ADRENALINE · COASTEERING TOURS IN ITALY
Good coasteering tours in Italy fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet the Sicily in Kayak team at Spiaggia delle Acque Calde for a two-hour paddle along Vulcano’s east coast. Eugenio is among the guides associated with the experience. You’ll learn basic paddling, enter caves and arches, swim or snorkel in clear water, and pass bubbling fumaroles. Kayak choice depends on weather and season.
“Très bon guide ! Avec une excellente réactivité.”
Meet your English or Italian-speaking guide at Pinus Village Beach for a beginner-friendly four-hour coasteering trip. You’ll walk through Mediterranean scrub, climb rocky shoreline, use provided safety gear, and jump from suitable points into Chia’s clear water. Bring beachwear, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, a towel, and dry clothes.
“We had an amazing experience climbing around the coast and jumping into clear blue water, we had never done it before and our guide was very patient and helpful throughout. If you’re looking for a thrill seeking activity, this is the one to do.”
Join Outdoor Portofino for a two-hour coasteering outing between Paraggi Bay and Portofino. With a guide speaking Italian and English, you will swim, jump from rocks, and climb along the shore in a group of up to 10. Wetsuit, helmet, life jacket, and instruction are included. Bring grippy sports shoes that can get wet.
“Awesome experience! Great combination of swimming, diving, and a bit of climbing along the beautiful bay of Niasca.”
You’ll climb, jump, and swim between Niasca and Baia del Cannone with Outdoor Portofino. The 2.5-hour small-group trip includes a helmet, life jacket, and full wetsuit. You must be a confident swimmer, bring grippy sneakers, and be between 14 and 65.
“Great experience highly recommend excellent guide best money spent in Portofino. Thank you for the great time John”
Spend three hours coasteering from Cala Dragunara through Capo Caccia’s clear waters and sea caves. With a guide such as Corrado, you’ll use a wetsuit, helmet, life jacket, and harness for optional jumps from 1 to 6 meters and rope descents of 12 to 15 meters. Beginners are welcome, but good footing and comfort on wet rocks matter.
“What a great trip! Corrado is a super relaxed guy who takes his time and exudes calm and security. We climbed a bit and abseiled. Jumping into the water from a height of a few meters is incredible. Definitely recommended, even with a 13-year-old son.”
Meet your guide at Cagliari’s Calata Azuni for a half-day coasteering trip to Chia. You’ll walk rocky shorelines, swim through coves, climb coastal rocks, and use a temporary zipline before leaping into clear Mediterranean water. Equipment, snacks, drinks, and port transport are included. The minimum age is 8.
