The experience
Not sure if a full day of canyoning is right for you, or worried the time commitment is too much? This half-day trip compresses the core of the experience into a shorter window. You meet your guide in the car park below the waterfall, change into your 5mm wetsuit and canyoning gear, then hike a short way up to the canyon entrance. Once everyone has arrived, you get a safety briefing and rope movement lessons before the canyon itself begins.
The adventure takes you through the lower section of Murrays Canyon as you abseil, jump, slide, swim and zipline your way down waterfalls, over rocks and through hidden swimming pools. The canyon is designed for all levels: families and thrill-seekers both find their moment here. Your guide, fully trained and speaking English or French, leads you through each section and handles the rope work. You focus on moving through the water and rock. The final abseil of the day deposits you back in the car park where you started.
Everything you need is included: a full 5mm canyoning wetsuit, helmet, harness, lanyards and descender, plus neoprene socks to keep your feet warm in the water. You'll also receive pictures of your day. The only thing to bring or arrange separately is footwear: your own shoes work fine for the hike and the car park, though many people leave them in the vehicle.
