**What is Canyoneering?**
Canyoneering is an adventure sport that combines hiking, wading, swimming, jumping, sliding, boulder-hopping, scrambling, down-climbing, sometimes packrafting and always rappelling — often over waterfalls! Physically, it takes significantly less upper body strength than rock climbing and is therefore a sport that can be enjoyed by a much larger spectrum of the population - young or mature, tall or short, large or small. If you can hike, you can canyoneer! Our basic course gets you from "That looks cool!" to "Woohoo!" in 3 days! Check out these Vimeos and see why we are hooked on the sport!
