Question 2

What is the difference between Canyoning and Canyoneering?

Accepted Answer

Same sport, different name! “Canyoning” is used internationally, while “canyoneering” is more common in the U.S. Both involve the same techniques, and the same fun.

Question 3

What is the difference between Canyoning and Rock Climbing?

Accepted Answer

Canyoning focuses on descending wet, often narrow canyons, usually involving water. Rock climbing is about ascending dry rock faces. The gear and techniques overlap, but canyoning requires its own safety systems and equipment suited to aquatic terrain.

Question 4

Why is the West Coast great for canyoning?

Accepted Answer

British Columbia has everything—lush forests, mountain streams, dramatic waterfalls, and hidden canyons. With its unique and diverse natural landscapes, favorable climate, and abundance of canyoning opportunities, British Columbia is poised to become the world’s next top destination for canyoning enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner looking for a new challenge, the West Coast of British Columbia offers an unparalleled canyoning experience that is sure to leave you breathless and in awe of the natural beauty around you.

Question 5

When is the canyoning season?

Accepted Answer

Our season runs from mid-June to mid-October. Snowmelt in early summer brings higher water flows and more excitement. Weather can affect the season, so check with us for current conditions.

Question 6

Does canyoning negatively impact ecosystems in rivers/waterways?

Accepted Answer

Like any outdoor activity, canyoning can affect ecosystems—but we actively minimize our footprint through thoughtful practices:

Leave No Trace: 
We use eco-friendly gear, clean our equipment between trips, and always pack out waste (over 150 lbs collected to date!).

Sensitive Species Protection:
o    Coastal Tailed Frog: We plan routes to avoid key habitats.
o    Salmon Spawning: We strictly avoid spawning areas during critical seasons.

Conservation Partnerships:
We’ve rerouted tours to protect Black Swift colonies in partnership with Birds Canada.

Adventure and conservation can—and must—go hand in hand.
