What you get from us:

  • Wetsuit (two-piece): Pants and jacket, 5 mm neoprene. Keeps you warm and protects against rock scratches.
  • Neoprene socks: Against cold feet.
  • Canyoning harness: Made for abseiling in water.
  • Helmet: This is mandatory. It protects against impacts or falling rocks.
  • Canyoning shoes: Non-slip boots with good grip.
  • Life vest: For water-rich gorges, extra buoyancy.

You need to bring yourself:

  • Swimwear: Worn under wetsuit.
  • Towel: To dry off after.
  • Functional underwear or fleece (optional): Thin layer for those who get cold easily.
  • Hair tie: Long hair must be tied.
  • Eyewear strap or contact lenses: Prevent loss.
  • No valuables: Jewelry, watches, phones, money stay in car or base.

Camera rules:

  • Personal cameras not allowed.
  • Both hands needed: Abseiling, holding, jumping.
  • Focus required: On route, water, next step – not screen.
  • Risk of injury: Cameras distract, interfere, and get lost. This is a risk to yourself, other guests and guides.

Do not worry: Many tours have professionals taking photos or filming. You focus on experience, while our guides still get good images.
