Overview
Start your beginner’s canyoning adventure with pickup from either of Interlaken's train stations, or from your accommodation in Interlaken or one of seven local municipalities. You’re transferred to the canyoning base to meet your guide and gather your safety gear, including a wetsuit to keep you warm against the chill of the mountain water.
Enjoy the 10-minute drive to the outskirts of Wilderswil along a scenic route beneath the Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger mountain peaks of the Swiss Alps. On arrival, it’s a short walk up the hill to the canyon entrance where you’ll snap on your helmet, harness and life jacket and receive a safety briefing. Put techniques you’ve learned into practice as you go abseiling (rappelling) 33 feet into the canyon and plunge into the water below.
Clamber up and leap off 20-foot (6-meter) rock ledges into surging white-water pools and slide through a series of chutes into plunge pools. Continue downstream to the final slide in the second canyon, and float along at your leisure while the water carries you down a natural channel, over a series of drops and into a deep pool of tranquil water below. Rest assured that your guides are on hand throughout the adventure to ensure your safety.
At the end of your canyoning run, take a short walk back to the bus for the return drive to the base, where you can purchase a copy of your filmed trip through the canyons. Enjoy a shower and a refreshing hot drink before drop-off at your accommodation or train station in Interlaken, where your 3.5-hour tour concludes.

We had a great time and the guides were lovely and very helpful. Not mentioned in the description was our favourite part, a rope swing!
Waste of time and over priced for the level of adventure.

We booked a 10 am tour early that day in the morning because we thought it was going to rain. I had read that it could be cancelled up to the start of the tour when I had looked to book the day before. I didn’t realize that each website had different rules of cancelling when I booked it the following am so I called to cancel up to the time of the tour. Once we realized that it would be sunny and not a downpour, we had our hopes on different activities closer to where we were staying. When I called to cancel once their office opened, they said it was actually not refundable. Weird. I found it was on a third party booking site for their tour that said you could. They would not honor the third party booking site. We decided to go and make the best of it since we just paid over 300 CHF for my son and I to go. We made a conscious effort to go with a good attitude to try it out. My son had never done it before so he was good with trying it. From the minute we got there, the staff acted like we weren’t there. They asked everyone where they were from, except us. There was a weird vibe either because they are socially awkward or they had talked about us wanting to cancel. Trying not to write a story, we just smiled and made friends with the other guests who were really cool. Besides the two guides being weird, the tour was the softest and easiest walk through the water. I went back in the 90s before the flash flood that killed 14 people in the same canyon and I remembered it being more adventurous. They have made it very basic now. So they got our money and several hours of our trip. Hands down the biggest waste of money. Spend your money on paragliding or something that is actually adventurous. Or find a company that does adventurous canyoning. I know it exists.

Great experience, lots of fun, and perfect for all levels. They provide all the equipment so it was easy to do as a long distance traveler without a lot of stuff (just needed a swimsuit). Our guide Stan was very friendly and helpful!
