About this tour
Extreme Canyoneering starts just like our classic canyoning tour, with breakfast at base camp, a 4×4 ride up the mountain, zip lines, swimming and five waterfall rappels. Then, after the fifth rappel, we go big: the next rappel is the biggest of the day, dropping 155 feet (48 meters) into a pool inside a hidden canyon.
Deep in the canyon you’ll find more natural swimming holes to plunge into and waterfalls to explore before the hike out, which takes about 30 minutes and is fairly steep. Back at base camp, you can officially say “I am a canyoneer” and check this one off your bucket list.

- 4×4 safari ride, 2 zip lines, waterfall rappels including the 155-foot drop, and all safety equipment.
