Updated last week
Topics
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.
