Get ready for the excitement and beauty of coasteering at Hele Bay with a private adventure designed for groups of six or more. Tailor-made to suit your group's preferences, this exciting activity explores the stunning old smugglers' cove in Ilfracombe, offering an unforgettable adrenaline-fuelled adventure. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or seeking a unique experience with friends, this adventure promises exhilarating jumps, challenging scrambles, and amazing views.
Once you book a session, our team will contact you to discuss your group's fitness levels and adrenaline preferences. We'll suggest the best route and tide time to ensure an optimal adventure. Your booking will be confirmed after this discussion.
During the session, you'll explore the rugged beauty of Hele Bay, experiencing the thrill of jumps up to 10 metres, challenging scrambles, and powerful gully crossings. The proximity to the Bristol Channel, with its significant tidal range, adds an extra layer of excitement, making each session unique and dynamic. Despite the challenging nature of this route, the stunning views of Ilfracombe Harbour, Hele Bay, and on clear days, the Pembroke coast of Wales, provide a rewarding backdrop.
Adventure by choice is our ethos—you're never pressured to take on any activity you're uncomfortable with. However, if you're ready for the challenge, our experienced guides are there to support you every step of the way.
