We booked for my son's 16th birthday for him and his best friend, and us (couple in our forties). Easy booking process, and the plans well communicated to us by Mike in advance via email, including very clear instructions for the meeting point. All the canyoying suits were provided for us, and neoprene socks which helped keep us warm and skin protected. Great safety briefing. Mike is clearly very knowledgeable, loves what he does, and made us all feel at ease. A short 10 minute climb up the hill, then we were ready to start! The high jumps into the water, abseiling over waterfalls and sliding through the canyon's river was just an exhilarating experience all round. Mike even provided chocolate halway round (which is like the tea and toast feeling after having a baby🤣) - much needed and appreciated, and keeps you going. All round, just a bloody great experience - thank you Mike. Highly recommend.

Our 15 year old did his 2nd trip to Murray's canyon with Mike from Galloway canyoning. He had an amazing time. The photos that were taken showed genuine smiles from a teenager! It was all very well organised. Professional and friendly. Thanks very much

Cannot thank Mike and Joe enough for the amazing experience at Murrays Canyon. Both my myself and my friend had never been canyoning before and we were pretty nervous on the day. Mike and Joe were the perfect balance of reassuring and encouraging so there was never any pressure to do anything that you aren't comfortable with, but their encouragement helped us to be able to complete every jump, abseil and slide that the canyon had to offer! Aside from the nerves, we never felt any concern for safety due to how thoroughly everything was explained and checked. You guys really made the day what it was for us, thank you! Highly recommend the full day experience at Murrays Canyon (the top half was the best bit). We will be back for King Roberts soon!
