Uk Canyoning Association

We aim to deliver high quality, standardised, internationally recognised training and certification. The UKCA training and certification courses are designed for all canyoneers from recreational through to professional level. Our training courses follow standards set out by professional experts and industry standards. We're responsible for promoting the highest standards of canyoning instruction and guiding, striving to ensure that canyoneers and participants enjoy quality, safe and fun experiences. There has been a long history of gorge walking in outdoor centres across the UK, and recently more commercial companies are providing canyoning trips to their clients. With a rapid increase in interest in the sport, UKCA has been formed to provide a resource for canyoneers all over the UK, to provide training, guidance and support in the current best practices to recreational canyoneers, professional guides and centre owners alike.
