Canyoning

Canyoning Half Day

Canyoning at the Allt Na H Uamha The Allt Na h Uamha – Gaelic (Burn of the big cave) is located near Loch Laggan between Newtonmore and Fort William. In fact, this is one of Scotland’s classic Canyoning descent for adrenaline seekers! This, is one of

A typical Itinerary would be to meet your instructor at the venue for the morning or afternoon session at either 10:00 or 13:00 depending. You will then kit up and spend the next couple of hours in the stunning canyon jumping, sliding and travelling down flumes before culminating in the abseil down to a ledge behind the waterfall followed by a jump through it.

You will most certainly get wet! As a matter of fact, our venues have jumps ranging from just a few feet for the less adventurous all the way to jumps 20ft and above for the incredibly brave! In short, one of the most amazing adventures of your life is to canyon in Scotland! Guided by our expert instructors, you will have a thrilling adventure.

The venue we use for our canyoning sessions has been carved & eroded from the Scottish rock over millions of years and is just a short drive from Aviemore. Ultimately, the erosion has formed natural slides & chutes, jumps up to 20ft, abseils and natural rock features to negotiate – This is a challenging experience providing a truly adventurous day out in Scotland.

We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your Canyoning Adventure:

  • Something to go underneath a wetsuit – swimwear or a spare pair of underwear. (We do provide swimshorts to wear over the top of the wetsuit for greater style and modesty.)
  • Travel insurance. (We are insured for all our trips, but we recommend everyone has their own travel insurance as well.)
  • Transportation to the venue. (We may be able to help with this though – if you need transportation please drop us an enquiry and we can see what we can do to help.)
  • Lunch, water.
  • Personal medication
  • Sun cream, midge net

Here at Highland Outdoor Adventures, we pride ourselves on providing as much as we can but you are welcome to bring your own equipment if you do prefer. The list below is what we provide you with on the day of your Canyoning Adventure.

  • Buoyancy aids.
  • Wetsuits
  • Helmets.
  • Neoprene wetsuit boots.
  • Swimshorts to go over the top of wetsuits.
  • All instruction.

If the weather is good we will have a DSLR professional camera and maybe even a drone, so we can take photos and videos of your adventure and you can look back at the day for years to come. If the weather is less favourable we will bring a GoPro (as it is waterproof) so we will still be able to take photos for you.
