What to expect
You'll start in an air-conditioned vehicle heading to the canyon entrance. Once geared up—wetsuit, harness, helmet—your guide leads you into the gorge. Expect scrambling over boulders, short rappels down rock faces, and walking through shallow stream sections. The landscape shifts between vertical walls and open pools. Your guide handles all technical rigging; you follow their lead and manage your own footwork. It's physical but methodical, with regular stops to absorb the geology and catch your breath.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required. Not suitable if pregnant, with spinal injuries, or poor cardiovascular health. Bring a towel and change of clothes. Public transport reaches the starting area. The wetsuit keeps you warm in canyon water.
