Coasteering in Pembrokeshire | TYF Adventure in St Davids

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.

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.

If a participant fails to disclose relevant medical information or arrives without essential medication that has been declared, TYF Adventure may refuse their participation where, in the opinion of our guides, it would be unsafe for them to take part.

Similarly, if at any point before or during the activity our guides believe a participant is unable to participate safely due to their fitness, medical condition, injury, illness or impairment, TYF Adventure reserves the right to refuse or end their participation.

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

Participants must not take part in any activity whilst under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.

Any participant who appears to be impaired may be refused participation without refund.

  • activity venues;
  • launch locations;
  • routes;
  • timings;
  • session format;
  • or substitute an alternative activity,

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

These changes form part of the normal delivery of adventurous activities and do not constitute cancellation.


12. Weather & Cancellations

Our activities operate in a wide range of weather conditions.

Where possible we will adapt the activity or offer an alternative adventure that is suitable for the conditions.

If TYF Adventure determines that conditions are unsuitable for any activity to safely take place, we will normally offer:

  • road closures;
  • natural events;
  • government restrictions;
  • public health emergencies;
  • industrial action;
  • utility failures; or
  • other unforeseen circumstances.

Where possible we will work with you to rearrange your booking.


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.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits TYF Adventure’s liability where such liability cannot legally be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

We recommend that participants have appropriate personal travel and activity insurance where applicable.


15. Personal Property

Participants are welcome to leave small personal belongings with TYF Adventure during activities where facilities are available.

All property is left entirely at the owner’s risk.

Items taken onto activities remain the responsibility of the participant.

TYF Adventure cannot accept responsibility for loss, theft or damage to personal belongings except where required by law.


16. Photography

During activities, TYF Adventure may take photographs or video for promotional purposes.

If you would prefer not to appear in photographs or video, please let your guide know before your activity begins and we will respect your wishes wherever reasonably possible.


17. Privacy

Personal information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection legislation.

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


18. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Any disputes arising from these Terms & Conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
