Canyoning is a sport that is booming a little bit everywhere around the world. It begins with a short hike to the upper mouth of a canyon to then descend into the creek bed while passing obstacles we find on our way. In this adventure you will rappel down hiden waterfalls, shoot down natural slides and jump into deep pools. Okanagan Canyoning tours are offered by Western Canyoning Adventure that has been operating for 5 years in the Rockies. The mix of the knowledge of our local guides and the expertise of an already well established structure is allowing us to bring you in to those magical places that are canyons in the Kelowna area. No need for previous experience to come on a trip with us. Our fully certified guides are here to teach you everything you need to know and provide all the specific gear.
