Marbella Canyoning Tour (Benahavis River Walk)

Benahavís River Walk

Canyoning in Marbella

Not afraid to go on a little adventure? Hike and swim your way through the Río Guadalmina and experience the beauty of Spanish nature. Canyoning in Marbella is a family friendly activity for all ages. 

About this activity

Discover the most exciting outdoor canyoning adventure near Marbella – where you’ll be swimming, sliding, jumping, climbing, rappelling, and admiring the beauty of the natural canyon around you! It takes about 3 hours to complete this breathtaking canyoning trail. The activity is suitable for adventurers aged 8 to 65 who can swim and have a reasonable level of fitness, making it a great family-friendly activity.

On this tour, you will navigate through a beautiful canyon. You can do multiple jumps and a 6m rappel, but this is optional. You'll swim through scenic caves, be surrounded by impressive high cliffs, jump off rocks (or watch others if you prefer to skip), slide down natural formations, and let yourself be carried by the flowing stream. If you're lucky, you might even spot turtles or lizards along the way. It’s an adventurous trail you won’t forget. You need to swim through several stretches of deep water (some of which are 20-30 meters in length), so it's important that you can swim well independently. We have life jackets for children for extra support.

By booking a guided tour, you will be accompanied by an experienced, enthusiastic English-speaking guide who is fully licensed. We provide you with a complete set of high-quality canyoning gear, and your energetic guide will help you through the tricky parts of the trail. The water temperature is around 22℃, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Even in winter, this activity is perfectly doable thanks to our top-quality wetsuits suited to the season. In July and August, you have the option to not wear a wetsuit at all. We can provide you with free water boots for the adventure, but we recommend wearing your own sport shoes. Any comfortable shoes with good grip are perfectly fine. So everything you need is included, no surprises or hidden fees.

We have a young, fun, and international team with enthusiastic and licensed guides from Spain, The Netherlands, Hungary, France, and more. Our team is passionate about guiding you through the canyon safely while making it an unforgettable experience at the same time. They’ll also take photos and videos with a GoPro®, which you can download for free after the tour—so you’ll have lasting memories of your adventure.

The activity takes place in Benahavís, a municipality just above Marbella. The location is only 15 minutes from Puerto Banús, and about 25 minutes from Estepona. Join the thousands of travellers who’ve already made unforgettable memories with us! We hope to see you soon.

What other travellers say about this tour

A great canyoning excursion in Benahavís. Fun, challenging jumps off rocks, great scenery and perfect guidance through our guide Martin.

M. Bouw

I found this experience incredible. The scenery is breathtaking, very fun, and you can jump off the rocks. The duration is just right. The guide was more than excellent, pleasant and full of life.

Traveller

We got a clear confirmation email with all the information. Sem was a friendly guide. We had never done this before, but it was definitely doable despite being ‘inexperienced’!

Canyoning in Marbella during the low season

Low season? No worries!

The Costa del Sol enjoys about 325 sunny days per year, making canyoning possible almost all year round. Even during the low season the water temperature usually remains around 18°C. We provide professional full-body wetsuits in the cooler months to ensure you have an enjoyable canyoning tour.

The low season has its benefits as it will allow you to experience the beauty of the canyon while it’s still calm and peaceful. Moreover, you will have an even better chance to spot the wildlife that thrives in these environments.
