What to expect

You'll kit up in wetsuit, harness and helmet before entering the canyon. Most of the route involves scrambling over rocks, wading through pools and negotiating short abseils on rope. The jumps vary in height—some just a few metres, others requiring real commitment. Water temperature and flow depend on season; expect cold water and slippery surfaces. You move as a small group, with guides managing the rope work. Fitness matters less than willingness to get fully soaked and follow instructions precisely.
