Canyoning is an adventure activity that involves travelling through natural gorges and canyons using a combination of walking, climbing, swimming and controlled descents. Routes often follow rivers or waterfalls and may include natural pools, rock slides and abseiling sections.
ActivitySure can cover canyoning when youre taking part abroad. Because the activity takes place in remote, wet and uneven environments, its important to ensure your travel insurance is suitable before you take part.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go canyoning?
Canyoning is popular in destinations with dramatic landscapes and established adventure tourism. Countries such as Spain, New Zealand and Costa Rica are well known for their canyoning routes, where deep gorges, waterfalls and flowing rivers create natural adventure courses. Many experiences are offered as guided excursions, with routes designed for different ability levels.
Travellers often take part as part of an organised activity led by trained instructors.
Here's why canyoning travel insurance matters:
Canyoning combines several physical elements in challenging natural environments. Slippery rock surfaces, strong water flow and sudden drops can increase the risk of injury, particularly if conditions change unexpectedly. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if you need medical treatment or assistance while taking part abroad.
Helpful travel tips
- Do not take part if you feel unwell or unsure about the route.
- Avoid canyoning during heavy rainfall or high water conditions.
- Move cautiously on wet or uneven rock surfaces.
- Wear a helmet and suitable footwear to improve grip and reduce the risk of injury.
- Check harnesses and safety systems as instructed before each descent.
- Always follow the instructions provided by the activity organiser and adhere to any safety recommendations made, including wearing appropriate safety equipment.
