Canyoning · COASTEERING TOURS IN ITALY
Here are 5 coasteering tours in Italy that earn the drive up the valley, with what each costs, how hard it is and the one detail worth knowing before you put the wetsuit on.
Start at Spiaggia delle Acque Calde and paddle Vulcano’s east coast with an English-speaking guide. You’ll enter caves, pass under arches, swim in clear water, and see bubbling fumaroles. Open or closed kayaks depend on conditions, and Eugenio may help if weather forces a change of plan.
“Très bon guide ! Avec une excellente réactivité.”
Meet your professional English- or Italian-speaking guide at Pinus Village Beach for a four-hour coasteering trip along the Chia coast. You’ll receive a helmet and safety equipment, walk through Mediterranean scrub, clamber over rocks, and reach high points for jumps into clear water. No previous experience is needed, but you should be comfortable walking and swimming.
“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.”
You’ll follow an Italian or English-speaking guide from Outdoor Portofino near Paraggi Bay, swimming and scrambling along the Niasca coast between Paraggi and Portofino. The two-hour outing includes a safety briefing, wetsuit, helmet, and life jacket. Expect clear water, rock jumps, and hands-on coastal adventure for ages 14 to 65.
“Met ons gezin genoten van het klimmen, springen op en van de rosten! Van laag naar steeds hoger. Top ervaring in prachtig helder water… TOP locatie! 2,5 uur behoorlijk actief bezig… dus als je een beetje van uitdaging houdt is dit een aanrader!”
Meet Outdoor Portofino at 10:00 a.m. for a 2.5-hour route from Niasca to Baia del Cannone. You’ll climb coastal rock, jump into the sea, and swim in a sheltered cove with a small group of up to 12. Life jacket, helmet, and full wetsuit are provided. Bring grippy shoes and swimwear.
“Great experience highly recommend excellent guide best money spent in Portofino. Thank you for the great time John”
Meet your guide near Cala Dragunara for a 3-hour coasteering route through Porto Conte Regional Park. You will swim in clear water, visit caves, make optional jumps of 1 to 6 meters, and descend by rope 12 to 15 meters toward the sea. The small group, capped at 10 people, suits active beginners aged 12 and up.
“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.”
Choose the water first: river gorge, sea cliff or desert slot.
