This is a lovely, fun trip in a beautifully carved canyon. With 10 abseils, a couple of small jumps, a short slide and some interesting gorge scrambling, you’ll pass through some open and enclosed sections.The biggest waterfall is 15m, making it a very friendly canyon and a great first trip.
Due to the nature of the environment, a descent can take between 4-7 hours, although there are several escape options, should you decide you’ve had enough.
Please be aware that this is a remote and rarely visited canyon, which can make it very slippery, especially if it hasn’t been scrubbed clean by some recent flooding.
A classic mountain adventure, descending the flanks of Wales’ highest mountain Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). Luckily the canyon doesn’t start at the top of the mountain and there is only a 30 minute walk to get to the start of the canyon.
This is becoming a popular trip with rock climbers and mountaineers.
Due to the nature of the environment, a descent can take between 4-7 hours, although there are several escape options, should you decide you’ve had enough.
Please be aware that this is a remote and rarely visited canyon which can make it very slippery, especially during wetter periods.
Serious fun.
These trips host the biggest abseils and jumps, taking you into the more remote locations. Exceptional and impressive trips for those up to the challenge.
This isn’t a beginner trip; you must be comfortable on a rope, in water and scrambling.

Our Ultimate Alpine Canyon, without the alpine approach.
This is a serious and thrilling canyon with big jumps and big abseils. You will be dropped in the deep end with this trip so it is best to have some experience canyoning or coasteering before, some of the biggest features are near the start. This is also a technical canyon and perfect for learning some advanced canyoning skills.
This is a ¾ day activity. For an extended day you can combine this with Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking or an evening/ sunset Coasteering session.
Ultimate Extreme Canyon.
This is an extended version of our Alternative Extreme Canyon/ Extreme Gorge. To truly get the most out of this venue you need more than a half day. This is our company owner’s personal favourite; big jumps, exciting slides, thrilling ziplines and a few abseils. Like Ultimate Alpine Canyon this is a technical canyon, so perfect for those that want to learn a few of those advanced canyoning skills.
This is a full day activity. For an extended day you can combine this with Mountain Biking or an evening/ sunset Coasteering session.
The best 3 canyons in North Wales all in one day.
A day you will never forget.
For this day to really work and be enjoyable you need to have a very high level of fitness, have abseiled before and be very comfortable on a rope, moving across boulder fields, and be a confident swimmer. It’s not for everyone, lots of people will enjoy this far more as 3 separate trips.
Booking info

Our meeting times are flexible, we may recommend a meeting time to suit the activity, or you may request a meeting time.

All our cameras come with screen protection/ housing cases to protect the camera and are treated with RainX to avoid droplets in front of the lens.

Regardless of whether you add this option we always aim to take photos on all our trips to send you following the activity.
- keyboard_arrow_downkeyboard_arrow_upHire a Luxury Changing Robe
Struggling using a normal towel to cover up whilst getting changed?
Our Luxury Changing Robes solve this problem, wearing one like a poncho makes changing so much easier. This isn’t essential, but these items have become increasingly popular in the last couple of years for a good reason. Like almost all providers we get changed and ready for the activity near to where the activity starts, and changed again near our vehicles after the activity.
We’ve chosen thick microfibre robes that are very cosy, to help keep you warm and dry you faster after adventures. These are usually made up of a 80% Polyester - 20% Polyamide mix, which is super absorbent and quick drying. Machine washable at 30 degrees.
Both sizes of robes are an XL width (85-95cm) which gives most people the ability to get changed easily and comfortably inside.
Our Medium Robe is 108cm in length and designed for people upto the height of 5ft 11inches/ 180cm. Our Tall is 118cm in length and designed for those over the height of 5ft 10inches/ 175cm. Sadly we don’t offer smaller sizes for children yet, but they are more than welcome to hire a Medium robe.
- £5 to hire Luxury Changing Robe sizes Medium/Tall
- £30 to hire and keep new Luxury Changing Robe siize Medium
- £35 to hire and keep new Luxury Changing Robe size Tall
Colours available: Black/Blue/Red
- keyboard_arrow_downkeyboard_arrow_upLunches and Drinks
On all full day/ extended day bookings it is essential that you bring lunch and a drink with you. For full day single activities we recommend light lunches with big breakfasts and evening meals either side of the day's activity.
You don’t want to be caught out on an energy low, but neither do you want a very filling meal requiring a long digesting time. For multi-activities you may want a slightly longer lunch break between the two activities where you can feast and digest it before starting the next one.
A hot drink in a flask is also recommended for all but the warmest days, we can provide this if requested, with hot squash, chocolate, tea, coffee.
- keyboard_arrow_downkeyboard_arrow_upWeather
All activities we run depend on the weather conditions. A bit of rain/ precipitation is often good as it can make the canyon more sporty, however too much and it can become very dangerous.
Luckily for you, we have a number of different venues we can use which are all of high quality. This allows us to run canyoning sessions in all but the very worst weather conditions. We will inform you as soon as the forecast gives the impression we may need to change venues/ rearrange the activity.
Should this situation occur you will be presented with a choice, to either; change venue location, change activity, rearrange the date, or to cancel the activity and receive a full refund. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately we are at the mercy of the weather Gods.
Sea Level Traversing, Coasteering, or one of our Underground Adventures can all be great alternatives.
Fortunately this isn’t a frequent occurrence.
- keyboard_arrow_downkeyboard_arrow_upSafety information
Your safety is our number one priority and all our instructors are highly experienced and qualified to be able to offer these high quality adventures. They have all worked with lots of different clients from all age groups and abilities, and have been assessed by a number of different technical experts over the years.
Despite this, there is an element of risk to all the activities we do, these are adventure activities after all. For example; our instructors won’t be able to stop you falling over and bashing your knee or other parts of your body. They will, however, teach you how to move in these environments, what to look out for and keep safe near the big drops and wild water.
- keyboard_arrow_downkeyboard_arrow_upRecent injuries/ medical conditions
We would advise anyone unsure whether they can/ should join any of these activities to first check it with your GP, or any relevant health specialist. At any point, you are more than welcome to get in touch about any recent injuries or medical conditions you have to discuss how they might impact the activity.
Before each activity we’ll ask everyone to let us know if they have any recent injuries or medical conditions. It is essential you let our instructor know so should something happen, they’ll be prepared to deal with it quickly and effectively. A quiet 1-1 word would be perfect.
We’d like to be able to include everyone in activities, however it is essential that you can wear our safety equipment comfortably and you are aware of any additional risks the activity may propose. If you broke your ankle 2 weeks ago, then sadly it's probably best if you waited a little longer for it to heal before going on one of our activities.
