Canyoning Adventure: Waterfall Jumps & Natural Slides Tour

Summary

Jump, slide, & laugh through wild rivers with local guides

You’ll follow clear rivers with local guides, try abseiling down rocks, slide into natural pools, and maybe even take a leap if you’re feeling bold. Expect laughter, cold water on your skin, safety checks that actually matter, plus photos to remember it all by—if you want them. It’s playful but real adventure.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t really know what canyoning was until we pulled up by this river — you could hear it before you saw it, just this steady rush behind the trees. Our guide, Marta, handed out wetsuits and helmets while joking about how everyone looks cooler in neoprene (not true in my case). The air smelled sharp and green. I fumbled with my harness a bit — apparently I’m not a natural at buckles — but Marta checked everything twice and gave us this little pep talk that made it feel less like a dare and more like a game.

The first abseil down the rocks was honestly scarier than I expected. My hands were shaking but the rope felt solid, and there was this weird moment halfway down where the spray hit my face and suddenly I wasn’t thinking about anything except how cold and alive it felt. We slid over smooth stones into deep pools — some people jumped right in without hesitating. I needed a second (or two), but the group cheered me on. One of the guides snapped photos as we went; I’m pretty sure he caught me mid-scream on one of the bigger drops. There’s something sort of freeing about not caring how you look when you’re half underwater anyway.

We stopped for a break on a sun-warmed boulder, just letting our feet dangle in the water. Someone tried to pronounce the river’s name properly — Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin (I probably butchered it). The whole thing felt less like an extreme sport and more like being a kid again, sliding around and getting soaked. By the end, we were all shivering but grinning at each other. I still think about that last jump — standing on slippery rock with my heart pounding, then just letting go.
