Private air-conditioned transport collects you from meeting points and returns you afterwards.

What to expect

You'll start with a kit briefing—helmet, harness, ropes—then descend into the canyon in stages. Each rappel varies in height and technicality; your guide manages anchors and belay systems so you just focus on controlling your descent. Between pitches, you'll walk along the streambed, occasionally wading or swimming. The canyon narrows in sections, opening into pools perfect for cooling off. You get chances to jump or slide off natural chutes if you fancy it. Expect slippery rocks, cold water, and genuinely impressive stone walls towering above. The pace builds fitness demands as you progress, though it suits mixed abilities.
