What to expect
Expect a mixed terrain descent where you'll alternate between walking, wading and more technical moves. Your guide will brief you on rope work and safety protocols before you abseil the first drop. The slides are natural stone channels worn smooth by water—thrilling but not extreme. You'll move as a group, with the instructor managing rope anchors and pacing. The gorge stays cool and shaded, though you'll get wet from spray and stream crossings. Three hours covers several descents and a good introduction to canyoning fundamentals.
Good to know
Bring a swimsuit and towel; wear shoes with grip. The activity involves vertical drops and cold water—not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy or cardiovascular concerns. Accessible by public transport; confirm meeting location with your operator. Most fitness levels manage the route, but some upper-body strength helps with rope techniques.
