“Canyoneering” and “canyoning” refer to the same activity, but the terminology varies depending on the region. The term “canyoning” is used in Europe, while “canyoneering” is more commonly used in North America. In both cases, the activity involves descending a canyon by alternating between walking, swimming, and rope abseiling.
