“My wife and I had an absolute blast on this trip! Our guides Andy and Gerard were incredible very easy going and fun but also made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. We were originally scheduled for the Chli Schliere canyoning but due to heavy rain ended up having to cancel. Outdoor went above and beyond to still get us on a canyoning trip while we were still in town for our honeymoon. The interlaken Canyoning is great because it only takes a few hours and you still get some of the jumps and drops! Definitely recommend!”
