What can I expect on the day?
What can I expect on the day?
You will get wet! Get up close and personal with the waterfall by climbing then abseiling/rappelling Twin Falls Canyon.
The first part of this tour is the same as our Level 1 cable climb. You will learn how to use the climbing equipment at the base and then climb on our purpose-built cable course.
You will walk along our cliff-side trail to the right-hand waterfall, and learn abseil skills before abseiling the beautiful waterfalls.
No previous abseiling or climbing experience is required on the tour, but good fitness is. Bring your sense of adventure and get ready for some fun!
How safe is it?
How safe is it?
Every outdoor activity has an element of risk. We operate in a mountain environment and there are risks that are out of our control.
Canyoning also adds an element of risk in dealing with water. Your safety on the trip is our highest priority.
Our guides are experienced, professional, and qualified to run all activities. You will get a full safety briefing before the trip starts and difficult tasks will be demonstrated to make sure you understand what we want you to do.
The gear is of a high standard and subject to regular inspections.

Can I bring my camera?
Can I bring my camera?
We have GoPro mounts on some of our helmets you can use at your own risk, but any other cameras are not permitted (they will get very wet and can easily get damaged or lost).
