After kitting up in a wetsuit, life jacket and crash helmet, an experienced guide will take you on the journey of your life along the rocky rugged shoreline. It might mean climbing in and out of hidden sea caves, swimming. This really is the way to access all those interesting nooks and coves that walkers and beach bathers just cannot reach.

Itinerary & Highlights

Your experience will start at the pebble cove where you will meet your group and guides. You will then be given a safety briefing and issued with your kit which includes wetsuit, buoyancy aid, and helmet before heading out with your experienced instructor. The next several hours will be full of adrenalin as you explore the stunning coastline using whatever means possible - climbing, scrambling, swimming and jumping. After lunch at Limanagzi corner of the Bayindir Bay, you can visit the necropolis (graveyard) ruins of ancient the Lycian settlement of the Sebeda and a sinkhole where the old monk’s chapel remains from Byzantium times. You can snorkel & swim, or just laze on the beach. The tour will finish back at the Kaş harbour via boat.

Coasteering is a physical activity that encompasses movement along the inter tidal zone of a rocky coastline on foot or by swimming, without the aid of boats, surf boards or other craft. It is difficult to define the precise boundaries between, for example, rock pooling and ocean swimming. Coasteering may include all or some of the following:

· Swimming or Adventure Swimming: in calm water; rough or white water; and/ or coast-line currents. Dressing for swimming in the sea (wetsuits, buoyancy aids etc) is an integral part of Coasteering]; even on routes where it is possible to stay dry. A route, or activity, where the group start out with the intention of staying dry - whether through route choice or the use of ropes and harnesses - is not coasteering.

· Climbing, scrambling, bouldering, sea level traversing: the very nature of the coastline that is needed for coasteering demands aspects of these activities. Ropes, as security on rock, are not used. Any climbing activity usually takes place above deep water, with safety spotters used where appropriate. There is a similarity to the sport of deep-water soloing, but this would normally be carried out by experienced individuals not wearing equipment suitable for coasteering. Coasteering is never a dry, climbing activity.

· Jumping and Diving: are often seen as an appealing and exciting part of coasteering. These activities actually make up minimal content of a coasteering session.

A defining factor of coasteering is the opportunity provided by the marine geology for moving in the “impact zone” where water, waves, rocks, gullies, caves etc, come together to provide a very high energy environment. Coasteering has its origins in the late 19th century and historically has been used as an another description for sea-level traversing.
