Find out more about... coasteering in Scotland

Jump into some great coasteering fun in
the north-east of Scotland this year

Like children picking treats in a sweetie shop the range and variety of outdoor adventure activities in Scotland is exciting yet sometimes mesmerising. We will be blogging about the different adventure activities on offer with Highway 2 Adventure so that you can make the right choice for you and your friends or family.

What is coasteeering?

Coasteering is a fun and exciting activity that sees participants of all ages navigating their way along sections of Scotland’s gorgeous shoreline. Coasteering takes in a range of pursuits, including swimming, jumping, scrambling, climbing and seashore traversing.

The chances are you'll encounter Zawns (rock slots that cut into sea cliffs), Buffer Zones (the swell drop-offs behind rock outcrops) and Pour Overs (areas where waves push over boulders).

No two coasteering trips are ever the same because of differing weather and sea conditions and Highway 2 Adventure can tailor trips to suit different adrenaline desires or ages.

Why Highway 2 Adventure?: The east coast of Scotland offers a fabulous setting for coasteering adventures. The scenery is wonderful and coasteering offers a great way to explore some remote and hard-to-get-to places set amid stunning scenery. You may also be lucky enough to catch sight of some of Scotland’s wildlife, including seabirds, seals and dolphins.

Who will enjoy coasteering?: Participants should be able to swim and have a sense of adventure but you do not have to do anything you do not feel comfortable with. Everyone is shown how to safely jump into pools or make a traverse so all you need to do is let yourself go and have some fun.

Why not ask about Highway2Adventure's bespoke hen and stag do coasteering trips or coasteering for family groups? Highway2Adventure can tailor trips for families to suit ages and desires.

What's more: A coasteering trip usually takes place in spring or summer and participants will wear wetsuits for warmth.Other kit that is provided incudes buoyancy aid, boots and helmet. You’ll need to wear a swimsuit underneath. A session lasts around 2 hours and is priced from around £35 per person.

Go on..why not give this fun outdoors adventure activity a go this spring or summer?

Scotland the adventure destination

Scotland has become renowned worldwide as a top destination for outdoor adventure seekers. Thanks to the stunning and varied landscape, as well as the enthusiasm and expertise of outdoor activity providers and instructors, people come from across the UK and overseas to enjoy easy access to a wealth of fun outdoor pursuits.

Situated in the beautiful southern Cairngorm National Park, yet still close to the vibrant city of Dundee, we reckon Highway2Adventure is in one of the best locations to offer a wealth of outdoor activities, and for all ages and desires.

We enjoy a fabulous coastline on our doorstep with numerous sandy beaches, coves and cliffs.

The shoreline is ideal for adventures such as coasteering, sea kayaking and climbing. Here you’ll also find lots of Scottish wildlife, including seabirds and marine life.

Inland within the Cairngorms National Park are the green and rolling hills of Angus Glens. Waterfalls, rivers, moors and mountains offer the perfect terrain for outdoor activities, including canyoning, gorge walking, climbing/abseiling and mountain biking.
