Introduction to Canyoneering

Canyoneering encompasses the thrilling adventure of descending canyons from one point to another, often involving a combination of hiking, scrambling, rappelling, jumping, and swimming. While beginner levels may focus on non-technical descents or canyon hiking, more advanced canyoneering involves technical skills such as rope work, abseiling, and navigating through challenging terrain and water features.

Sustainability Tips

Preserving the fragile ecosystems of canyons is paramount for the sustainability of canyoneering experiences. Practitioners must minimize disturbance to wildlife, respect access restrictions, and practice Leave No Trace principles. This includes proper waste disposal, minimizing fire impact, respecting wildlife, and minimizing trampling and damage to vegetation.

Preparations

Canyoneering involves navigating through rugged terrain and waterways, presenting participants with inherent risks like falls from height, human errors, jumps, hypothermia, rockfall, and potential flash floods. To ensure the safety of participants, tour guides possess advanced technical skills in anchors, rope work, and managing whitewater environments. They are adept at conducting dynamic risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential hazards along the route to ensure a safe a fun experience for all.
