    "After a somewhat tedious search for the right starting point – the Mercedes navigation system was overwhelmed – we received a friendly welcome, changed into the right gear, met a nice and competent guide, and then enjoyed loads of fun and adventure at the expected level. We were a family with two teenagers, ages 12 and 14 – the kids gave this event a 10 out of 10. In hot weather, bring something to drink – you can put it in your wetsuit or give it to the guide. * ..."Andre · July 2026

    "We had a great afternoon in the canyon yesterday. It was a great place for canyoning with slides, jumps, abseiling and small passages under stone. Lots of fun challenges, the kids loved it! The last few were a bit too challenging for them though (8 and 10 yrs) but they could do most. Mind that it is cold water and the youngest might get quite cold and tired towards the end. The guide couldn't speak any English at all really but it worked out ok anyway. They were nice and friendly. Mind the parking though, we had to park 3km away with our motorhome and roll down the hill with our bikes. "Lena · July 2026
