Canyoning is a water sport that consists of descending canyons. It is done mostly on foot, sometimes swimming, occasionally climbing down rocks, jumping into water from various heights, or using rappelling techniques. You will also slide down fun natural water slides while navigating the narrowest parts of the river or stream.
First, you need the specific equipment like in any other sport. Next, locate the place you want to practice that meets the optimal conditions. Get informed about the itinerary and all its sections. Then, the technical part is to safely descend the canyon.
There’s no specific age limit but an appropriate attitude is required. Recommended from 8 years old.
Canyoning is not difficult if you choose the canyon based on your physical abilities and preparation level. It is considered a sport for all ages from 8 years onwards. If after trying a canyon you want to increase difficulty, that’s no problem. Just start with beginner canyons and follow your guide’s instructions for an easier descent.
Like all adventure and risk sports, there is some danger involved. To reduce risks, which always exist, it is essential to follow safety rules. Choosing the right canyon and evaluating conditions helps reduce danger. That’s why it’s important to do canyoning with an official certified guide.
There are specific canyoning shoes, but if you don’t have them, trekking boots with grippy soles and ankle support or running shoes with good traction are recommended.
Our experience shows that even people with vertigo or fear of heights can enjoy canyoning. It depends on your attitude, the guide’s experience, and the canyon. We offer canyons based on your preferences but please be honest and inform us in advance of any fears or health issues.
Most canyons don’t require mandatory jumps. You can use other methods like rappelling. In some descents, you can avoid exposed areas by going around the canyon margin. It’s best to discuss this with your guide before choosing a canyon.
Don’t worry. Contact us and we’ll help you choose a canyon that doesn’t require high fitness but can still be fun and enjoyable. Ideally, you should be accustomed to walking on uneven terrain and be ready to challenge yourself.
Generally, swimming skills are mandatory for canyoning, but not all canyons have deep pools. Sometimes water only reaches knee or waist height. If not, precautions are taken. The most important thing is to notify the guide.
If you have any physical complications or medical conditions, inform the guide or company from the start. If you’re asthmatic or need medication, give it to the guide to carry during the activity. You are fully responsible if you fail to disclose this, and the activity will be cancelled immediately for safety reasons.
