Canyoning is a seriously addictive sport!

Canyoning has always been regarded to be quite an “extreme” sport. However, today with professional instruction and route selection Canyoning is now open to beginners and families, and can follow a far more sedate pace if required?

What is Canyoning?

Canyoning is the art of hiking, climbing, or rappelling to the bottom of a river canyon, then following the canyon to an exit point, or a spot which is easy to hike out. The idea is to follow the water downwards: over drops into pools, down chutes and through deep water. This involves walking, scrambling, sliding, climbing and swimming. Vertical drops are either jumped or abseiled from bolts already in place.

Warning!

Canyoning is a seriously addictive sport and can involve water slides as well as abseiling and routes can even lead you underground for brief periods.

How safe is Canyoning?

There is an element of risk with every sport. Most Canyoning is done with professional guides who are very familiar with the routes that they choose. Use of a qualified guide will greatly reduce the risks of canyoning, but guests must appreciate that a degree of risk is always involved in all our activities.
