Abseiling.

Descending through Jersey's history.

Abseiling in Jersey delivers breathtaking views with your adrenalin rush. You’ll be able to descend ancient cliff faces, eroded away by the elements.  In the past, local guides have been given the opportunity to abseil key island landmarks like medieval forts, German WW2 radio towers and more. This is the perfect chance for you to connect with our curiously Brit…(ish) island’s heritage.

It is important to remember that like all adrenaline sports, abseiling presents certain risks. It really is important that you take the necessary precautions before attempting any descent. The safest way of course, is to use experts that know the terrain. We recommend booking a session with one the island’s fantastic adventure providers.
