“Enjoyed a great day canyoning with two sons (11 and 13). This tour was perfectly suited to be appropriate for us all. It was hard work for me, particularly the climbing up and down rocky edges of the canyon, but I got through and especially loved floating down the beautiful canyon beneath waterfalls. Youngest loved it all and found challenge in the rapids and jumps which made him feel proud. Oldest would have liked some higher jumps but had a great time. Highly recommended!”

“This was an amazing experience. The tour covered climbing, repelling, swimming and body surfing. With over 4hrs of actual activity, it does require some stamina and expect some sore muscles the next day. However, its worth the pain and will provide some great memories. The water can be very cold (50 deg when we were there) but they do provide suites which help a little. Be prepared to go in and out of the water for hours. Guides were great and kept everyone safe throughout the adventure. The repelling was about 165ft but is actually the easiest part unless you have a great fear of heights. I'm 63 and had…”

For instance, if you're not going to jump from the 5-meter rock, you can walk around. Do not forget to prepare a towel, an extra t-shirt, and sneakers in addition to your flip-flops. In case you want to film the trip, you need a GoPro camera or something waterproof. Be ready, the whole tour will take about 7 hours.”
