What Can I Expect
Go, go, go canyoning in the Brecon Beacons! We are offering half and full-day canyoning sessions with expert guides in this lovely corner of Powys in South Wales. Get your wetsuits on and get ready to get wet!
If you've never been canyoning before, you might be wondering what it is exactly? Well, it's following on foot the course of the river bed as it winds through a gorge. You'll be tackling natural obstacles as you go, including rock water slides (the best fun!) and jumps (go higher if you dare!) as you scramble and climb along.
The best thing about canyoning in this hilly area of the Brecon Beacons is the fact that there are routes with many variations. For example, at one point you might be jumping into a rock pool. Your guide will give you options. You could jump the 1m hop, or go big and do a 5m drop. Or you could miss that bit out altogether.
The instructors know this whole area really well, so they will guide you confidently and safely. The idea is to have fun and take a dare if you want to, but not to push yourself so far out of your comfort zone that it isn't enjoyable anymore. Having said that, if you do ‘go for it', you will feel amazing when you conquer that jump or slide!
All the gear you need to canyon in these famous Welsh hills is provided for you; namely a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet. Bring some swim gear, old trainers and yourself and you're ready to go!
Oh and just a word about the weather. If you get hit with a spot of Welsh rain, your experience will still go ahead, as you'll be getting wet anyway - and you're in a wetsuit! Book your half or full-day session canyoning in the Brecon Beacons and scramble, climb, swim and slide your way down the river!
