“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.

Done this twice now, and both times have been great. Friendly guide, and although some of the jumps can be pretty nerve-wracking, the staff don't pressurise anyone into doing them.... read more Overall was great fun, and good value for money.

30/05/2026What a great experience this activity is. Matt greeted us at the car park, got into our wetsuits, life jacket & helmet and headed towards the rocks for the costeering. Matt &... read more Sienna, our guides, were so friendly, enthusiastic and really helpful to make our session memorable. We were a group of 8 and all all different ages. The scenery was amazing and our guides took us through gullies, little rock islands, swimming in the sea and of course jumping off cliffs into the sea. I personally missed quite a few of the jumps as I was quite nervous and not as confident as the others in our group but my son and husband loved it and did a lot of the jumps more than once. I totally recommend costeering, it was a wonderful experience and I think I would be more confident in the jumps if I did it again. If you are on holiday in Cornwall this is a must do activity! Thankyou to Matt & Sienna, you’re brilliant guides and so brave x

26/05/2026First time coasteering and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Matt. He was super chill, calm, and encouraging the entire time, which made such a difference.... read more He made sure we felt comfortable and kept the pace manageable. My partner and I definitely aren’t the fittest people out there, but we still managed to complete the whole experience without feeling completely wiped out. It was such a fun adrenaline rush and a brilliant intro to cliff jumping. We were lucky enough to get a private coasteering session on a super amazing summer day with not a single cloud in the sky. The whole experience was adventurous and action-packed, but also surprisingly calm at times — getting to explore and see the true Cornish coastline from the water was absolutely beautiful. Would 100% recommend these guys if you’re up for an adventure and want to try something exciting for the first time.

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!
