Frequently asked questions

What does 'dry canyoning' actually mean?
Dry canyoning is canyoning without water. You abseil, slide and jump through volcanic gorges carved in dry rock, with no river currents or swimming involved. It's the defining feature of canyoning inside Teide Natural Park, where the terrain is volcanic and largely arid.
What's the most intense moment of this tour?
The abseil sections down the volcanic rock faces are the peak adrenaline moments. The canyon walls near Vilaflor drop sharply, putting you fully exposed on the rope before your feet find the next ledge.
Do I need canyoning experience to join?
No. The tour is listed as 'Everybody welcome', meaning no prior experience is required. The guides from Outdoor Activities Tenerife handle technical briefings on-site.
How long does the full experience last?
The tour runs for 5 hours from the meeting point at Las Cañadas, near Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Factor in travel time to the meeting point on top of that.
