COVID19 UPDATES
26th JANUARY 2021
So far 2021 has brought little relief in pursuing a program of activities. A majority of guides have chosen to leave the industry or they are understandably reluctant to expose themselves to managing groups. The office remains closed and staff furloughed.
We are currently looking at the feasibility of a 'click and collect' equipment hire service for which updates will be posted here.
Please note that all outdoor activities at Lulworth Cove are now conducted by Lulworth Outdoors on 01929 400155

14TH JULY 2020
Normally at this point Jurassic Coast Activities are busy at the height of the season, but to date we have not ‘dipped our toe in the water!’ With office staff furloughed and seasonal staff not yet recruited we have decided with a heavy heart to cease all operations until completely safe to do so, since it is simply not possible to meet government guidelines.
This will be reviewed again next year (January 2021). As previously noted Vouchers and 'roll-overs’ (cancelled tours) will have dates extended replacing the 2020 expiry with 2021 in which we hope to see you then.
Meanwhile please stay safe and enjoy the summer.
21ST JUNE 2020 - RESTRUCTURING UPDATE
Jurassic coast activities are pleased to confirm an association with a variety of local outdoor providers who are able to assist with our backlog of bookings. Any customers holding valid vouchers (this also includes Roll-Overs from previously cancelled activities currently in force) will be able to secure a new date for their activity at Lulworth cove or Isle of Portland when safe to do so and subject to availability. Please note we will not be taking new bookings for this current year.
Please continue to stay posted to this website for updates.

Lulworth cove and Durdle door tours - SAFETY ISSUES.
Due to recent tragic and well publicised events adding to an already difficult time in the recent pandemic it is with regret Jurassic Coast Activities will cease to provide bookings for activities within this area. This decision has not been taken lightly. We feel the beauty and tranquility experienced over the last 18 years of operating at Lulworth Cove has been compromised adding considerably to safety issues. Operating a business in an unregulated tourist hotspot at times has been challenging. This decision has put the viability of continuing with our business in its current format in jeopardy. So a well planned restructuring is to take place and will commence as soon as safe to do so.
All Vouchers currently in force will be extended into next year replacing the cessation year 2020 to 2021 and will now include standard hire of equipment in addition to guided activities. (Please note JCA is not in a position to provide refunds).
Deposits for group bookings for 2021 will be emailed and discussed directly on an individual basis.
As Booking agents JCA is governed by some of the outside providers who have various interpretations of the new rules for which we have to adhere. Updates will be passed on this page upon clarification. Thank you in advance for your patience

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 our priority is the health and well-being of our customers, colleagues and activity providers.
Jurassic Coast Activities are of the opinion it would be unfair for customers to pay for an activity when there is such a high likelihood of a cancellation in the foreseeable future. For this reason we have decided with immediate effect not to take any further bookings for activities. Thank you in advance of understanding this decision and of course its our wish that you can at some point experience the fantastic portfolio of activities we offer in the future.
