Real adventure for people with good fitness and water skills or a big positive attitude.

Description

Canyoning is a journey unlike any other. Get in touch the natural world. From the raw power of waterfalls to the tranquility of deep, forested pools, from sculptural rockscapes to glowing green moss droplets, you will be immersed in a world you never knew existed.

Challenge yourself in ways you’ve never imagined. Plunge down water polished chutes and abseil down waterfalls. Jump off cliffs! Climb, swim and float through an amazing world of water – sculptured rock, deep clear pools and spectacular waterfalls.

Leaping Burn is a physically magnificent canyon carved deep into mother earth. At times you can’t see the sky, at others you’re a fly on the wall. The jumps need commitment. You’ll get hammered in waterfalls. You’ll be blown away – no doubt! No-one else guides stuff like this.
