  • About

    Rediscover your sense of adventure - and what it's like to be soaked to the skin! Canyoning is a truly all-round adventure experience, following a natural water course through a precipitous canyon. To start off with you'll have a safety briefing with your instructor and get kitted out with the right equipment. Then after a short walk to the top of the beautiful Allt' a Bhealaich Gorge, you'll follow the natural water course down through the gorge, descending waterfalls, sliding down natural water flumes, scrambling down gorges and jumping into deep, clear rock pools. In some sections you'll use harnesses and ropes to get down, all safely controlled by your instructor. This is a challenging, exciting and very physical experience and you might get a few bumps along the way, but there's a path running along the length of the canyon, so no part of the descent is compulsory - you can always take the path instead.

    • Follow a natural water course down a beautiful Scottish gorge
    • Descend waterfalls, slide down water flumes and throw yourself into rock pools
    • Scramble down some sections using ropes and harnesses
    • All equipment included - just bring your sense of adventure

    A Truly Exhilarating Experience!

    You certainly know you are alive when you plunge into the first rock pool and it doesn't stop there! The scenery is breathtaking and abseiling down a waterfall is truly an unforgettable moment. A really well thought out course and the most exciting thing I've done in a long time!

    Exhilarating And Breathtaking!

    On a blistering hot day in May my partner and I took part in the canyoning. It was fantastic. After a very hot climb to the top of the canyon I was first in line at the first plunge pool. The chance to jump of rocks, slide down stoney river and abseil down a fast flowing waterfall was something I will never forget and I am very keen to have another go!

    Absolutely Fantastic

    We had a fabulous time. The instructor was great and the water course was exhilarating. We went at our own pace but with lots of encouragement. We loved the plunge pools and the abseiling down the waterfall, but the best thing was the natural water slides. Can't wait to do it again!

    A Really Great Experience!

    I went on this canyoning trip with my boyfriend, we were nervous arriving at the meeting point as we were unsure about what to expect. When we arrived we were one of the first there, the staff were really friendly and made us feel at ease, they made jokes to relax the atmosphere and explained everything very clearly. They ensured everyone was aware of safety procedures and correctly dressed before setting off. The experience was amazing, although the water felt like ice! It was very exciting and gave a great adrenaline rush, jumping into rock pools, sliding and abseiling down waterfalls was an experience we'll never forget. The scenery was beautiful and we were in a lovely environment. We are already looking into booking up for this experience again and similar activities. Thank you all for a great day.

    Spot On - Incredible Experience!

    Freezing cold but an absolutely fantastic, once in a lifetime experience! Just what we hoped it to be. The instruction was great, the equipment provided was spot on and the canyon was amazing! It was a tricky course in places (the two younger children in our group found parts daunting - big reaches, high jumps etc) but our instructor was patient and encouraging and made it so much fun. If you're up for a challenge, this is what to do!
