Activity description

Arriving at the entrance of Kourtaliotiko gorge, we are immediately amazed by the majestic walls that stand hundreds of meters high. We take the stone steps that lead us to the source of the river that formed this scenery through the ages. There, we take some time to put on our neoprene suits and our personal gear. The instructors will give a safety briefing so that we can understand the use of our gear and learn to trust it. Now we are ready to get the fun started!

The source of the Kourtaliotiko river becomes a natural playground for us! Feel free to rappel down the steep canyon wall next to the waterfall and try adrenaline jumps in the water as many times as you wish. We swim around, we explore a hidden cave, we take pictures and we play like kids! Our specialized canyoning monitors and guides will be next to you at all times to ensure your safety and guide you through the different activities.

After enjoying the adrenaline thrill of canyoning in the gorge, we hike down the river bed for a short but really fun river trek, playing with the water stream until we reach the perfect spot for our pick nick. Our vehicles are waiting for us just there, to take us back to Rethymno full of beautiful moments!

Super activité, vue sur des endroits magnifiques

L activité est réalisée dans un lieu magnifique avec une équipe très compétente et sympathique. Bon matériel mis à disposition. Il s agit plus de faire quelques rappels les un à côté des autres que de faire une randonnée dans un canyon avec des rappels sur le chemin….

We started by repelling down the rock face into the Gorge and swimming through the waters below. There were two height levels with two jump points. The adrenaline is thrilling and inspires you to go again and jump from higher! The river trek was a peaceful and exciting journey through the rapids and over boulders. One of the best things I’ve ever done!

Tellement magnifique une expérience incroyable

  • 4.8 / 5

Due to high water, canyoning wasn't actually possible. Instead, we did some rapelling from the walls down into the gorge and there were two optional jumps into the water. One rapel down a waterfall with a jump into white water was pretty cool, so all in all it was a quite enjoyable experience. The gorge itself is absolutely beautiful and well worth the trip! We went on a few more canyoning trips, but this was definitely the most beautiful one! But if you're only interested in the canyoning itself, don't go here in May.
