Really fun - definitely give it a try. - Today, on my last day on the island, I did Canyoning Level 1. It's a shame that I'm leaving, because I'd like to do the other levels straight away. Transport was good, the guides were cool, the experience was simply amazing! I can only recommend it to anyone who enjoys exercise, climbing, and smaller challenges. The beginner level is easy for anyone with a normal physical condition - and when else can you walk along a river through such breathtaking nature?! By the way, it's definitely worth renting the shoes from the provider, it costs €5, but you'll be grateful if you have them!
