What to expect
You'll start at a facility further north than most operators, gaining access to a less-trafficked stretch of river. After gearing up, a safety briefing covers paddle technique and river hazards. The rapids vary in intensity; expect some adrenaline on steeper sections but plenty of quieter pools for regrouping. The canyon walls narrow in places, and you'll see native vegetation. Paddling takes roughly three hours with a midway break. Back at base, rinse off, grab lunch in the dining area, then get driven back to your hotel. The whole day from pickup to drop-off spans five hours.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential; the paddle is physically demanding. Bring a change of clothes and waterproof bag for valuables. Sunscreen, hat and sunglasses recommended. Not suitable if pregnant, with spinal injuries, or poor cardiovascular health. Drinks and photo purchases cost extra.
