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.

Head Protection

You’re going to be doing a lot of jumping off ledges into rivers and climbing up rocks, so its a good idea to have a hardhat on.

Spare Clothes

If you’re going canyoning, you’re going to get tremendously wet and muddy. Its best if you can bring a spare pair of shoes as well as a change of clothes.

Here are 3 of the most popular spots for abseiling the world has to offer.

Table Mountain: Cape Town, South Africa

The Lost World: Waitomo, New Zealand

Snowdonia is famous for being the tallest mountain range in Britain. So it might be surprising to learn that the best abseiling spots are not on the mountains, but under them. The adventure company Go Below leads guided tours 1,300 ft. below the mountains in an old mining complex.

The West Coast Trail, Vancouver Island

Located off the southwest coast of Canada, Vancouver Island is well known for the West Coast Trail. This is a 46-mile hiking adventure that will have you rambling along ancient paths, steep slopes, and rugged trails. You will need to be prepared to climb many steep rickety wooden ladders, so if heights aren’t you’re thing this could be difficult.

The Maze Overlook Trail, Canyonlands National Park

This trail in southeast Utah is an extremely challenging trail. Hikers will have to navigate their way around mazes of burning orange tunnels, smooth rock faces, and tight crevices. Not only is the trail intensely difficult, but the temperature can often rise above 38c and there are no water sources. It’s certainly not for the faint-hearted!

Mount Huashan, China

This trail dangles hikers 600m from the ground along flimsy-looking wooden paths bolted on to the side of a cliff. If heights aren’t your thing, this one is probably not for you.
