About this tour
A 3-hour canyoning adventure in the Scottish Highlands at Bruar Falls, where you'll jump, slide and abseil through a steep canyon with waterfalls and natural rock features. Suited to anyone with moderate fitness who wants technical instruction in a small group — you'll get two certified instructors, full kit, and tuition, with jumps ranging from 2 to 10 metres.
Highlights
- Jumps from 2 to 10 metres, water slides and waterfall abseils
- Small group sizes for more time with instructors
- Two ICOpro-certified, experienced instructors included
- Full 5mm wetsuit, climbing and safety gear provided
- Scenic pine forest and canyon setting in the Scottish Highlands

What to expect
You'll arrive and be fitted with a 5mm wetsuit, harness, helmet and specialised canyoning shoes. Your two instructors will brief you on technique and safety before you enter the canyon. From there, you'll spend 1.5 to 2 hours navigating the watercourse — swimming through pools, jumping into deep water, sliding down natural rock chutes, abseiling down waterfall faces, and moving through narrow passages. The route is relentless but designed so everyone can progress at their own pace with support. You'll finish with snacks and drinks while your instructors review the photos and video they've captured throughout.

Good to know
This suits anyone with moderate fitness who's comfortable in water and wants hands-on technical instruction in a wild setting. You'll need a reasonable level of cardiovascular health — it's continuous movement in cold water. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or poor heart health. Participants over 115kg should contact beforehand. You must provide your t-shirt and shoe sizes before booking. Bring your own swimwear and towel; everything else is supplied. The canyon can be cold even in summer, and the experience involves sustained exertion, so honest fitness assessment matters. Groups are kept small for quality instruction and safety.
