When you go canyoning through the dark and hidden recesses of the world, it is important that you have the right items. Canyoning is hiking, abseiling, swimming, free jumping, and climbing through the world’s canyons. If you’re not sufficiently prepared, you could be in for a bad time.

Here are 5 essential items that you need to go canyoning.

Trainers

The first thing you need is a good strong pair of trainers. It is important that you have light footwear that also has a good grip. The best trainers will also be water-resistant and quick drying.

Swimwear and Wetsuits

You will need to have a wetsuit as you are most probably going to get wet. Even if you are supplied with a wetsuit, it is a good idea to also wear a bathing suit underneath, especially if you are canyoning somewhere cold.
