Great first time canyoning!

It was an enjoyable canyoning trip! We went in March and the water was cold, but the wet suits did help. Requires an average level of fitness to get through some steep areas but our guide was helpful throughout!

Loved it!

I had never tried canyoning and this was a great introduction. I will definitely do canyoning again! I was really worried it would be too cold but the wetsuits were good and it was totally fine. Our guide Brig was awesome and had lots of experience in canyoning. Thank you for a great day!

Great adventure

Brig was very experienced, and added with his sense of humour, it made the entire experience fun and light-hearted. No need for any prior experience - the entire thing was very beginner friendly. Just follow the instructions given and the journey would be easy and enjoyable. Also, wetsuits and other gear are all provided (different sizes available), and in decently good condition. Overall a great adventure :)

Best family day

Absolutely loved this and was our fave family activity. We went with kids 11 and 10. Stephan's relaxed nurture really helped the kids feel at ease. Loved all the waterfalls and laughs. Basic fitness required but there was nothing too difficult and had a small walk in and out. Thank you for sharing this with us and giving our kids first trial of canyoning. Would absolutely do it again.

Thank you for coming canyoning with us and we wish you all the best with your future adventures! Kind regards, Marata Cooney.
