"Amazing experience"

Canyoning was amazing experience. Both Luke’s made us feel very safe and at the same time ensured we had a load of fun. Would recommend this experience.

"Canyoning is a must!"

The canyoning is a must! Amazing experience swimming in Scotlands natural waters. Luke was brilliant and really patient with me as I was very clumsy! Would recommend to everyone.

"A lot of fun"

We had a great family experience canyoning and on the via ferrata. Our guides, Luke, Reha and Damon, were really engaging and made the activities feel safe but also a lot of fun. The area is stunning and we would thoroughly recommend Vertical Descent.

"Would highly recommend"

Had an amazing experience canyoning at Inchree falls - our guide made us feel comfortable from the outset and encouraged us to do what we could! Challenging, but also so much fun throughout - would highly recommend as an activity to do in Fort William/Glencoe area.
