Coasteering
The Home of Coasteering
Coasteering began here on the Pembrokeshire coast in the mid-1980s, and TYF has been taking people on adventures along this shoreline ever since.
Our sessions are led by fully qualified and highly experienced instructors who know this coast intimately — if you’re going to go coasteering, go with the people who pioneered it.
Discovery Coasteering
Discovery Coasteering offers the full Pembrokeshire coasteering experience within a mixed-age group, moving along the same stretch of coastline and taking on the same scrambles, swims and jumps, with the day shaped around a supportive group dynamic where families, younger people, teens and adults share the adventure together.

Pioneer Coasteering
Pioneer Coasteering is an advanced coasteering experience designed for adults aged and over 16’s who have previously coasteered with TYF and are looking for a bigger physical and technical challenge. These sessions explore more committing sections of coastline and involve sustained swimming and scrambling, requiring a higher level of fitness, confidence in the sea and the ability to look after yourself in a more serious coastal environment.
*Pioneer Coasteering is suitable only for confident, capable participants who have coasteered with TYF before, are comfortable swimming in open water, and have a good level of fitness. This is a more demanding and committing experience than our standard coasteering sessions and is not suitable for first-time coasteerers.

Coasteering in Pembrokeshire with TYF is about taking part with confidence, clarity and care.
How long is the session? +
Typically, a half-day session is 3.5 hours from meeting to goodbyes. You’ll usually spend around 2 to 2.5 hours on the activity itself, depending on how quickly you can get your wetsuit on!
What should I wear? +
Come dressed for the weather in comfortable clothes, and bring swimwear and a towel. We’ll provide wetsuits and any other specialist or safety clothing you need for your session.
For coasteering, you’ll need trainers that you’re happy to wear in the sea. If you don’t have suitable ones, we have spares you can borrow. Beach shoes and water shoes aren’t suitable for coasteering.
Do I need to bring my own equipment? +
No. We’ll provide all the specialist equipment you need for your chosen activity, including wetsuits and all necessary safety equipment.
You’ll just need to bring the personal items mentioned for your activity, such as swimwear, a towel and suitable footwear.
Can I use my own equipment (e.g. wetsuit, buoyancy aid or helmet)? +
Yes, you can use some of your own equipment, but we generally recommend using ours as it’s specifically chosen for the activities we run.
You’re welcome to wear your own wetsuit, although we recommend using one of ours. Our 5mm winter wetsuits are designed to keep you warm in Pembrokeshire waters, and activities such as coasteering can be tough on wetsuits, particularly around sharp rocks. If you choose to wear your own wetsuit or other personal equipment, you do so at your own risk, including the risk of damage or loss.
If you’d like to use your own safety equipment, such as a buoyancy aid or helmet, one of our team will need to check it before the session. It must be suitable for the activity, in good condition and within the manufacturer’s recommended lifespan. We may ask you to use TYF equipment instead if we don’t consider your own equipment suitable.
If you’re unsure, bring it along and we’ll take a look.
What is the instructor-to-participant ratio for activities? +
At TYF, we take your safety seriously and ensure that every participant has adequate supervision from a qualified expert. Our instructor-to-participant ratios are:
Coasteering – 1:10
How long before my session should I arrive? +
Please arrive roughly 10 minutes before your session so that we have time to get you properly kitted out in good time for your adventure.
Are sessions ever cancelled due to the weather? +
We’re pretty hardy here in West Wales, so our activities go ahead in most weather – it’s all part of the adventure!
Sometimes, though, weather and sea conditions mean it isn’t safe or appropriate to run the activity as planned. If that happens, we may change the activity, move to a different location or, occasionally, cancel the session.
We keep a close eye on the conditions and will contact you as soon as possible if we need to make any changes. If you haven’t heard from us, please assume your session is going ahead as planned and come prepared for the weather.
Are there any weight, height or age restrictions for the activities? +
The minimum age for our activities is 8 years old. We don’t have specific height or weight limits, but you do need to be able to comfortably and safely fit the equipment required for your activity.
Our wetsuit range currently goes up to a women’s size 18 and a men’s 3XL. If you’re unsure whether we’ll have suitable equipment for you, please get in touch with us before booking and we’ll be happy to advise.
You’ll also need a reasonable level of fitness and mobility to take part in our activities. Coasteering is our most physically demanding activity and involves swimming, scrambling over rocks and moving through uneven coastal terrain.
If you’re unsure whether an activity is suitable for you or someone in your group, please get in touch before booking and we can talk through what’s involved.
How physically demanding are the activities? +
Our activities are active and adventurous, so you’ll need a reasonable level of fitness and mobility to take part. You should be comfortable being physically active outdoors for up to 3 hours, including on uneven and sometimes challenging terrain.
Coasteering is our most physically demanding activity and involves swimming, scrambling over rocks, climbing and moving through the coastal environment.
Our guides will adapt the pace and level of challenge where they can, but there is a minimum level of physical ability needed to take part safely.
If you’re unsure whether an activity is suitable for you or someone in your group, please get in touch before booking and we can talk through what’s involved.
Are there any medical conditions that would prevent someone from participating in the activities? +
Having a medical condition doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t take part, but we do need to know about anything that could affect your safety or ability to participate.
Please tell us about any relevant medical conditions, injuries, medication or other concerns when you book. If you’re unsure whether an activity is suitable for you, get in touch before booking so we can talk through what’s involved.
In some circumstances, we may recommend a different activity or ask you to seek advice from a healthcare professional before taking part.
How do I get to the activity location? +
You can find us here.
My question isn’t on here! +
No problem. If you have any further questions about Coasteering, please get in touch with us for a chat via our contact page. We’re always happy to help.

In these circumstances, participants will not normally be entitled to a refund.

where weather, sea conditions, tides, environmental factors or operational requirements make this necessary.

14. Liability
TYF Adventure delivers professionally managed adventurous activities designed to reduce the risk of serious injury or death to an acceptable level. However, no adventurous activity can eliminate risk entirely.
Our activities take place in dynamic natural environments where conditions such as weather, tides, sea state, terrain and other natural hazards can change. Despite careful planning, experienced guides, maintained equipment and robust safety procedures, participation involves inherent risks, including the possibility of serious injury or death.
Further details of these inherent risks are set out in the TYF Adventure Participant Declaration, which every participant must complete before taking part.
Participants are expected to follow all reasonable instructions given by TYF Adventure staff throughout their activity.
TYF Adventure will not accept liability for injury, loss or damage arising from a participant’s failure to follow reasonable instructions, failure to disclose relevant medical information, failure to carry essential declared medication, or behaviour that places themselves or others at unnecessary risk.

Information collected during booking and participation is used solely for the administration and safe delivery of your activity.
