What to expect
You'll spend roughly three hours working upstream and downstream through Guadalmina Canyon. After gearing up and a safety briefing, the guide leads you through a series of water-filled sections. Most jumps are optional, so you can sit them out or take the plunge. Expect sustained swimming, scrambling over rocks, and brief technical sections where you'll use harness and rope. The water's cold but invigorating. Pace is relaxed—this isn't a race. The guide manages the group's flow and watches for anyone struggling; they can ask you to exit if safety becomes an issue.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required; poor cardiovascular health, spinal injuries, and pregnancy contraindicate participation. Non-swimmers can go with a life jacket. Bring your own trainers or hire canyon shoes (notify your shoe size). Age range 6–70 years (12–65 in winter). Hotel transfers aren't included; arrange your own transport to the start point.
