Introduction
During this experience, you’ll be challenged on every level in a myriad of wilderness & adventure scenarios: wild swimming, coasteering, survival skills and navigating a rescue raft back to shore. It’s no easy feat and to become a true Cornwall Castaway you must successfully complete every wilderness & adventure challenge.
“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit” Edward Abbey. Need we say more?
On arrival at the Newquay Activity Centre, one of the experienced instructors will kit you out in a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet and lead you to the beginning of your Castaway adventure.
Challenge one: Making dry land - Shortly after being ‘shipwrecked’, your objective is make dry land by means of wild sea swimming, climbing and traversing your way along the rocks, riding sluices (nature’s natural rapids) and diving into deep water plunge pools.
Challenge two: Cave survival - On making it to Dead Man’s Cove, you’ll take on a host of wilderness & adventure survival skills. Here you will forage for edible cave delicacies, collect fuel to build a fire and also learn how to identify fascinating marine and bird life.
Challenge three: Raft escape - Once your belly is full and energies are recharged it's time to escape Dead Man’s Cove. Fortunately for you a life raft (a.k.a our huge Super Stand Up Paddleboard) will be somewhere in the vicinity as a means of escape.
Challenge three: Raft escape - Working as team, you’ll learn how to launch & land the castaway raft, perform efficient paddle strokes both standing up and kneeling down, steer & control the craft and navigate our craggy coastline back to the safety of the shore.
