Alica – Germany

The canyoning was amazing, Puna & Julian were amazing guides. I would recommend to anyone. The whole trip was fun and we felt very safe the entire time. We would do this again!

Tabz and Julian were so much fun and made sure we were smiling the whole time! Patient, attentive and kind. The route is incredibly beautiful with lots of different things to do along the way so you feel like you’re on an adventure from start to finish!

Full description

Check in at the base camp to pick up your wetsuits, harnesses, life jackets and helmets. Once the group is ready, leave base camp for a short drive to the start of your canyon adventure. First, start your ropes course with a gentle 25-meter abseil into the canyon. Then, kick off with your first jump into the river followed by a short swim.

Next, if you choose, try your hand at some cliff jumping. For this part of the activity, the highest jump is around of about 7 meters, and lowest 1 meter above the water level, so there are many options if your nerves are getting the better of you.

Continue swimming and hiking down the river to The Rush, a waterfall abseil, and seasonally a controlled zip-line over the waterfall. Carry on swimming and hiking down the river until your next adventure, a 55-meter zip-line over a waterfall and into the river below. On completion of the trip, you will be collected from the pick-up point and transported back to the base camp for a nice hot shower, and to collect your pictures of the canyon trip.

Punna, Warren, Essie (reception) and the rest of the team are stars. I’m not a strong swimmer and they helped me through comfortably. They are clearly experienced, professional and prioritised my safety. The views of the canyon are stunning and it was an incredible journey for me as a solo traveler. 10/10 will recommend and 10/10 will repeat.
