Frequently Asked Questions

You will get wet! Get up close and personal with the waterfall by climbing then abseiling/rappelling Twin Falls Canyon.

The first part of this tour is the same as our Level 1 cable climb. You will learn how to use the climbing equipment at the base and then climb on our purpose-built cable course.

You will walk along our cliff-side trail to the right-hand waterfall, and learn abseil skills before abseiling the beautiful waterfalls.

No previous abseiling or climbing experience is required on the tour, but good fitness is. Bring your sense of adventure and get ready for some fun!

No swimming is required as the deepest pools are only waist deep.

There are no jumps! Our canyon is purely traveled by abseiling.

Every outdoor activity has an element of risk. We operate in a mountain environment and there are risks that are out of our control. Canyoning also adds an element of risk in dealing with water. Your safety on the trip is our highest priority. Our guides are experienced, professional, and qualified to run all activities. You will get a full safety briefing before the trip starts and difficult tasks will be demonstrated to make sure you understand what we want you to do. The gear is of a high standard and subject to regular inspections.

As the canyon is situated high above the waterfall, spectators are unable to see much of the action. However, as the canyoners make their way down, you can see them descending the lower sections. If you are interested in watching the finish of the tour, please get in touch and we can arrange to let you in the gate as it will be otherwise locked.

Required:

  • Hiking clothes - avoid cotton which makes you colder when wet. Clothes designed for outdoors/ exercise e.g. polypropylene, thermal, Quick-dry, and wool.

  • Your bathing suit for under the wetsuit

  • Sturdy shoes you are prepared to get wet. Shoes should have closed toes and be reasonably sturdy as the terrain in and around the canyon can be slippery and uneven. Running shoes or light trekking boots are good. NO sandals, jandals, “five-finger” shoes or wetsuit booties.

  • Full water bottle

  • If you require medication during the activities please bring sufficient supplies, your guide can keep it safe and dry for you.

  • Bring your sense of adventure!

We have GoPro mounts on some of our helmets you can use at your own risk, but any other cameras are not permitted (they will get very wet and can easily get damaged or lost).

Contact lenses are fine, make sure you bring a spare set. Glasses are not ideal but can be worn if they are attached with a strap and please bring a hard case. We can’t take responsibility for loss or damage to your glasses.
