What Can I Expect

Launch yourself into coasteering in Dorset! There's no denying this famous Jurassic coastline is best explored on foot. And on this coastal adventure, you'll be scrambling and jumping into the nooks and crannies of this impressive coast.

Your meet up point is Spyway Barn, on the cliff tops near Swanage at the Isle of Purbeck. Your guides will explain the programme for the session and go through all the safety aspects, etiquette and techniques of coasteering.

You then head to Dancing Ledge. It's a great name for this expanse of flat rock, but we'll leave it to your guides to explain why it's called Dancing Ledge (it involves the way the waves move!). You will be swimming, scrambling up rocks and jumping off them into the surf, discovering sea coves and lots more. And all with superb Dorset views.

We have to say, this whole area is fascinating. It's a pretty wild coastline and if the rocks could talk, they'd tell you tales of smugglers, shipwrecks, battles and storms on these shores. And of course, stone was directly extracted from the cliffs towering above the sea around these parts. It is these former quarries that have left a fabulous coastal playground to explore.

These Coasteering experiences in Dorset are led by Kelvin, Jordan, Chris and their experienced team of guides. All the equipment you need is included and the guides will be with you every step of the way to encourage you to take those leaps of faith. It's great fun and a whole new way to discover the stunning Dorset coast near Swanage.
