Exhilarating and fun adventure challenge!
amycmather18, October 2026
Super fun and exciting challenge! The guides were great! We didn’t have any idea what we were in for, though, by the description. It starts out in a 20 minute hike in your very hot and tight wetsuit. Besides rappelling down the canyon, which is wonderful, you also have to do quite a lot of scrambling over boulders and hiking. Just be prepared. The adventure only lasts about 2 1/2 hours, although the TripAdvisor ad says 5 hours.

A Real Adventure
Chad_P, October 2026
This was definitely the highlight of our trip! We had an absolute blast. Physically challenging, but worth the effort. Our guides Lobo and Jaoa were terrific, always felt completely safe and they were very patient with everyone. All the gear you need is included. They transported our personal bags to the end of the canyon, so no need for waterproof containers. Bring a go pro if you have one. Highly recommend if you want a little adventure!
