About this tour
A three-day adventure combining surfing lessons, coasteering around Towan Headland, and nights in a private woodland bell-tent camp near Newquay. You'll learn to surf with coaches, navigate coastal rock formations on foot, and sleep under stars with fire pits and woodland activities—all geared toward solo travellers, couples and small friend groups after genuine immersion rather than resort comfort.
Highlights
- Surf coaching from experienced instructors with provided wetsuits and boards
- Coasteering expedition around Towan Headland with safety equipment supplied
- Stay in handcrafted bell tents at a private woodland campsite, not commercial grounds
- Fire pits, fairy lights and outdoor activities in a laid-back, off-grid setting

- Three days immersed in active Cornish coastal lifestyle, away from Newquay town
- Suitable for 18+ solo travellers, couples and small groups seeking adventure
What to expect
You'll start with a briefing and wetsuits fitted before hitting the waves for your surf lesson with experienced coaches. Your second day involves a guided coasteering adventure—scrambling, climbing and swimming around Towan Headland's rock formations with all safety kit provided. Evenings are spent at the woodland camp: you'll prepare and cook your own BBQ dinner, relax around the fire pit, and sleep in a bell tent on an airbed with sleeping bag. Mornings include light breakfast before your final departure.
The entire experience is outdoors and weather-exposed. You're camping in a genuine woodland setting, not a serviced facility—expect basic conditions, an early start on day two, and full immersion in the elements from late afternoon through the following morning.
