What is Canyoning?
There is no experience quite like canyoning in the Lake District. Honister’s canyoning adventure offers a chance to explore nature’s own waterpark. Conveniently situated just 15 minutes from our base at Honister Slate Mine, a canyoning trip is the perfect way to experience the breathtaking natural structures that make up this picturesque, historic location.
During your extreme canyoning experience, you will be led by a team of experienced guides, who are there to assist you as you journey through waterfalls and abseil down rock faces. Book today to embark upon an unforgettable canyoning adventure!
Please note that each session takes around 4 hours and will commence at either 09:30 am or 13:30 pm.
Sessions are for groups of up to 6. Please enquire for larger groups or private sessions.
