What to expect
Expect a genuinely physical day. After collection in an air-conditioned vehicle, you'll hike steeply uphill for roughly 2km to reach the canyon entrance, then descend 15 minutes to the start point. The canyoning itself involves rock scrambling, rope work, and abseiling beside waterfalls in a narrow gorge. You'll climb out over uneven terrain for 30 minutes at the end. Weather can shift rapidly, and the route may be adjusted based on conditions or group ability. Your guide makes safety calls throughout.
