Canyoning in The Crags: Abseiling, Cliff Jumping & Zip Lining
You'll rappel down rock faces, jump off cliffs and zip line across a river canyon in a single afternoon.
Canyoning in The Crags is a guided activity where you abseil, cliff jump and zip line down an ancient canyon carved through indigenous forest. Two registered canyon guides lead groups of all fitness levels. All safety gear, wetsuits and harnesses are provided. You arrive an hour early for gear fitting and a safety briefing, then spend two hours moving through the canyon by rope, water and air. Morning and afternoon departures run on the same day, and the experience suits ages 8 and up.

The experience
The activity starts with an hour of preparation at base camp: fitting your helmet, wetsuit, life vest and harness, then a safety briefing from your two guides on how each section works. Once geared up, you move into the canyon itself. The route takes you down the river through natural forest, and you'll use ropes to abseil down rock faces, jump from designated cliff points into pools below, and zip line across sections where the canyon narrows. Between the technical sections you swim and hike, so the two hours mix rope work, water time and walking in equal measure.
All equipment is included in the activity cost: helmet, wetsuit, life vest and harness are fitted to you at base camp and checked by your guides before you start. The guides stay with your group throughout, managing the rope systems and timing each section so everyone moves safely. If you want photos of yourself on the ropes or mid-jump, your guides take them along the way and you can purchase prints afterward. Bring a towel for the hot shower available after you finish. The base camp has facilities to rinse off before you leave.
You'll need to arrive at base camp a full hour before your booking time to allow for gear fitting and the safety brief. This is a firm requirement, not a suggestion. Public transportation options run to the area, though you'll need to arrange your own ride to base camp. Shoes for water work can be rented on-site if you don't have them. The activity runs in both morning and afternoon slots, so you can choose the time that fits your day.
Is this one for you?Book the morning slot if you want the rest of your day free afterward, or the afternoon departure if you're staying nearby and prefer a later start. Either way, arriving a full hour early for gear fitting means the guides can check everything twice before you enter the canyon, which is what keeps the rope work and jumps safe for all ages and fitness levels.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Youth (17 to 18 years); Child (8 to 16 years). Children under 8 can't be included in the booking.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What exactly happens during the two hours in the canyon?
You abseil down rock faces using ropes, jump from cliff points into water pools, zip line across sections of the canyon, swim between technical sections, and hike along the river. The two guides manage the rope systems and time each part so the group moves safely through all three types of movement.
Do I need to be fit or experienced to do this canyoning activity?
The activity suits all physical fitness levels, and no prior experience is needed: your guides teach you how to use the equipment and move through each section. The minimum age is 8 years old, and children that age are welcome if they're comfortable in water and following instructions.
What do I need to bring, and what's provided?
The activity provides helmet, wetsuit, life vest and harness. You bring a towel for the hot shower afterward and wear clothes you don't mind getting wet. Shoes for water work can be rented at base camp if you don't have water shoes or sandals, and you'll arrange your own transport to base camp since public options run nearby but not directly to the site.
Why do I need to arrive an hour early?
The first hour is for gear fitting (your helmet, wetsuit, life vest and harness are adjusted to fit you properly), and a safety briefing where your guides explain how each section of the canyon works and what to expect from the ropes, jumps and zip line.
Can I get photos from inside the canyon?
Your two guides take photos of you on the ropes, at the cliff jumps and on the zip line as you move through the canyon. You can purchase prints of those photos after the activity ends.
Are morning and afternoon trips the same experience?
Both morning and afternoon departures follow the same route and include the same activities: abseiling, cliff jumping, zip lining, swimming and hiking. The only difference is the time of day. You choose whichever slot fits your schedule.
