The coasteering is one of the most adrenaline-pumping water sports that can be practiced at sea. Considered to be the evolution of canyoning at sea, it combines swimming, diving and climbing along the rocky shoreline, allowing you to explore the reef from a unique perspective.
In 2018 we brought coasteering to Italy, to Portofino, introducing to the Mediterranean a discipline already popular in the UK. In addition to fun, it is an extraordinary way to discover the intertidal belt and natural wonders of the Ligurian coast up close.
Swimming, diving and climbing: discover the coast and its natural wonders up close!
Coasteering is a true marine reef trek. It runs along the shoreline alternating between traverses, dives, passages in the surf and climbing sections at water level.
Unlike traditional canyoning, it does not involve ropes or harnesses: you remain in close contact with the sea at all times, without reaching great heights. Good aquatics, fair physical condition and familiarity with outdoor activities are required.
To practice coasteering safely we provide:
The equipment provides thermal protection and safety during activity along the rocky coast.
Thanks to the climate of the Ligurian Sea, the coasteering in Liguria can be practiced all year round. The water temperature rarely drops below 13°C, and with an appropriate wetsuit, the activity can be practiced in any season.
Spring, summer, fall, and winter offer different but always fascinating conditions for this experience between sea and reef.
