Deep Water Solo & Kayaking with Bioluminescent Plankton

Depending on the tide the schedule will change.

12:30: Please be at the office to try on shoes, we depart at 1pm.

• Then the boat will cruise to the first wall called Sea Face, meanwhile the tour guides will explain and give you some tips about the jumping and landing techniques. Before each climb, they'll explain the name, grade and some hard movements you might need in the climb. At first, you'll start with a basic one (4a, 5m high) to get to know the feeling of jumping and correct your landing techniques, then based on your strength and climbing skills, our guides will recommend the next routes for you to try. There are about 15 routes on Sea Face, graded from 4a to 7a, mostly they're from 5a to 6b. There are also some traverse routes if you don't want to jump from a too high level.

Next Challenge: The Three Brothers Wall

• After conquering Sea Face, the adventure continues as we cruise to our second climbing spot — Three Brothers. This wall is more challenging and suited for climbers looking to push their limits. It features around 18 routes, graded from 5b to 7c+, offering a wide variety of lines for those seeking technical climbs, power moves, and higher jumps.
• Whether you're working on endurance, technique, or simply looking for that adrenaline rush, Three Brothers delivers the perfect combination of challenge and stunning scenery.
