Coasteering, kayaking, climbing and coastal adventure in North Cornwall

Coastal adventure across North Cornwall
Cornish Rock Tors is a North Cornwall outdoor activity provider specialising in coasteering - the sport of scrambling, climbing and jumping along the rocky coastline before swimming back to shore - alongside a wider range of land and water-based activities. Sessions mostly launch from the golden sands of Polzeath Beach, with the dramatic cliffs, caves and gullies around Port Quin and Port Gaverne providing some of the most scenic coasteering terrain in Cornwall.
Beyond coasteering, the team runs sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding sessions exploring the coves and caves of the North Cornwall coast, guided rock climbing on natural sea cliffs, and organised wild swimming sessions for those who want the coastal experience without the scrambling. On land, archery and axe-throwing sessions round out the activity list, making Cornish Rock Tors a popular choice for family days out, stag and hen groups, and team-building days alike.
Cornish Rock Tors is licensed under the Adventure Activities Licensing Scheme (AALS) and is a member of the National Coasteering Charter, the industry body that sets safety standards for coasteering providers across the UK - important reassurance for an activity that takes place directly on exposed rock and in open water.
Prices
Intermediate coasteering sessions typically start from around £50 per person. Kayaking, paddleboarding, climbing, wild swimming, archery and axe-throwing are all priced separately, with multi-activity and group packages also available - see the official website for full details.
Did you know?
Coasteering was pioneered on the Pembrokeshire coast in the 1980s but has since become closely associated with North Cornwall, where the combination of sheltered coves, deep gullies and Atlantic swell make for some of the country's best coasteering terrain.
