What to expect
You'll kit up in provided wetsuits and harnesses, then follow your instructor into the granite canyon. Expect alternating sections of controlled slides down smooth rock faces and plunge pools where you'll jump or wade depending on depth. The descent involves basic abseiling technique—your guide handles safety systems and coaching as you work downward. Water temperature is cold year-round. The final highlight is a thrilling zipline spanning the canyon, giving you a bird's-eye view before you touch solid ground again. Total time runs roughly three hours; pace is steady but not rushed.
