If you love the sea and don\u2019t have a fear of heights then this could be just the thing for your next holiday! Basically the idea is to make progress along the coastline using whatever method is deemed necessary. The main techniques are by rock climbing, swimming, some particularly challenging scrambling techniques and of course, jumping safely from great heights into the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Not your typical trip to the seaside, there\u2019ll be no need for a bucket and spade or even your speedos! Instead some sturdy footwear, a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmets are the order of the day.<\/p>\n<p>So where and how? Coasteering is run by companies who take out groups, usually in areas which are very well known to them so that whilst experiencing the highs and exhilaration of the sport they can keep everyone safe. There are a number of companies along the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vwcamperhire.com\/vw\/cornwall-vw-campervan-hire.php\" target=\"_blank\">Cornwall <\/a>and Devon coasts who are now offering group trips form locations including: Newquay, St Ives, Penzance, Bude, Ilfracombe, Croyde and many others.<\/p>\n<p>What better way to sampled an adrenalin filled trip perhaps sampling a handful of these locations than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vwcamperhire.com\/vw\/our-vw-campervans.php\" target=\"_blank\">hiring a VW campervan<\/a>?

Lands\u2019 End is the most testing coasteering that they offer, and due to the location is affected by the conditions of the Atlantic on the day, so a bit of flexibility may be required if things are just too rough and they have to postpone. If the thought of Lands\u2019 End isn\u2019t enough for the you the team at Kernow Coasteering have some special places all-round the coast from St Ives to the most Westerly tip. As the perfect \u201call weather\u201d activity for your trip, you\u2019re going to get wet anyway! Why not get a group together and enjoy a really memorable experience together. They have a relaxed approach to your trip and people are only tested within their own limits, being able to choose how actively they participate.
