Kayaking & Coasteering
The ultimate coastal adventure: start by sea kayaking along Northumberland’s cliffs and coves, then add a coasteering section with swims, scrambles and optional jumps — guided throughout.
The ultimate coastal combo in Northumberland
This session combines two of the best ways to experience the coastline in one trip. You start by sea kayaking along cliffs, rocky channels and coves, then finish with a coasteering section that adds swims, scrambles and optional jumps.
It is ideal for adventurous families, confident beginners and anyone who wants more variety than a single-activity session. If you want coasteering only, compare Classic Coasteering – Howick or Big Coasteering.
Not sure if this is the right trip?
This is the “best of both worlds” session — coastline travel by kayak, then a coasteering hit to finish. For kayaking only, browse all kayaking options. For coasteering only, compare our dedicated coasteering sessions.

Why choose Kayaking & Coasteering?
If you cannot decide between kayaking and coasteering, this trip gives you both. You get the travel and scenery of a sea kayak journey, then the excitement and playfulness of coasteering to finish.
It is one of the best ways to experience the Northumberland coast as an active journey rather than a single-location session. The combination makes it especially good for adventurous families, mixed groups and anyone who wants a bigger-feeling day on the water.
