Jeff was great, very knowledgeable and talkative. I had done canyoning before but it was my wife’s first time so there were a few jumps she didn’t do.

“This was an amazing adventure. Hiking through the river, going down natural water slides, jumping too many meters into pools of water and a little rappelling too. We were a family of five with kids ages 14, 12, and 10. The kids wanted to do it again but we’re leaving the island tomorrow. This adventure is not for the faint of heart and the hike up is a little work. It’s a short 30 minute hike but I had to carry the pack for my 10 year old up the mountain for 15-20 minutes.
