1051 reviewsCrags Adventures have been operating in and around the Lake District since 2012. We are a small family run mountaineering business particularly specialising in Canyoning and Ghyll Scrambling. We have a genuine passion for what we do and care deeply about the experiences we offer. Our specialist canyoning specific wetsuits are shipped in from abroad and are the thickest and warmest on the market. Their quality is unrivalled (believe us we've tried all the others).
Your adventure with us has evolved over the years and through experience has been designed and altered to ensure you get a quality experience. Excitement, safety and comfort are always at the forefront of our mind. Our group sizes aren't based on taking as many people as possible safely on an activity. We ensure the groups are smaller and more intimate to keep you entertained and to reduce/eliminate anytime spent waiting around for others in a big queue. We could take more people out safely and we will if you request it but if you are travelling in couples or small groups of friends you won't be put in a huge group.
We layer you in quality kit that has been well thought out for the time of year/current conditions to ensure you are warm at any time of year you choose to come out with us. This will ensure that when you are jumping in a mountain stream with us you can "enjoy" rather than "endure" our sessions.
As well as the more common mountaineering and first aid qualifications others have, we pride ourselves in being one of only a small number of people and businesses in the UK with actual canyoning specific qualifications including canyon rescue. This means you will be taken out by someone who is not just highly skilled but skilled specifically in the activity you are taking part in.
We have a genuine passion for what we do. We even spend our evenings and days off canyoning. Even when we are on holiday we are canyoning in the Alps. Because we love what we do our enthusiasm and excitement for the activity will shine through. That's why we run all of our sessions ourselves , to ensure our high standards are maintained the way we expect. We will ensure you have a great adventure with us full of fun and laughter. Our activities will suit most people from the thrill seeking adrenaline junkies amongst you to the more timid first time adventurers. We have locations suitable for families with children from 9 years of age and we have activities that are adults only.
We know that you will be having too much fun to worry about taking your own photos/videos, so luckily we take them for you. They will be shared free of charge the same day. If you look at our photos and videos on any of our social media platforms (or website) you will see what to expect. In the interests of transparency we purposefully have never hired a professional photographer or took pictures that make the activity look more exciting than it is. What you see is what you will get. All our pictures and videos are of actual customers doing our activities and have been taken by ourselves.
