Fun tour with rappelling, jumps & slides in a river canyon
This is a unique experience, where you will be able to spend half a day moving down a river canyon using a variety of safe techniques such as;
– Jumping and sliding into crystal clear pools
– Rappelling down between sheer rock faces and down waterfalls.
We begin by meeting on location, getting you geared up and briefed on safety. As we set off we will walk through the nurseries of trees planted by locals of the Forestry Association of Austur-Skaftafellinga.
This trip is built for all who can move with ease for half a day, walking on uneven trails and being confident in water. We will take you through and practice the techniques that will be required to get down the canyon safely on the day. Previous canyoning experience is NOT necessary.
