What to expect
You'll don a full neoprene suit, life jacket and helmet before entering the water. The guide leads you through a series of calm pools and gentle rapids, with the river doing most of the work—you're carried along rather than paddling hard. Expect cold water, stunning canyon geology, and moments where the current picks up pace. The pace is manageable for moderate fitness levels, but you'll be in the water the whole time, so comfort in aquatic environments matters. Swimming ability isn't essential; the gear keeps you afloat.
Good to know
Bring trainers with grip; the rocks are slippery. Pack a towel and dry bag for afterwards. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Lunch and bottled water aren't included, so eat beforehand.
