Coasteering is an adventure activity where you move along a rocky coastline by swimming, scrambling, climbing, and doing optional jumps in the “wave zone” where sea meets rock, instead of following a normal trail or staying on a boat. With Splitdyboat, that means exploring Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark sea arches, caves, and volcanic rock columns up close in the water, not just viewing them from a distance.​

.

Compared with hiking, coasteering leaves the land trail and takes you into the intertidal zone, so you are in and out of the sea rather than walking on dry paths.

.

Compared with canyoning, it happens on the coast (not in a river gorge) and usually does not use ropes or abseiling, focusing instead on swimming, traversing rocks, and surf play.

.

Compared with snorkelling, coasteering is more about moving along the coastline, climbing and jumping with full safety gear, while snorkelling mainly focuses on floating and watching marine life in calmer water.

There are some basic restrictions for safety, but most healthy guests can join. Children aged 9+ are welcome on Splitdyboat tours as long as they are accompanied and supervised by an adult, with specific requirements outlined in our Terms and Conditions and Geopark FAQ.​

.

Coasteering is not recommended if you are pregnant or have serious heart, respiratory, spinal, knee, ankle, or other significant medical issues; guests should be in generally good health and able to manage uneven terrain and open water with a buoyancy aid. If you have any medical condition or concerns, let us know in advance and consult your doctor; final participation is at your own risk and subject to our safety assessment on the day.

You do not need to be a strong or fast swimmer, but you must be comfortable in open water with a life jacket and able to do basic swimming or doggy‑paddle over short distances.

.

For operator like Splitdyboat coasteering, routes and pace are chosen to suit beginners, and there are extra buoyancy aid for everyone that keeps you afloat while guides stay close and support less confident swimmers.

The main coasteering season is typically spring to autumn (around March–October), when water and air temperatures are more comfortable;

.

During those months, coasteering tours can operate everyday, weather and sea conditions permitting, thanks to Hong Kong’s mild climate.

.

Specific dates and available sessions are shown on each tour’s product page.

No minimum—even solo travelers (1 person) are welcome! We run shared tours daily with flexible capacity.

Yes. Splitdyboat offers private and corporate coasteering sessions for teams, schools, and special groups, with customised timing and route in the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.​

.

In addition to the coasteering experience, private/co‐branding days can include exclusive speedboats, dedicated guides, and add‑on activities such as sightseeing, snorkeling, or island hopping, designed as team‑building or incentive experiences. For large groups, multiple boats and guides can be arranged, with a low coach‑to‑participant ratio to keep things safe and interactive.

Most essentials are simple: swimwear, aqua shoes, sun protection, and a change of clothes. Splitdyboat provides the technical safety gear like life jacket, helmet, gloves for coasteering.​

.

For your coasteering tour, please bring:

• Swimwear to wear under the wetsuit, plus a towel and dry clothes for after the tour​
• Secure water shoes or old trainers with good grip (they will get wet), and optional light gloves for rock contact​
• Sun protection: water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and a small waterproof bag / phone case if you want to carry your own items​
