If you’re looking for a more exclusive coasteering experience, the Gold Select Private Coasteer is designed to deliver just that. With one-to-one guidance or a very small group set-up, this session is all about maximising adventure and tailoring the route to your preferences. Expect more jumps, deeper caves, longer traverses and hidden sections as your instructor takes you through a personalised ocean adventure in Cornwall.
Your adventure begins at the state-of-the-art centre near Towan Beach, where you’ll be equipped with premium wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets. After a full briefing and safety checks, it’s just a short walk to Newquay harbour’s slipway, where the water awaits. From here you’ll descend into the ocean, leaving the harbour walls behind as you swim out towards the Gazzle peninsula.
With your instructor’s support, the focus is firmly on doing more. That means more jumps, deeper cave exploration, extended traverses and plenty of time to explore secret sections of the coastline that are rarely accessed. Routes are adjusted to suit your confidence and ability, creating a unique experience that blends adrenaline, exploration and skill development.
The Gold Select session makes the most of the intertidal zone around Newquay. Expect surging rapids, plunge pools and rock ledges perfect for leaps into the water. With extra time and dedicated guidance, this private coasteer offers the chance to truly push your limits in a controlled environment while also enjoying the wildlife and heritage of the Cornish coast.
This private session is based along the Newquay coastline, beginning at the harbour slipway and extending out towards the Gazzle peninsula. The location is renowned for its mix of caves, natural ledges, inlets and dramatic rock formations, offering the perfect playground for advanced coasteering routes.
The area also provides a different perspective on Newquay, with its combination of working harbour, historic features and sweeping ocean views. It’s one of Cornwall’s most versatile coasteering locations, making it ideal for a customised private adventure.
Participants should be water confident, though strong swimming ability is not required as buoyancy aids are provided. The pace and level of challenge are fully tailored, so whether you’re keen to push your boundaries or take things steadily, the session is adapted to suit.
Children from age 3 can take part when accompanied by a parent or guardian, making this suitable for families as well as individuals or pairs seeking a more adventurous outing.
The centre has been leading coasteering in Newquay since 1999, pioneering routes and even naming features such as Adventure Gully. With over 200,000 guests and the longest-running record in the area, the team has shaped coasteering in the UK and continues to raise standards.
Instructors are trained to the highest level, with many local and national coasteer guides having been taught through the centre’s own training programmes. As members of the National Coasteering Charter, with ongoing in-house training and risk assessment, the centre maintains an outstanding safety record while delivering high-quality, memorable experiences.
