This family-friendly canyoning adventure in the Benahavís canyon is, above all, enormous fun! Led by an expert guide, you'll walk, swim, jump, and abseil your way through the natural landscapes of the Río Guadalmina.
Ideally located between Estepona and Marbella, the Río Guadalmina is one of the go-to rivers for canyoning near Marbella. With an average water temperature of 18°C, it offers an enjoyable experience for anyone in search of an aquatic adventure. In winter, the quality neoprene wetsuits provided by your guide will keep you comfortably warm, whilst in summer they become entirely optional!
Over 3 hours of canyoning in Benahavís, you'll encounter all the classic obstacles the sport has to offer. If you fancy it, you can take on several jumps and a 6-metre abseil — though these are completely optional. What you will definitely do is swim through the Río Guadalmina beneath the canyon's impressive cliff walls and glide down natural water slides carried along by the current. Being a confident swimmer is therefore essential to fully enjoy the experience, and for younger participants, life jackets will be provided for extra support.
With the guidance and encouragement of your experienced instructor, tackling the Benahavís canyon will feel like second nature. With a bit of luck, you might even spot turtles or lizards along the way. More than just a sporting activity, this canyoning outing in the Río Guadalmina is a chance to immerse yourself in an exceptional natural environment with the family, just 25 minutes from Marbella.
Book this unforgettable experience now and descend the Benahavís canyon with the instructors at Marbella Adventures this summer!
