Price splits cleanly along duration: the half-day in Murry's Canyon runs 3.5h at 76 £, while both full-day options clock in at 5.5h for 117 £ each. If Murry's Canyon is your target, the extra 41 £ buys you two more hours on the same canyon, which makes sense if you want to push deeper into the gorge rather than just sample it. King Robert's Canyon sits at the same full-day price and shares an "Occasionally sporty" physical level, but takes you to a different drainage system in Galloway Forest Park, run by Galloway Canyoning. First-timers should start with the half-day at 76 £ to test their comfort with cold Scottish water and technical descents before committing to a full day.

Wear a close-fitting base layer under your wetsuit (provided by Galloway Canyoning) and bring old trainers or neoprene boots with grip. At an "Occasionally sporty" level over 3.5h to 5.5h, your footwear is the one piece of kit that genuinely affects your safety on slick rock.
