Outdoor adventure activities in Dorset
We offer a wide selection of land and water-based outdoor adventure activities, including coasteering, climbing, bushcraft and stand up paddleboarding. Activities take place at our Residential Centre in Swanage and off-site locations along the spectacular Jurassic Coast.
Many of our sessions offer beautiful sea views and provide a unique way to explore the world-famous coastline. Our outdoor adventure activities can be enjoyed by children and adults and are a great option for stag do’s, hen do’s and business away days.
All of our sessions are hosted by our experienced team of instructors. They will ensure you have a safe and enjoyable day, while learning new skills. The Cumulus Team will adapt the session to the needs and abilities of the group. Our activities are well suited to people looking or family friendly things to do in Swanage.
Courses & clubs
Cumulus Outdoors run a range of courses throughout the year at our Residential Centre in Swanage. We’re proud to offer a selection of accredited first aid courses alongside the RLSS Beach Lifeguard course, which is geared towards individuals working in the outdoor education sector.
During the school holidays we run the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme in association with Dorset Council. This has been designed to encourage children to get outside to participate in the adventurous activities available on their doorstep. It also promotes the benefits of healthy eating, with all children receiving a balanced home cooked meal during the session.

Customer Testimonials"We booked rock climbing and abseiling with Cumulus Outdoors for a family activity last weekend. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it, especially our 10 year old daughter and 8 year old son. We had truly brilliant time. Our instructor, Josh, was first class - calm, reassuring and clearly very experienced. We knew we were in great hands".

Customer Testimonials"Coasteering and bushcraft were both brilliantly done.
Coasteering was amazing fun, the instructors are always there to help and I always felt safe even in the bad weather sight.
The bushcraft was a great contrast to the morning excitement. A lovely spot in the forest learning some new skills.
Everyone had a really enjoyable time. I can't wait to go again".Jamie, TripAdvisor
