North Wales Coasteering - Porth Dafarch, Anglesey
Our Coasteering in North Wales is great for individuals, families and groups. You will have been given directions to the Coasteering site during the booking process. There are a few Coasteering sites along the North Wales coast but we use the best one "Porth Dafarch" Its located near Treaddur bay just further along the coast at a small beautiful beach with a toilet block.
We very rarely, but it does happen use a couple of other venues but this is only done when the swell of the sea is bigger than our Maximum safety height. The office will keep in touch if the weather looks changeable.
Porth Dafarch is a sheltered cove on Anglesey with cliffs, rocky ledges and deep water, making it a perfect spot for coasteering. Here you’ll scramble over rocks, jump into the sea and explore sea caves under the guidance of our experienced instructors, with routes tailored to the group and conditions. Jumps range from sea level to about 30ft but these are all optional.
Coasteering takes place in a fragile coastal environment, so we stick to established access points, avoid disturbing nesting birds and marine life, and always follow local guidelines to help protect this special coastline for the future.” As a company we attend yearly environmental training to use best practise.
As a company we have the right risk assessments, insurance and qualified and experienced Instructors to work in this enviroment. Please ask to see our paperwork.
