Canyoning Excursion around the Tsoutsouros Gorge from Heraklion

This incredible canyoning excursion at Tsoutsouros Gorge guarantees pure adventure and lots of fun for everyone who participates! This beautiful and technical canyon located in southern Crete, near the Municipality of Viannos, is suitable for beginners and children (older than 12yo). The abseils are initially short and easy, ideal for getting used to the techniques and the use of the equipment. Gradually, however, they become longer and steeper until you reach a 32-meter drop.

On the day of your canyoning excursion around the Tsoutsouros Gorge from Heraklion, you'll be picked up at your accommodations in or near Heraklion (check special terms for available locations), and meet your expert driver and guide for the day. You'll take a scenic, approximately 1-hour drive toward the Tsoutsouros Gorge, and once you get there, you'll gear up with a harness, helmet, waterproof backpack, and anything else your instructor deems necessary for your safety.

Once you're all geared up, it's time to go! You will take a short hike from the parking lot to reach the entrance to the canyon at the position of Sfakias. Next, you'll start the challenging, but incredibly fun descent and be mind-blown by the fantastic view of the constantly changing terrain and the turquoise blue sea. Depending on the weather conditions, you may find water in the gorge until the beginning of summer, which will give you the amazing chance of abseiling through spectacular waterfalls. Finally, the exit of the gorge is at the south coast of Crete, at Tsoutsouros village.

Don't forget to bring a swimsuit, comfortable sports clothing adapted to the weather, good sports shoes or low trekking shoes, lots of sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and of course, your camera, as well as anything else you might need (medication, snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing 5 to 6 hours canyoning down the Tsoutsoutos Gorge! Keep in mind that the whole activity will last around 8 hours, so you should reserve the full day to avoid scheduling issues.

Take your chance to observe some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Crete, accompanied by an expert instructor who will make sure that you are safe and having fun at all times. Book your canyoning excursion around the Tsoutsouros Gorge from Heraklion today!
