“This was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. I went with my 18yo daughter but their were 15 of us in the group. The instructors spoke brilliant English and explained everything in both English and German. Everyone was so friendly. The hardest part was walking up the path to the start of the canyoning in a wetsuit. It’s about a 20min walk and I’m not the fittest. Some of the jumps/drops in to rock pools required some internal Pep talks but that was also part of the fun challenge. Will definitely do it again.”
