Top 5 Canyoning Experiences in Jordan for Adrenaline Lovers

Looking for a real adventure in Jordan? Canyoning is one of the best ways to explore its wild landscapes. With narrow gorges, deep pools, and natural waterfalls, these routes offer action, beauty, and a true taste of nature.

Here are five canyoning spots that every thrill-seeker should experience.

1. Wadi Mujib – Jordan’s Most Popular Canyoning Spot

Best for: First-timers and adventure lovers
Location: Just off the Dead Sea Highway
What to Expect: Waterfalls, swimming pools, and steep rock walls

Wadi Mujib is Jordan’s most famous canyon — and for good reason. It’s exciting, safe, and easy to reach. You’ll walk, swim, slide, and climb through narrow corridors of rock. It’s open from April to October and doesn’t require prior experience.

➡️ Join our Wadi Mujib Day Trip. We provide everything you need, including a guide, gear, and transportation.

2. Wadi Mukheires – Raw, Wild, and Less Crowded

Best for: Those who want a more natural and quiet route
Location: Close to the Dead Sea
What to Expect: Fewer people, beautiful rock formations, and freshwater pools

Wadi Mukheires is less known but just as stunning. The path is rougher and more peaceful. You’ll climb rocks, wade through water, and enjoy the quiet of untouched nature.

➡️ Explore this with our Wadi Mukheires Day Trip. It’s a perfect choice for people who love the wild.

3. Wadi Zarqa Ma’in – For the Bold and Experienced

Best for: Intermediate to advanced canyoners
Location: Near Ma’in Hot Springs
What to Expect: Big waterfalls, rope descents, and dramatic views

This canyon is for people who want more action. You’ll rappel down waterfalls as high as 45 meters. It’s technical, but the views and thrill are worth it.

➡️ Try this route during our Vertical Adventure Tour. It’s a week-long journey that includes climbing and canyoning.

4. Wadi Hidan – A Black Basalt Paradise

Best for: Nature lovers and photographers
Location: South of Madaba
What to Expect: Black rocks, clear pools, and green plants

Wadi Hidan is known for its black volcanic rock and refreshing water. The path is less steep but very scenic. It’s great for families or those who want a lighter adventure.

5. Wadi Numeira – Easy, Scenic, and Peaceful

Best for: Hikers and first-time adventurers
Location: Near the southern Dead Sea
What to Expect: Shallow water, slot canyons, and rock walls

This route feels magical. You’ll walk between towering canyon walls and through shallow streams. It’s more of a hike than a full canyoning trip, but it’s still full of wonder.

➡️ Join our Wild Jordan Route or Women’s Adventure Retreat to experience Wadi Numeira or similar hidden gems.
