Private Coasteering from Mousehole, Cornwall

The guide is yours. The route and the pace follow your group, which helps families with younger children and people who want more or fewer jumps. The minimum age drops to six.

The kit, the photos and the three-hour shape are the same. If you are happy joining other bookers and everyone is 10 or over, the open group is the cheaper option.

From two people up to 16. Tell us the headcount and ages when you book so we can put the right number of guides on the rocks.

The booking starts at two because a private session is priced from that minimum. A solo booker should use the open group instead.

Six. We check ages before the session. Under-18s can join without a parent in the water if a consent form is signed, though most families come together.

The route stays with the youngest or least confident person. That is how a mixed family still shares one booking.

No. Every jump is optional. Ledges usually have a low, mid and higher choice, and you can swim around anything you do not want to do.

The guide talks through each feature first. A private booking makes it easier to skip a lot of jumping without holding up an open group.

Lace-up trainers or thick-soled wetsuit boots. Flip-flops, sandals and thin beach shoes are not accepted. Without proper shoes we cannot take you, and we cannot refund that.

Old trainers you do not mind getting wet are the simplest option. If you are unsure whether your shoes will pass, bring an old pair of lace-up trainers as well.

South Quay Car Park, The Wharf, Mousehole, TR19 6RT. Kit up there, then walk to the start. Toilets and cafes sit in the village.

If the harbour coast is not safe we send a new meeting point. Check your messages the day before.

You need to be a confident swimmer in open water. A buoyancy aid is on the whole time, but you still swim between features.

If someone in the group is nervous, say so when you book. We will keep that person on easier ground and shorter swims.

Rain does not cancel a session. We move or cancel when the swell or wind makes the coast unsafe. A nearby route is the first option.

If we cancel, we rearrange. Message us the day before if you are travelling a long way. If you are driving a long way, check your messages the evening before so you are not on the road before we have confirmed the plan.

No. Glasses and jewellery stay off. Contact lenses or prescription goggles are fine. Leave valuables in the car.

The guide can hold medication in a dry bag if you need it on the route. If you need to see clearly, contact lenses or prescription goggles are the workable options.

Yes. The guide carries a waterproof camera and shares the pictures with your group afterwards. You do not need a phone on the rocks.

We cannot promise a shot of every jump. The priority is the route and the people in it. Ask the guide at the end how the pictures will be sent, as that can change with the size of the group.
