The day runs roughly seven hours from pickup to return, with a two-hour break in Bled for lunch and exploring town. Children from age 10 are welcome; minimum height for canyoning is 140 centimeters.Is it for me?The seven-hour span from pickup to return leaves your morning or evening free, so you can build a second activity into the same day or simply rest between the two water adventures without rushing.
