CANYONING SEASON IS HERE!

After a few days of rain late last week the water level in the canyons were perfect for canyoning over the weekend.

A combination of sun and great water made for plenty of huge smiles over the weekend, as our guides made the most of the conditions.

FOX CANYON
Fox Canyon was pumping on the weekend! Big water and Big smiles everywhere.

Fox is our most popular half day canyoning tour and with good reason. It has a little bit of everything that makes canyoning great. Jumps, slides, swims, rope-work.... It is a great fist time canyon for groups of varying abilities and thrill levels. Those that want to push it harder have some more difficult options. Those who want to take it easy can be given easier options.

Full Day Canyoning
Recently we have seen a increase in people seeking a full day of adventure. Canyons offers a large range of different full day options, with 2 new courses added for the 2009 season. Info on these options can be found here on the web page.
Last week was a chance for the guides to visit one of the newer courses in Kusatsu and see what all the talk was about. Azur Canyon, named after the colour of the water, is a beautiful canyon with plenty of rope work and its was a great day out that we all enjoyed.

For more information on the new courses see the Fullday Canyoning page

A series of different rope-work techniques are required to descend the Canyon.

Rafting continues...
Although canyoning season has hit, the rafting is still popular. Water levels were still good over last weekend with plenty of action on the river to keep our guides on their toes!

Hope to see you on the river soon!
