What our adventurers say

Best Adventure of My Entire Trip!

Canyoning in Crystal Cascades was epic! Everything I hoped it would be and more thanks to the awesome guides. They supply all the gear you need and make sure you're safe and have an awesome time. Rappelling down waterfalls, jumping off cliffs, sliding down and playing in waterfalls... get ready for some exhilarating fun that you won't forget anytime soon!

We had a great day Rapid Boarding!

Our cool calm and collected guide leader Keanu did a fantastic job of keeping us safe and running us through all the skill training necessary for the activity. The couple of people in our group that were less confident were really well taken care of and we all had a great experience with stunning views.

What an adventure!

Wasn't sure if the Crystal Canyon tour was going to be too full on or not, but Bazz took us under his wing and made the day super fun, and tested our mental prowess with abseiling, rock sliding, cliff jumping and zip lining. So glad we chose this tour as it pushed us out of our comfort zone. Cannot rate Bazz and his team highly enough.

Had the best time canyoning at Behana Gorge!

Was scared to start but started to build my confidence. The guides were amazing, funny, engaging, helpful, encouraging, supportive, intuitive. Thank you for helping us create amazing memories, experiences and push past our comfort zones!
