What are you signing up for?

Imagine being submerged in deep blue glacier water surrounded by beautiful, curved cliff walls! You’ve got chills just thinking about it right!? Don’t worry, even if we can’t guarantee that you will not experience the cold at some point, we provide wetsuits to keep you safe and comfortable!

We will begin the day with a short training where you will learn some fundamental swift water swimming techniques. You MUST possess strong swimming ability, and be comfortable in moving water.

Then, enjoy whizzing through the air into the depths of the canyon on a 30-meter zipline! Once in the canyon we will harness our newfound skills and float/swim through the canyon, stopping along the way for a few jumps and ziplines if the conditions permit.

Expect to:

Rappel into a 30 meter deep canyon Float all the way out A physically intensive swimming experience Some small cliff jumps Playful zip lines that send you straight into the water Always be supported by your guide. Jump in the canyon
