“It needs to be more accurately described as it is extremely difficult for beginners and most people might not expect how much strength and fitness is actually involved. Fear of heights or claustrophobia? Might want to avoid this... There is a lot of hard climbs, both up and down and it is quite physical even before one reaches the water. It is an amazing experience though with a magnificent canyon, breathtaking views, well worth the money and led by a very competent and friendly team. We had an amazing time even if the legs were quite tired the next day! Keep it in mind when planning your week out, a…”

For instance, if you're not going to jump from the 5-meter rock, you can walk around. Do not forget to prepare a towel, an extra t-shirt, and sneakers in addition to your flip-flops. In case you want to film the trip, you need a GoPro camera or something waterproof. Be ready, the whole tour will take about 7 hours.”

“The tour was good. The landscape was amazing. The tour group was to big, the guides couldn‘t look after everyone. Also we booked the basic tour and not the extreme one. But the groups were all together. The only difference was that we had to climbe down the rocks and the other tour could get down by rope. So there were a few times were we had to wait for the extreme tour in the cold water. One time it was about 40 minutes. So all together it was a nice experience but i would not book it again.”
