What to expect on your first canyoning adventure

Ready for Your First Canyoning Adventure?

If you're thinking about canyoning for the first time, you probably have plenty of questions. How physically demanding is it? Is it safe? What do I need to bring? In this guide, we cover everything you need to know before your first canyoning tour in Montenegro.

What Is Canyoning?

Canyoning (also called canyoneering) is an adventure sport that involves exploring canyons using various techniques: walking, swimming, jumping, climbing and rappelling. In Montenegro, the Nevidio and Grabovica canyons provide perfect environments for this activity, with crystal-clear water and stunning rock formations.

Physical Fitness Requirements

You don't need to be a professional athlete, but a reasonable base level of fitness is important. You should be able to:

  • Walk for 3-4 hours without major difficulty
  • Swim basic strokes
  • Climb short heights with assistance
  • Be between 11 and 65 years old

For complete beginners, we recommend Grabovica Canyon - it's wide, sunny and less demanding than Nevidio. Once you've experienced Grabovica, you'll have the confidence and skills to tackle Nevidio on your next visit.
