What is Coasteering?

Coasteering is a journey in the inter-tidal zone, where you will immerse yourself in the changing marine environment as we explore rocky inlets and caves, and learn to jump from height safely with our professional guides.

It's a fun and exhilarating adventure which offers a unique perspective of our rugged coastline; Portknockie is a world-class venue for this activity! Encounters with a diverse and interesting range of bird and sealife are possible, from razorbills & gannets to dolphins & seals.

We have carefully designed our routes to cater for all, from beginner adventures to seasoned thrill-seekers. All challenges are optional, but fun and adventure are guaranteed!

What to expect?

You'll check in at Portknockie Harbour to meet your guide and get kitted out with all the gear you'll need. We'll cover some important safety info and technique in our introduction, before we head over the hill to our start point and get in the water. Time for adventure! We'll travel along our route towards Bow Fiddle Rock, swimming, climbing and jumping in as we explore the changing environment. The experience will last 2 hours from start to finish.
