There is a wide range of activities related to canyoning. Among them, we can mention:
White-water activities, such as rafting or hydrospeed. These also involve descending rivers, but unlike canyoning, participants use a raft or hydrospeed board, offering different sensations.
Aquatic hiking, which takes place in the riverbed. There is little verticality in this activity, and obstacles are generally easy to cross without ropes or other equipment. This makes it very accessible for families with young children, as long as they can swim.
Coasteering (or coastal canyoning), which emerged in the 1990s in Wales. It involves exploring the coastline by alternating jumps, swimming, climbing, and rappelling, all along the sea! This activity gives access to caves only reachable from the water, offering a unique experience.
Caving (spelunking), which allows participants to explore caves. It sometimes requires climbing, canyoning, swimming, or diving techniques.
Climbing and mountaineering, practiced in natural environments, require specific techniques and equipment similar to canyoning, although the disciplines differ.
These activities fall under the broader categories of outdoor, nature, canyoning, and water sports, providing diverse ways to enjoy adventurous environments.
