This experience is filled with excitement, where you’ll discover the beauty of canyoning without the need for any daring jumps. Our tour is designed with the beginner adventurer in mind, offering an array of thrilling activities such as slides, abseils and climbing challenges – all perfectly suited for participants with medium fitness levels.

Rest assured, our qualified and experienced guides are fluent in English and dedicated to ensuring your safety and enjoyment. Throughout the entire adventure they’ll be by your side, providing expert guidance and encouragement every step of the way.

It’s the perfect way to cap off your day of adrenaline-pumping fun!

But before you take the plunge, here’s the scoop: while no prior experience is needed, a medium level of fitness is required.
