Awesome canyoning experience!! We did the intermediate trip in the Big Nige Canyon with a very competent and friendly guide. It was a terrific trip in a beautiful canyon. We felt really comfortable and safe during the whole trip. Thank you for this great day! Jan 2025

My daughter and I had an amazing experience at Niger Stream Canyon today, led by Dani..who was outstanding! Dani tailored the experience to our abilities and we both felt like we achieved everything we were capable of (and way more than we anticipated). Dani was supportive, knowledgeable and professional. The canyon was a perfect setting for a beginner and intermediate level experience. Do it! It's awesome! Dec 2024

Went on the Big Nige tour for the first day of the season. Having never done canyoning before it was an amazing experience of abseiling, sliding and jumping into pools. A good balance between thrills and challenge i look forward to canyoning again! The guides were helpful and friendly too.

We took the Wilson Creek trip and what a trip! It is a majestic canyon with roaring water, but our guide Robin and Renault made it so safe for us! Price may be high, but their huge efforts are well worth it! You probably cannot find a more adventurous guided activity in the world!

This was a fantastic canyoning experience for me as a first time and for my wife who has done if before but not for a long time. Our guides were fantastic, I had total confidence in their safety standard, even on the scary parts!

We have been traveling to so many places and tried all kinds of adventures. But this was the best! I’m pretty confident no experience can beat this one! My husband and I did the Wilson canyoning with Rene and Robin as our guide! The are amazing! This is an advanced canyoning especially with heavy water flow. They kept us safe and made it epic!

I had an amazing day with Deep Canyon. Reno was awesome, knowledgeable, safe and a lot of fun! So glad I decided to spend the day canyoning!
