Great day trip!

The tour was great! It was harder than expected - slippery and very steep on some parts - but it was so much fun! And it’s definitely doable, you just have to trust yourself. Dan was a great guide as well!

So much fun!!

It is the my first time to do canyoning. The instructor is very knowledgable about the water fall and the mountain around the island. He took a good care of everyone in the tour. Very clear instruction for what to do in every check points. We have so much fun and the scenery are really awesome!!
