Yes. All of the tours, canyoning and gorge walking have dates through the winter and from April.

Gorge walking is for ages 7 and over, and under-16s must come with an adult on both canyoning and gorge walking. Both need a moderate level of fitness and the ability to swim 15 metres in a buoyancy aid. The tours don't state a minimum age, so check the activity page.

For canyoning, bring swimwear, trainers or walking boots, a towel, old shorts to wear over the wetsuit, any medication you need and a thin fleece, which is a must from November to April. For gorge walking, bring footwear, a towel, old shorts and any medication. The tours don't list anything to bring.
