Coasteering

It is surprising to recognize the volcanic features of an island, drawn as an identity line in the human’s palm.

Explore in an exhilarating experience

Here, you can explore the geography of the giant rocky cliffs climbing through the sky and how the pounding waves smooth the coastline. Coasteering is an exhilarating experience combining rock and water activity with coastal landscapes. It was originated as a combination of mountaineering and orienteering.
