ADULT & FAMILY COASTEERING IN Tenby And Stackpole Quay
Step into an extraordinary world of coastal adventure with Outer Reef, where we've spent 25 years perfecting the art of unforgettable experiences along the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Our expert-led coasteering journeys showcase two of Wales' most breathtaking locations - the historic limestone cliffs of Tenby and the pristine National Trust coastline of Stackpole Quay. Each destination offers its own unique magic, from hidden sea caves and dramatic cliff jumps to close encounters with local wildlife and fascinating insights into our rich maritime heritage.
At Tenby, you'll explore ancient limestone caves and archways, with crystal-clear Welsh waters beckoning below and stunning views of Caldey Island creating the perfect backdrop for your adventure. Meanwhile, Stackpole Quay offers a different kind of magic, where dramatic cliff formations meet pristine beaches, and a rich marine ecosystem thrives in protected waters. Both locations are carefully selected to provide safe, exciting experiences for everyone from families seeking gentle exploration to thrill-seekers craving an adrenaline rush.
