The Team

Vertical Descents was born in the Highlands of Scotland. There the company has developed a well established Canyoning and White Water Rafting Centre. After six years of trading a natural progression to the ocean has seen Vertical Descents branching out and bringing coastline activities to Cornwall. Established by brothers Ben and Sam Starkie, Vertical Descents Cornwall offers the ultimate adventure for both individuals and groups. We tailor our activities to your needs. So if you are an extremist we can give you the buzz you are looking for, or if you are after something more relaxing, enjoy a unique and different perspective of the Cornish Coast.

One of our philosophy’s is

“Leave only footprints, take only photos”

We like to provide memory adventures that last a life time. We are an environmentally conscious company who tries to minimise the impact on the natural environment. We try not to use the same sites too often and we ensure that all of our participants understand the impact that each have on the natural surroundings when taking part in each activity.
