“We did the canyoning and rafting. The guide took us in an open jeep to the start point, then through the canyons, in and out of the streams / rivers and over some rocks/boulders. The tour guide was great fun, getting us to dunk under the water and have a laugh along the way. Reasonable fitness required for the canyoning part due to some tough terrain - large boulders to go up/down on and between, but the guide did help anyone who needed it. 500m swim at the end in the crystal clear river to where the rafting started. Rafting was again great fun, and lasted quite a few hours…”
