Are you looking for an adventure in Scotland that will leave you with unforgettable memories? Look no further than Galloway Gorge scrambling! Our vouchers offer an exciting experience exploring the gorges of Castle Douglas, nestled in the stunning Dumfries and Galloway region.
Described by instructor Mike as ‘the little brother of canyoning’, gorge scrambling is a thrilling activity involving scrambling and jumping through gorges. Our Mannoch Gorge experience will have you discovering secret waterfalls, swimming and jumping along the way. For the daring among you, this is the more adventurous of the two options we offer in Galloway, and you will definitely get wet.
Our Otter Gorge experience is truly unique, as it involves tackling a variety of edifices. You’ll abseil down a bridge with water flowing all around you, walk a rope bridge, conquer the Giant’s Staircase, and explore what Galloway locals call the smuggler’s cave. While you won’t get quite as wet on this one, you will still be splashing around and having a great time.
Our expert Galloway outdoor instructors will guide and host your session, providing all the gear you need for your adventure. This is the perfect introduction to the sport, with plenty to keep even the most daring among you happy. With a minimum age of just nine, this is a fun day out for all ages!
Book your Galloway Gorge scrambling adventure today and make memories that will last a lifetime!
