Advanced Canyoning
These canyons are suitable for people who are at an intermediate level. These canyons can involve more technical rope work which means some experience abseiling is important. The canyons in this category may have big jumps or long abseils. Some of these canyons may be more specific to one element of progression, such as the Tummel canyon has no jumps or slides, but is full of abseils and ziplines. The approach to the canyons can be up to 40 minutes of uphill walking. Advanced canyons can be more commiting which means the ability to walk out of the canyon can be reduced due to its depth or steep walls. These canyons can last 2 - 3 hours in the canyon.
ADVANCED CANYONS

Extreme canyons are only suitable for people who at a very good intermediate or advanced level. These canyons can be very technical so the ability and confidence with abseiling is important. There may be big jumps and big abseils. The approach to these canyons can be up to 1 hour of uphill walking, so a very good level of fitness is required.

CANYONING ADVENTURE EXPERIENCES
Canyoning is a perfect mix of different outdoor activities. But although canyoning uses a mixture of skills it has its own specific way to do things. It involves rock climbing skills, as there is often abseiling and rappelling. Swimming is an important part as most canyons have water in them.
Canyoneering is an adventure activity. It combines rock and water activities into a sport full of adrenaline and natural beauty. When you go canyoning you will be trekking through river gorges. You will also explore around rock pools and behind waterfalls. You will find yourself abseiling down waterfalls as well as tackling cliff jumps into stunning water rock pools.
