About this tour

This three-hour canyoning experience balances instruction with genuine exploration, making it an accessible introduction to the sport. You'll work with guides to navigate natural rock formations, abseil through sections, and swim in pools, with all technical kit supplied and a photographer capturing your progress.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the starting point and issues all protective gear—harness, neoprene suit, helmet. After a brief safety briefing on rope handling, you enter the canyon. Expect a mix of walking upstream, wading through thigh-deep water, and controlled rappels down rock faces using fixed anchor points. There are natural pools where you'll swim short distances. The pace is manageable but you'll be moving constantly for three hours, so steady fitness matters. A photographer documents key moments; you'll receive those images afterward.
Good to know
Bring your own water shoes or old trainers—the river bed is rocky. Minimum moderate fitness required; swimming ability essential. Pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues, or poor cardiovascular health should sit this out. No private transport included, so arrange your own arrival.
