Adventure awaits! - This was such a fun adventure. It’s definitely on the more difficult side of adventures, You climb up, put on the wetsuits you carried with you and then you climb. Slide, jump and repel down:) I had an absolute blast. It’s an all day event as they you meet at 8am and back around 5:30 or. Bring shoes you don’t mind getting very wet, snacks or lunch, water and towel and bathing suit for underneath the wetsuit:)

Canyoning with MARC - Marc made the experience 10x better than it already was. His attitude + free spirit is exactly what you want on this type of tour - he encouraged us while making us die of laughter the entire way. Truly a special guy and an incredible experience.

A great experience - An unforgettable experience in the middle of nowhere. The journey by 4x4 bus was already a world trip on unpaved roads and through riverbeds. Then a 60 min hike and masterful slides and abseiling challenges. A great day under great and friendly guidance from Lawrence and Joris. Well done lads.

Reaching fir new heights!!! - My most memorable moment was the last solo waterfall rappel. Zak was our guide. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We really enjoyed his company the entire day. I would recommend him as a guide to others and this adventure. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

LOVED every second!! - We had the most incredible day doing the Ghost Canyon!! Marc our guide was brilliant - fun, energetic and very knowledgable.
We’re on our honeymoon and this has been one of our greatest highlights of the trip! The experience is filled with fun slides, rappels, jumps and amazing scenery!! The only advice we can give is to not miss out on doing this as it’s a day where you’ll create some amazing memories!

From zero to hero in Ghost Canyon - We were new to canyoning and met Zac our guide. From the start it was the perfect experience. We had luck just to be a group of 2 and enjoyed the hole day in Ghost Canyon. It felt like going on a trip with a friend, but a very skillet, professional and empathetic friend. We learned very much about canyoning and our selfs. Thank you very much Zac and all the best for your future plans. You will rock it!

Amazing Experience with a Fantastic Tour Guide! - Kris was a fantastic tour guide, he was very patient with me as I had never done canyoning before and I was a little apprehensive. He was informative, friendly and an absolute joy to spend the day with. This canyoning itself was great even for a first timer with terrible balance skills. It was an incredibly fun day and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Great family adventure - Our family had a great time on our first canyoning experience. We splurged for this activity and it was worth it. Mark, our guide, was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and kept us all safe. My teenage son actually smiled for the first time our entire vacation and had a blast. We were so lucky to have a warm summer day which made getting in the cold cold waters refreshing. We were literally in the middle of nowhere and had the canyons to ourselves. The drive out to the canyon is a bumpy one and the initial hike up is a good elevation climb. Wear good hiking shoes and be prepared to be wet head to toe all day. At times, it was challenging, but we felt like bad a$$es at the end of the day.
