Join us in beautiful Perthshire as we explore some of the most iconic canyons in Scotland. The Discover Canyon Tour will be based around Highland Perthshire in the heart of Big Tree Country.
On this two day tour you will experience some of the most beautiful canyons Scotland has to offer including the mighty Bruar Canyon and the stunning Acharn Canyon. You will be accompanied by two highly skilled canyoning instructors who are experts in canyoning and the local area.
We have spent years canyoning both recreationally and professionally all over the world but we always find ourselves returning to Scotland. Our experience and knowledge of Scotland's canyons is unmatched and we want to share our passion and this amazing experience with you.
We don't strive to be the biggest but we are passionate about being the best. We will offer you the best equipment and the most experienced and qualified guides in Scotland. Our knowledge of the local area means we can take you to the best places to grab a bite to eat, or after a day in the canyons we know some of the best Scottish pubs for a cold beer or a wee dram of whisky.
Our mission is to share our passion, along the way you will learn more canyoning skills and refine the ones you already have to become a competent team member. Learn how to abseil yourself safely, lock off, manage equipment, inspect jumps and work as a team.
This tour is designed for anyone who would like to explore more about canyoning. It's aimed at Beginner to Intermediate level. As with all our tours and experiences we require a basic level of fitness.
