What to Expect
This is a comprehensive course made up of two practical training days. Each session is focused on real-world learning, allowing you to try, adapt, and assess your own decision-making with the support of a certified canyon guide. You’ll begin by revisiting core concepts such as safe descent planning, rope management, and group dynamics. From there, the course moves into advanced topics including setting up taut ropes, detachable anchor points, installing handrails for group safety, and managing descents in aquatic environments.
Throughout the two days, you’ll alternate between physical practice and short sessions on theory, with time to reflect and assess your progress. The course also includes scenarios based on common canyoning errors, giving you the tools to spot risks early and act effectively. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to plan a canyon descent with proper safety protocols, respond to emergencies using basic self-rescue skills, and assist others in technical situations.
Location
Training takes place across several pre-selected sites in the Serra de Tramuntana, where both dry and aquatic environments are accessible. These locations have been chosen specifically for their variety of terrain, allowing you to practise all course elements in realistic conditions.
The Tramuntana Mountains are Mallorca’s canyoning hub, filled with limestone channels, cliff formations, and seasonal watercourses. You’ll be introduced to a mix of technical features, all within a safe, instructional environment. Exact locations may vary depending on conditions, but you’ll always be informed in advance and guided to each meeting point.
Prerequisites
You’ll need to have completed a beginner (N1) canyoning course or have some prior guided experience. You should already be comfortable wearing a harness, using basic abseiling techniques, and managing movement in flowing water and vertical environments.
While the course is not designed to be overly physically intense, a good level of fitness and confidence in outdoor environments is important. If you’re unsure whether your experience level is suitable, the instructor will be happy to assess and advise.
