What to expect

Meet & kit up. We’ll get you into wetsuits, fit buoyancy aids and helmets, and run a clear briefing before heading to the coast.

A bigger route. Expect longer swims, more exposed traverses and bigger optional jumps than our Classic session — this is a more committing coastal journey.

Low water is essential. Key sections are only accessible on suitable low tide / low water windows. That’s why this session isn’t available every day.

Optional jumps. You’ll be offered bigger jump opportunities, but nothing is compulsory. Your guide will help you choose what’s right for you on the day.

Who it suits best. Confident teens and adults who are comfortable with heights and swimming in the sea. If you’re unsure, start with Classic Coasteering – Howick.

Everything included. Wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets and shuttles to and from the start point are included — so the day runs smoothly from arrival to warm-up.

This is the most adventurous coasteering experience we offer on the Northumberland coast.
