The trip ends in a crystal-clear pool where you can swim and soak up the beauty. Port Alice Canyoning Tour Explorer (3–4 hrs) This extended trip takes you higher up the canyon for multiple rappels. Start with a short vertical drop into a deep pool perfect for jumping and swimming, followed by a dramatic descent down a massive waterfall with ledges and natural obstacles. Finish with the final two rappels into the main pool, building skill and confidence as you go. Port Alice Canyoning Tour Conquest (6–8 hrs) The ultimate canyoning experience. After a hike to the top with sweeping views, gear up for 9 rappels, natural slides, downclimbs, and optional jumps.

Great day canyoning in Port Alice

5.00A friend and I took a wander down through a canyon in Port Alice, Vancouver Island with Mat a few weeks ago and had a great day out in a beautiful part of the world. The repels were varied and Mat set up and explained everything perfectly for each decent. Overall I found Mat to be very professional and personable and would highly recommend this adventure. Its a perfect reason to go see Port Alice as well.

5.00Two years ago I did a tour with their sister company in the Rockies (Banff Canyoning) and this time I visited my daughter and we did a road trip through Vancouver Island and we went canyoning with Matt in Port Alice! We loved it and would definitely recommend it (we would also recommend visiting Port Alice because its a beautiful spot)

5.00As a first timer to zip-lining I felt very confident and safe following Matthew's instruction, and had so much fun on the route he set up. I highly recommend any of the excursions Western Canyoning Adventure-Vancouver Island offers! Thank you Matthew, you are an excellent adventure guide!
