Canyoning (Confidence Jumps and natural water stream slides)

A “Canyon” is defined as a deep gorge, or large valley with steep sides, which usually has a river flowing along the bottom. ‘Canyoning’ is simply the act of traveling along the bottom and is therefore also known as ‘gorge walking’. Canyoning can involve any combination of hiking, abseiling, cliff jumping, swimming, rafting, etc.

The leap of confidence takes place in seven beautiful natural rock pools. Activities include descending a 5 meter sloping waterfall to the natural rock pool below, certainly with all safety equipment.

• Sliding down an inclined 5 meter waterfall with safety gear, into the rock pool
