"The canyon trip was fantastic. Very challenging for less experienced canyoners. Fun jumps (from 4 to 11 meters) and lots of abseiling. The last section was the biggest challenge, but there you can also opt for the escape walk. The guide was very cheerful and friendly, but also strict when necessary. He also spoke very good English."
