Disappointed
I chose this excursion because of the perfect 5 star rating it has on Trip Advisor and because it mentioned being able to pick up at your hotel. The first date I selected was not approved because there weren’t enough people. They approved my second choice and sent an email with a location to meet for pickup. I emailed them back asking about the hotel pickup to which they replied it was only for small groups. The instructions stated just to bring swimwear, that everything else would be provided. I booked this for my adult daughters and went with them to meet their guide. He picked them up and informed us that they were the only participants. This leads to my first issue which is that this is a small group, so by definition, it seems like they could have been picked up, but no big deal. My biggest issue is that the guide offered to stop so my daughters could use the bathroom before they got there, to which they replied they didn’t need to use the toilet. A few minutes later he asked if they had their swimsuits on. They said they did not and asked to stop somewhere to change. He stated that they would need to change in the van and that he had ponchos they could use if they wanted. This is unprofessional and disrespectful to do when he and his son are alone with two young ladies they don’t know. We paid a lot of money for a fun and professional experience, and to say I’m disappointed is an understatement.

Teen approved family adventure!
My teen and I had a fantastic time. She said it was her favorite part of the trip. We are not an athletic family so the trip was a bit outside our comfort zone but it was thrilling and we felt accomplished afterwards. Our guide, Ross, was fantastic and we felt safe and in good hands the whole time. The stop after in the village for sandwiches and hot chocolate was perfect! It was a nice excursion away from all the tourists and castles. We loved it!

Canyoning was incredible!!
What an amazing day! Our tour guide, Mikey, took our family of four through Dollar Glen and we had an absolute blast! Mickey was very skilled, patient, fun, and a genuinely nice person. This was the first time canyoning for us and while we thought we would enjoy it we weren’t sure – and because of this experience I’m certain we will be looking for our next opportunity! Intrepidus Outdoors was responsive, professional, communicative, and supportive. We also felt safe the entire time, the quality gear used and Mikey's safety focus was apparent. We highly recommend the company, Mickey as a guide, and very definitely canyoning!

Never tried Canyoning, try today!!
I went canyoning with Intrepidus Outdoors for the first time and it was an incredible experience! Basically you are getting down the mountain through the water- sliding down waterfalls, abseiling, zip lines and trekking through the shallow parts with your adrenaline pumping the entire time. Ross is the best guide with years of experience! I absolutely go canyoning again! Intrepidus Outdoors is in Edinburgh and they drive your group to the canyon; we went to Dollar Canyon. The company also does coastering, kayaking, mountain biking and tours that give back to special communities in Scotland. Thanks Intrepidus for making it so easy to book. Wonderful time!!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh cost?
+
Prices start at $193 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Canyoning Day Trip from Edinburgh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands, Edinburgh: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Fort William, Edinburgh Ghost Tour: Mysteries, Legends and Murders. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
