What is canyoning?
Okinawa, famous as a resort area, attracts many tourists to experience its beautiful sea and nature.
Iriomote Island is especially popular to enjoy canyoning and trekking in the jungle.
Canyoning is where you trek toward a waterfall and enjoy sliding down it like a water slide from upstream.
There is another activity called “shower climbing.” Still, while shower climbing involves climbing up a stream, canyoning is an activity that allows you to enjoy a sense of speed as you let the river’s current carry you downstream.
What is shower climbing?
Shower climbing is an activity that involves climbing up a river.
In canyoning, you slide and flow with the river’s current, but this is not the case in shower climbing.
Shower climbing is more strenuous than canyoning because you are going against the river’s current.
