We went on the Alva glen canyoning trip with Ben and Will, they were great instructors, very easy going and friendly. They responded quickly and gave us the photos before we left at the end of the trip. Qualified and professional, even taking the time to show us extra things that we found interesting. Definitely coming back and if you wish to go canyoning in Scotland then you should choose the canyoning company and you won't be disappointed.

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.

CANYONING SCOTLAND

WHAT IS CANYONING?

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.

CANYONING IN SCOTLAND

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience.

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

The best canyons are often found in mountainous areas. Where rivers and steep mountains form deep river canyons. Due to the natural erosion of the water on the rock beautiful rock features can be found.

From this process smooth waterfalls are formed to create almost a natural water park. Some canyons can be technical (involving ropes and tricky moves). Many canyons are accessible to all and can just involve jumping and walking. The best locations in the UK are found in Scotland. There are also some canyons in North Wales and the Lake District.

When there is water a lot of fun can be had. However, some knowledge of water safety and the ability to swim is vital. Often you can slide down natural chutes. Jump into deep pools. You can also swim your way through beautiful sheer sided canyons.

Our passion has developed as an exploration sport with similar techniques to caving and climbing. The beauty is to explore hidden canyons using precise skills and techniques.
