, entering squally caves. The highlight for me was passing the aptly named “ghost train”, a single file almost pitch black tunnel being buffeted by the waves. Matt and the rest of the Kernow crew made the experience unique and allowed the participants to set their own limits but ensured safety throughout. This event only happens a handful of times in the season and if you mastered the basic coasteering experience this is the next step. And what a next step! A truly unique and breathtaking experience. My advice: grasp every opportunity whilst out there, you may ache the next day but it is 100percent worth it. A memory our family will remember. Matt and the Kernow crew: I hope our paths cross again soon. Thanks 🙏

No pressure, calm instructions that gave us the confidence to get out of our comfortzone without feeling unsafe. We jumped, swam, climbed and learned about the area and sealife.

Even during the booking process Matt helped us our and made sure we could join the beginner group that would be best suitable for our family. Would strongly recommend.

It was my 12 year old son’s first time this year, Matt and the girls made him feel at ease straight away, giving him the opportunity for smaller jumps compared to the rest of the group, but he managed all the same jumps as everyone else.
Matt, Lee and the girls are so friendly and knowledgeable, making you feel safe in the water and the whole 2-3 hours in the sea so fun and enjoyable. The wetsuits are all of good quality and keep you really warm I couldn’t recommend an excursion with Kernow coasteering enough, another fantastic experience, see you again next year Matt 👍🏻KarenS8944
