You start at the waterline where limestone falls into the sea, the scent of salt and pine riding the morning breeze. Guides brief the group, ropes click into harnesses, and the trail drops toward narrow channels where clear pools collect under vertical walls. Over the day you'll rappel down rock faces, clip a zip line to cross a water chute and climb back up via corda, moving between sunlit ledges and shaded gullies.
