Canyoning is a sport that intrigues many and feels like it could be dangerous but in reality it has been the domain of children playing in streams and small river gorges for centuries. Limestone and sandstone rock formations carved over millions of years provide ideal riverbed and gorge obstacles, boulders, shapes and sizes for the best canyoning.
Canyoning involves descending a river in a gorge or canyon with full wet suit, scuttle butt and helmet using a variety of techniques from jumping, sliding, abseiling and occasionally swimming! The activity uses natural rock pools, and smooth washed rock formations, as well as the odd waterfall to provide the most amazing fun in a fully guided and controlled experience, and of course the warm climate is perfect for this activity. The surroundings are stunning and our guides will be at pains to tell you about the local topography, rock colourations, local histories and of course the flora, fauna and indigenous wildlife.
Choose a half day or full day activity dependent upon prior experience and enjoyment. For those new to canyoning an initial half day would be recommended to then progress onwards and downwards!
