Unique, enjoyable experience! Stephen was a great, engaging guide. He's been doing it for 20+ years, so really knows his stuff. We felt safe the entire time. A dozen jumps, from 1m to 8m!! A few natural slides, some minimal rock climbing, and scaling the canyon walls, and plenty of soaking/swimming. At one point my daughter said, "I feel like we're in 'The Goonies!' " If you don't want to take one of the larger leaps, you can hike around any of the jumps.
Gear included in our costs were the wetsuits, canyon shoes (far superior to sneakers), neoprene socks, and helmet. Stephan takes a ton of photos along the way, which he shares with you after. No need to bring your phone. Our day was overcast, a bit rainy, and didn't get past 75º F (24º C). Our wetsuits kept us very comfortable!
This is my second time canyoning, and I'll continue to look for opportunities to go again.
We drove ourselves to the rally point - Hotel Obermayr in Ebenau. Easy drive, if you don't want Salzburg pickup.
