Amazing experience - Mike was brilliant today for our canyoning trip. My son was a bit nervous and Mike was fab, very calm and encouraging and explained what we needed to so. River was spectacular and parking easy to find. Mike was very experienced and kept us safe. Equipment immaculate.

Unforgettable Birthday Canyoning Adventure⛰️ - Unforgettable Birthday Canyoning Adventure! ⭐ ⭐️⭐️ This canyoning experience was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Mike was professional, fun, and made sure my self and partner felt safe and confident. The jumps and slides were a total thrill, but there were always easier options for me too! It was the perfect mix of adrenaline and natural beauty. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable outdoor adventure!

One of the Highlights of our Trip - This experience was so much fun! We've never abseiled before, and Mike was very good at teaching the proper ways to do everything. The guides were very friendly and safe. We will be looking to do another adventure with this company next time we're in Scotland!

First time canyoning - We went canyoning this morning and have just got back. I wouldn't usually bother writing a review but we had such a brilliant time that I feel it's only fair! I booked the trip for my partner's birthday and it was very much more his type of thing than mine and I arrived incredibly nervous. Right from the start Mike was friendly, helpful and super patient with us all (me especially, as the official wuss of the group), as well as being so enthusiastic it was infectious! The experience was daunting but there were different levels for things like the jumps and there was never any pressure to do anything we didn't feel comfortable with. He even had KitKats for half way round when the shivering kicked in. After getting over the initial terror, it was absolutely brilliant and we both really enjoyed it. It's definitely worth doing of you're in the area!

Fabulous family day out - Spent the day canyoning with Mike as our guide and what a blast we had. We’re a family of 4 and our youngest is 11 so, despite the day having the potential to be a bit of a daunting experience Mike put us all at ease and we managed every jump, slide and abseil. An absolute must do experience if you are in the area and something you’ll never forget. Special thanks to Mike who even supplied a warm drink and a cake!

Morning canyoning with Mike - What a fantastic morning. Mike was a fantastic guide, good safety briefing, very patient and extremely good crack. Even a chocolate treat halfway. Can't praise him enough. This is such a fun way to spend a morning, good fun, jumping, abseiling and sliding around like a big kid. Highly recommended and we will definitely be doing this again.

30th Birthday - We had a brilliant time today out canyoning with Mike. Super friendly guy and extremely confident in what he does. Gave us a detailed safety briefing before we ventured out in some typical Scottish weather. We had a great time jumping, climbing, abseiling and falling with grace. The little chocolate treat half way through was a very kind pick me up and Mike took tonnes of photos for us to remember our trip. Would recommend this to everyone, worth every penny David
