What to expect
Expect sustained physical exertion over six hours. You'll navigate a series of descents using ropes, jump into pools, slide down natural chutes and swim through narrow canyon sections. The terrain is technical but not mountaineering—your guide manages rope work while you move through the landscape. There's no padding; you're moving constantly and making decisions about water temperature and drop heights. Fitness matters significantly here.
Good to know
Bring your own lunch and arrange transport to the meeting point. Unsuitable if you've had spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular fitness, or are pregnant. Requires high physical fitness; not recommended for those over 110 kg without regular training. Wear a wetsuit underneath provided gear in cooler months.
