Fantastic Experience and wonderful and safe team. Well managed - See my Google review. All I can say was Rafa and out guide (Alberto/Toby) were fantastic. Got picked up from the Repsol near Neptune. Had the MOST AMAZING TIME. We did the family Canyoning and took us 5hrs. Even out 9 year old loved it. The team were well organised, respectful and safe. Being Muslims, wife wondered if suitable for her, but she loved it too. Was going to do white water rafting but I guess due to global warming the water levels were too low. A fantastic day out and I'll do it again next time. They also take pictures (Your own GoPro would be good though) and if needed videos during the trip.. and guess what u like the Turkish it's all sent to you free of charge..no need to haggle and baggle for 6 hrs and then walk away as they wanted £50 or something ridiculous!

Amazing experience - We booked this as a family of three, two adults and one teenager. We all had an amazing time and it was the highlight of our time in Spain. Our guide Rafa was excellent, both fun and engaging whilst also making sure we knew what we we're doing at all times - I also liked his local knowledge of the flora and fauna, I'd not seen juniper berries in the wild before! We all had a great time and I would highly recommend this trip.

Great tour! We recommend! - We had two very fun, helpful tour guides (Jorge and Irena) and the canyon was beautiful! Such a unique experience that we’ve never done and never seen offered anywhere else. Would highly recommend to anyone! I will say, the bus does not have AC and water was not provided. Not a deal breaker but I definitely think that should not be mislabeled in the description. Also, the tour was listed has 4 hours but didn’t include the ~3 hr drive from Granada in that timeline— I would definitely make sure that is listed so people have a better understanding of expectations! Again, would recommend to anyone (who is fit enough) and we loved it so much! Also, so great that the tour includes digital pictures from the day — love it!

Great experience. Awesome guide! - We went with Jorge to the Rio Verde. It was our first time real Canyoning and we had a great time! First we did a small walk 20min along the river, then we put all our gear on (included) and started the canyoning. He could explain it in spanish and english aswell which was very nice. We felt very at ease and safe. We did slides, jumps, rappels and more. We conquered our fears without even knowing it. Amazing experience if you like nature. Very beautiful enviroment. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. total time aprox.: 4.5 hours

Great time, great guide! - We had a ton of fun - the route was nice, had rappelling, a couple of big slides and of course jumps. We had an awesome guide. He was patient and good with kids. The guides gave you jump options and even if a kid was too nervous an option to walk around. Good for families as well as couples, solos. Our family went with a group of 20 something year olds and we really just did it in two groups at two paces. Three things for a family to know - on our route there is a hike in, you should ask about bringing your own water (and if the guide can carry it) - the activity was about 3 hours long and though you are not hot in the water you could be dehydrated (again hiking in), Definitely have plenty of water in your car or their van for when you get back, and the ride in is very bumpy- to the meeting point and then down to the canyon. If your family is prone to motion sickness take medicine before they pick you up - you may need it! Thanks so much for a great day out in the canyon!!!

Thrilling fun!! - We had an incredible day canyoning Rio Verde. Our guide didn’t speak much English which made a few things difficult for us but we enjoyed the experience more as it kept us guessing 🤣 he still communicated well with jokes and laughter despite this. He had a good sense of humour and looked after us well. We felt safe the whole time. You do have to have a suitable level of fitness.. It’s about a 45 minute trek up the mountain with steep hills - recommend making sure you’re in hiking type trainers as some areas can be slippery and make sure you take your own water- you can refill it at the natural spring.. lovely! Lots of rock jumping!
