Coasteering is amazing
Coasteering is a combination of adventure swimming, climbing, scrambling and cliff jumping -where you will be exploring gullies, caves, cracks, and a variety of rock formations created over millennia by the Wild Atlantic Ocean! This activity is the embodiment of the Wild Atlantic Way and the best way to feel the power of the raw and wild west coast. No two coasteering session are the same, and that is the beauty of it!
***The NPWS is currently assessing the management of Doonloughan, which serves as the access point for our coasteering activities. Although we will still be providing coasteering, there is now an extra 850m walk (roughly 10 mins) to reach the start point and then the same to return. This measure has been implemented to regulate the number of vehicles crossing the dunes.***
