The best way to describe canyoning is whitewater rafting but without the raft. Experienced professional guides, guide you down stunning steep sided gorges by various ways and means. This can involve sliding down rapids, swimming down rapids, floating down fast flowing chutes and waves and of course jumping into those jaw dropping waterfalls.

Shower walking is canyonings little brother. The water is not as fast flowing and the jumps and cutes are much tamer. Shower climbing is good for families with younger children. See article on Shower Walking with Lion Adventure.
