Rip n Rock Adventure holidays

Coasteering with us is on the Gower Peninsula, Swansea, South Wales. It's an adventure that takes you swimming in deep water and going along, up, off and sometimes actually THROUGH our magnificent cliffs. Under the supervision of experienced guides, coasteering is a truly unique and thrilling way to explore the Gower coastline

On your journey you'll take on the exhilaration of cliff jumps, exploring caves, rock traverses and (possibly) see some awesome marine-life including seals, porpoise and otters. Whatever your adventure threshold or ability our guides are sure to give you a made-to-measure session. Coasteering is definitely an activity for everyone; be honest about your abilities, be open to new things and trust us to provide you with a once in a life time experience.

Swansea has some of the finest coastline in the UK, making coasteering on Gower Peninsular an even more breathtaking adventure.

CANYONING - Jump, slide and swim you way down this magnificent river canyon. Bigger and bolder than gorge walking, canyoning offers big jumps, bumpy water slides and stunning waterfalls. With challenges like 'Down Time', 'Ledge of Nowhere' and 'The Slamdunk' its a great option for those looking to push themselves beyond their comfort levels! All kit supplied you just need trainers and a towel.

GORGE WALKING - Make your way up a narrow, steep river gorge, fully kitted up in wetsuits, helmets and buoyancy aids. Loads of wet and rocky challenges lead you through 'The Jacuzzi', 'Jurassic Gorge' and 'Pyrhana Pool'  to waterfall jumps......all just a warm up to the ultimate challenge, LOONIES LEAP!

Both activities are near Swansea and Cardiff, South Wales and will take your breath away by their wild beauty.
