Amazing day out! Such an adventure in the most beautiful surroundings. Would recommend borrowing canyoning boots from them. All other equipment is provided.

We booked early so were given a meet time of 08:30. Presumably this was an earlier in season time (to reflect daylight hours) because we got a call at 08:10 to ask if we were coming. Meet time was 08:00. A panicked departure meant we forgot water and waterproof bags for phones. If you book well in advance it's worth double checking time! Our guides Javier and Horhay could not have been more polite, knowledgeable and cheerful. Being a bit older (58 and 53) we did find the experience quite challenging. Be prepared for a rocky, steep path to the start. Also you will get a few bruises as river very rocky and we found negotiating the rocks at different depths led to many stumbles. For me, abseiling and jumps into the river were the highlight. We slept well! Thank you J and H for taking care of us oldies!

“What a great experience! It was everything we had hoped for and more! I cannot stress enough how highly we recommend this trip. If you are outdoorsy and are up for a great adventure, then you should choose this! RENT THE SHOES!! David just started offering shoe rentals for this trip and they are a game changer! You don’t have to get your tennis shoes soaking wet, and they are high quality and grip the slippery rocks really well.”

The guides were amazing, especially with my kids. Made them feel safe and secure, while keeping the sense of adventure hight. Alex "The Machine" really came out of his shell on this. Can't thank them enough

We had the best day out! Probably one of the best we’ve ever done as a family. We were looked after and everything from booking to meeting point, snacks and drinks and the actual experience were even better than we could have asked for. We will definitely come back and do another tour and would highly recommend. Lovely bonus having photos sent to us after.

This was one of the most enjoyable vacation activities I’ve ever done. The physical beauty alone is stunning and magical. The canyoning is challenging and incredibly unique. David is an awesome guide in every way that a guide should be: positive, fun, safe, knowledgeable, encouraging, and speaks four languages. Absolutely recommend, you won’t regret it.

Best guide out there. Great humour and explained everything. At start we hiked for starting point, but it wasnt that far. When we arrived our guide gave us energy bar. Positive energy, without traumas because guide knew what he was doing. Recommended to try for yourself.

As a family of 4, with an 11yr and 12yr, Mum with dodgy hips and who really doesn't do heights and a Dad who does, it was always going to be an interesting day out!!

We arrived at the arranged meeting point that had ample parking and was very easy for us to find. There we were met by the extremely friendly David and after introductions to others in the group, we were given a concise safety briefing, before we piled into his mini-bus that took us deep into the mountain-side to start the experience. I say that as it is an experience and what an experience it was!!

After being given our wetsuits/harness and shown an ingenious way of carrying them (deffo using that one again!), we began our hike to the start of the canyoning following the stunning crytal-clear waters of the Rio Verde. The hike itself was great with some scrambling over and around rocks and ledges (indication of what's to come) with David giving lots of information along the way about the native plants, and even getting us to sample the edible ones.

I could go into lots of detail, however for the sake of discovering for yourselves, all I'm going to say is this; there were points were I, (Mum) was quaking in my boots due to some of the challenges but with David's encouragement, professionalism and always attention to safety I pushed myself further than I ever would have wanted and achieved more than I thought I could. There were times when I couldn't watch the kids as they disappeared out of view over a cliff whilst listening to their screams of delight, swiftly followed by their Dad and a slightly bigger splash!

It's not all extreme, so don't be put off! In between the adreneline were moments of pure bliss; just floating down the river whilst looking up at the surrounding mountains.

David is an excellent guide and you will make unique memories that will last a lifetime!
