Spain · CANYONING AND VÍA FERRATA
17 tours
These are the 15 canyoning and vía ferrata routes in Spain we would put money on. Price first, then how long the day actually runs, then who each one suits. The one at the top is the one Spain books most.

“Our granddaughter had a wonderful time canyoning. Everyone was very friendly and looked after her. She loved the abseiling and jumping from various heights and said that swimming through the canyon was magnificent. Daniel was an excellent guide; the whole even was so well organised. It is definitely something she will be doing again with the rest of the family when they are over next year. Thanks to the whole team for making it a memorable experience.”

Cernícalos canyoning in Gran Canaria: small-group adventure with wetsuit gear, abseils, a picnic, hotel pickup, and photo memories.
“The activity was confirmed, we waited for the pick up in the morning but no one came. We sent messages via viator, via emails, we called several time but no one responded. The activity was supposed to happen 2 days ago but still no message from the company. We selected another activity with viator in a hurry. Do not loose you time with this company, not professional at all.”

“This experience was the highlight of our trip in Tenerife! Our guide Alex was an expertly experienced repeller and very knowledgeable about the canyon and surrounding nature. He did a great job making us feel comfortable as first time repellers and made the experience tons of fun! We even got to try some fun tricks like the spiderman pose you see below!”
Gran Canaria canyoning near Telde with wetsuit and helmet. Aquatic or dry rappels with certified guides in about 4 hours.
“Booked this experience of Canyoning, Aquatic ( 1.5 hours) and hiking (45 minutes)for an adventure we normally wouldn’t do on a holiday. Did this with my two sons, 15 and 18, who have never done anything like this before. Overall, it was by far the most exhilarating experience we have done on our holiday. A great mix of site seeing, fitness, exploring and adrenaline. Our guide, Daniel was incredible in keeping us safe, reassured and paid attention to our individual needs of experience. We didn’t need to take our phones as pictures taken by Daniel were sent to us via WhatsApp. If you have teens who are beginners and enjoy…”
