1. Causeway Coasteering
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 165 reviews
Coasteering is adrenaline; cliff jumping, bouldering, climbing, being tossed by waves and basically using our rugged coastline as an adventure playground. However, coasteering is much more than that. For many of our customers, experiencing our beautiful shallow coastal caves, hidden coves and little islands around our breathtaking coastline is the highlight of their visit to the Causeway Coast.

We booked this as part of our holiday - I had done the escape rooms themselves before with friends and thought this new venture would be good as a family activity. This was a great morning for us - we have two boys 8&4 and they enjoyed looking for clues through the special binoculars supplied by Jenny. It was ideal for us as a family to do and it brought us to places we had never been before. Our little one brought his bicycle and that meant he was able to cover the distance. Our eldest had no problem with the walk. Jenny was super explaining things to us and I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone with a young family. We will be back next year if there’s another outdoor puzzle!
