Really good introduction to canyoning. Our guide, Briggs was super chill and made us feel really comfortable and safe and ready to try it all!
This activity was amazing. Our guide was wonderful and shared his passion for canyoneering. Some parts were scary but I always felt safe! I would recommend this!
