BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
You will be in cold water for hours
Wetsuit thickness is the difference between a good day and shivering through the last three drops. Ask what is provided and how it fits.
Jumps are optional, the descent is not
Every jump has a walk-around or an abseil beside it. Once you are in the canyon, though, the only way out is down it.
Water levels decide the route
A canyon that is a walk in October is unrunnable after rain. Operators cancel for flow, and that call is not negotiable.
Tell them if you cannot swim
Most canyons need only floating in a buoyancy aid, but the guide has to know before the first pool, not at it.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.

Bernese Oberland was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Good value for what's included.

Bernese Oberland was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. No hesitation recommending them.

Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Bernese Oberland was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. No hesitation recommending them.

Questions people ask

Around eight degrees, glacier-fed, whatever the air temperature is doing. You wear a 5mm wetsuit with hood and the guides watch for people going quiet — that is what cold looks like before shivering starts.
