We needed a short activity to complete a fun packed hen weekend, vertical descents suggested slacklining. Very reasonably priced and so much fun we had an absolute blast, the staff were friendly and professional and it was the highlight of the weekend. After an hours session i ended up buying 6 slacklines for friends and family - awesome. Would recommend... More

The highlight of the stag weekend, Sam and his crew were ready to pick us up late afternoon for what was superb evening coasteer session. Hard to know what to expect and was worried that it could be a bit tame but was certainly not the case as we finally had a moment of hesitation from the normally fearless stag!... More

I went out coasteering with vertical descents as part of my suprise hen-do, and months on we still can't stop talking about it! I went out with a group of 6 girls, and despite the fact that it was freezing cold and several of the party were incredibly nervous we had an amazing time. Pentire headland, over looking Crantock, is... More

Having been on a coasteer around pentire headland with sam and his crew at vertical descents, I'd certainly recommend it as an amazing experience that is a complete must if you're visiting the newquay area. We were lucky to head on on a beautiful day and the views along were amazing. Exploring hard to reach places you'll find some of... More

I have been coasteering and surfing with Vertical Descents a few times now and cant recommend them more highly. They have a great team of staff that are very welcoming and helpful. They turn up to meet you with great equipment and knowledge and at a very reasonable price. More

Took my 14 yr old daughter for a coasteering session. We both had a grate time clambering over the cliffs, jumping into the sea, and swimming through caves. There was nothing tricky, you don't need to be a climber or even have a good head for heights. The instructors were all very capable and helpful. the equipment was good (use... More

Did this a couple of weeks ago for my Stag do in a large group and everyone loved it- Highly recommend this for a group of friends as something you won't often get the chance to do. Guides were very friendly and gave clear instructions on all the necessary safety items. The jumps start off small and build up and... More

Excellent guides. Very conscientious about safety but did not in any way spoil the fun. Guides on coasteering very important and had very good local knowledge. Would definitely recommend for Kiting and coasteering. More
