We’d highly recommend Blue Ocean Activities and the gorge scrambling! sarahfp201623 September 2025Verified If you’re looking for; action, adventure and a bit of adrenaline this ticks all the boxes! We had so much fun canyoning with Blue Ocean activities. We were expertly and reassuringly guided along the River gorge, where we had fun jumping into pools, clambering over the rocks, swimming and even a little bit of pot holing. Any sections we did not feel comfortable with we had the option to sit out, which wasn’t a problem but as a 55 and 60 year-old couple, I’m pleased to say we managed it all! We were well kitted up with helmet, wetsuit and life jacket. Communication with the booking team was good.So If you’re up for a bit of adventure, action and adrenaline this would certainly tick the boxes.
