Superb Canyoning Trip
Just completed the Rio Guadalmina trip with James the guide from Ultimate Rock Adventures. It was amazing!!! If you have a reasonable level of fitness and a sense of adventure then this is the day out for you. James put us at ease, was very knowledgable and instilled confidence so that we were soon abseiling down a cliff face with ease. Wet suits, helmets and harness all provided. Lots of information on the local flora, fauna and geology as an added bonus. Transportation provided from Gibraltar or Andalusia. We would both give this a five star review as we conquered a few fears with a smile on our faces and a real sense of achievement. See their website for full details and information.

Fantastic Canyoning in Benahavis
Just back from a great day out canyoning in Spain with Ultimate Rock Adventures. Quick and easy pick up at the border, a handy breakfast stop and then all the professional kit needed for a full day of adventure with an expert guide. We were a family of 3 which included my 11 year old daughter and we all had a total blast. The route is both challenging and fun and the area is really lovely. Highly recommended for a family day out with a difference!

A fun day out – overcoming fears
On Saturday last, I joined a group of six people and undertook the Ultimate Rock Adventures’ canyoning experience aimed at beginners and families. Overall our ages ranged from 9 – 66 years old. A very mixed ability group. What an absolutely fabulous day we had!
James, the group leader was helpful, encouraging and understanding – all in equal measure. I was quite fearful of the abseiling involved, but with quiet patience he oversaw the group (and surprisingly, me included) go over the edge and into the Rio Guadalmina. We then traversed the canyon via a variety of swims, paddles, slips and slides, along with a series of jumps into the water from both high and low. A leisurely lunch in Benahavis afterwards completed a very memorable and exhilarating day. Thank you James.

We can’t wait to join him again on another adventure! kids had the time of their lives and haven’t stopped talking about it! James was very encouraging and very professional at all times. If you enjoy outdoor adventures Ultimate Rock Adventures is the way to go!
