Canyoning is the perfect summer adventure and often involves a variety of activities including swimming, wading, jumping into pools ('waterjumps'), abseiling through waterfalls, bushwalking and scrambling over rocks and boulders.A fantastic abseiling and canyon day for beginners. Learn the fundamentals of abseiling in the morning – you will be amazed as you progress from 2m abseils through to 25m abseils. After a picturesque picnic lunch the real fun begins! Put your newly acquired skills to use in the extremely beautiful and exciting canyon. Scrambling, wading, swimming and jumping into pristine water whilst surrounded by spectacular scenery – if you haven’t been canyoning before you won’t have seen anything like it.

Amazing
The experience was amazing, way better than what I expected for beginners. The guides were professional, and everything was on point. I'm definitely looking forward to another adventure with these guys.

The canyoning and abseiling combo is an awesome adventure to take. I had minimal abseiling experience and no canyoning experience and found it easy to pick up with the instruction from the guides. I highly recommend it. A very fun day.
