My 14 year old Son had the best time White Water Tubing in the river at Drumlanrig Castle. The booking process was easy, communication was excellent throughout and Mike and Nat were incredible hosts and Mike especially took really good care of my Son and he loved every minute! We have just downloaded all of the photos and videos that were taken which surprisingly are all included in the price. Do not hesitate to book! You will have the best time. Cannot recommend highly enough 😊

While we were away on our two-week family holiday in the Galloway Forest Park area, we were looking for activities to do and I found Gorge Scrambling with Galloway Canyoning. We decided to give it a go and we had such an incredible time. My partner and our son had never done anything like this before, and they both loved every minute. Mike and Victoria were both seriously friendly, engaging, and made the trip so much fun for everyone. We enjoyed it so much that we booked a canyoning trip the very next week. On Mike’s recommendation, we chose the Lower Murray’s trip, and again, we had a fantastic time. I want to say a personal thank you to Mike for the incredible patience, encouragement, and genuine care he showed my son. From the moment we arrived, he took the time to explain everything in a way that made my son feel confident and excited, not nervous. During the activities, Mike was right there offering guidance, cheering him on, and celebrating every little achievement. You could see how much it meant to my son, and it made the whole experience even more memorable for us as a family. I’ve had a lot of instructors over the years but watching Mike in action was something special. His ability to connect with people of all ages, teach clearly, and inspire confidence while keeping the atmosphere fun and safe is something you don’t come across often, with the occasional little trick thrown in for good measure. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and calm, encouraging approach genuinely set him apart from anyone I’ve seen. Highly recommend Galloway Canyoning to anyone visiting the area. You won’t regret it!
