## FAQs

### Do I need to know how to swim to go coasteering?

Because you’ll be covered from head to toe in neoprene and have a high-quality buoyancy aid, you’ll float really well. The Salcombe coastline is sheltered and there is less swimming involved than some of our other experiences. Please see our other activities at the bottom of this page to book a more intensive coasteering session, such as our Gara Rock Experience, which involves a bit more swimming.

### What shoes should I wear coasteering?

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.

### What if the weather is too bad on the day?

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.

### Do I have to do any of the jumps?

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 a challenge by choice, as we like to say, and jumping is always optional.

### Can I wear my own wetsuit?

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

### How physical is the Salcombe Coasteering Experience?

From North Sands, there is a 5-minute hike up and over the hill to South Sands before we start coasteering. Once coasteering, there are lots of places to get out of the water and walk if swimming becomes too tiring. If you have had any recent operations or have struggled with health problems recently, we’d recommend consulting a doctor before coasteering.

### Can I bring a GoPro?

Yes, be all means. However, we 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.

### What is Coasteering?

Coasteering presents an adrenaline-fuelled coastal challenge. Simply put, it involves traversing rocks, leaping from cliffs and ledges, wild swimming through swell and channels, and much more as you explore the coastline.
