Nettes Erlebnis

Positiv: 1. zwei sehr sehr nette Guides 2. tolle Atmosphäre 3. guter Service 4. gratis Fotos nach der Tour per E-Mail! (kenne ich sonst gar nicht von solchen Outdoor-Aktivitäten) 5. Für Anfänger bestimmt schöne Strecke 6. Gute Ausrüstung 7. Viel klettern und einige Rutschen Negativ: 1. Ein wenig kurz (1-1,5h) 2. Für Fortgeschrittene bzw. Leute mit vorheriger Canyoning-Erfahrung langweilig (kein einziger Sprung, meist nur knie- oder hüfthohes Wasser) 3. Recht teuer (trotz Rabatts), aber das sind alle Canyoning-Anbieter und -Touren

Great first time canyoning!

It was an enjoyable canyoning trip! We went in March and the water was cold, but the wet suits did help. Requires an average level of fitness to get through some steep areas but our guide was helpful throughout!

Loved it!

I had never tried canyoning and this was a great introduction. I will definitely do canyoning again! I was really worried it would be too cold but the wetsuits were good and it was totally fine. Our guide Brig was awesome and had lots of experience in canyoning. Thank you for a great day!

Great adventure

Brig was very experienced, and added with his sense of humour, it made the entire experience fun and light-hearted. No need for any prior experience - the entire thing was very beginner friendly. Just follow the instructions given and the journey would be easy and enjoyable. Also, wetsuits and other gear are all provided (different sizes available), and in decently good condition. Overall a great adventure :)
