Into The Blue

Canyon scrambling has really taken off in recent years. The appeal lies in its unique combination of climbing, abseiling and swimming, an adrenalin-soaked way to explore Scotland’s great natural scenery.

Whether you are already an addict or a newbie whose knowledge of scrambling has been limited to preparing the eggs on Sunday morning, today’s Big Deal from Into The Blue offers a great chance for some hands on experience, with expert guidance and all the equipment you need. Let’s head for the hills. OK, the canyons.

Canyoning thrills

Your canyoning experience takes place in the Keltneyburn Canyon close to Aberfeldy. It’s the ideal location for introductory canyoning sessions, as it combines steep wooded gorges with the more gentle meadowland preferred by walkers. This scenic haven offers a range of river swims, rock jumping and water chutes that provide a fun challenge for all.

The Big Deal offers an Into The Blue Canyon Scrambling experience of around three hours, in a morning or afternoon session. The deal includes a welcome and full safety briefing. The experience is in small groups of eight participants with an instructor. All equipment is provided.

What to expect

You don’t have to be a skilled climber to enjoy canyoning. This activity is more about excitement and enjoying the beauty of the natural environment, Instructors vary the itinerary based on your ability and enthusiasm, offering the chance to take on jumps from various heights and scrambles down natural rock formations, mixed in with some invigorating swimming through white water pools.

The adventure begins with registration and a welcome from your instructors. You’ll be provided with all the equipment you need to tackle the canyons, including a wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid. A few scratches and bruises are to be expected, but this canyoning activity in the heart of Scotland is designed to be as safe and enjoyable as possible.

Your fully qualified coaches will host a briefing outlining the route and explaining the techniques that you’ll be using to negotiate the natural obstacles on the journey ahead.
