This tour was what my husband and I looked forward to the most on our trip to Dominica. It fully met our expectations and beyond! Mandy and Jahlel were our guides and they did a great job!! They explained fully what we had to do and we felt safe at all times but had so much fun the entire time. This is a physical tour. You don't need to be in great shape, but you will be using your full body throughout the tour. The canyon is otherworldly beautiful and it was exhilarating to experience it via rappelling, jumping and swimming. We highly recommend doing this for an experience you will always remember!
Awesome canyoning

We had a fantastic time with Akeel, Caleb and Josh today. They are super patient with newbies and very pleasant gentlemen. Remember to save some juice for the walk out when you finish the canyon:)

A really fantastic experience. I definitely recommend this activity if you want to do something else than visiting the touristic highlights. The crew doing the tour are really great. The organization is professional and very well organized. Thanks.
Don’t hesitate to book this!

Amazing experience and guides were incredibly helpful and friendly. An experience everyone should do at least once. My 8 year old daughter said it was the favorite part of our trip. If you are afraid of heights or not adventurous this is probably not the experience for you. That 7 meter jump gives you a slight pause, but what a rush!
This tour was our...

This tour was our favorite activity from our honeymoon. All of our guides were friendly and entertaining while making sure our safety was their first priority. Being able to rent a go pro and record our adventure was an amazing touch and a shout out to Akeel for diving and searching for the go pro we dropped (wear the wristband if using the handhelds). We can't wait to return and go on another tour and if you're the adventurous type this is a must do!
The Best Guides! They Kept Us Alive, Tip Them!

First of all, the canyon, river, rainforest and scenery was all amazing. They aren’t responsible for the nature because god or whoever did that… but they did take full accountability for making sure none of us died even though some of us probably should have. After a quick drive from the meeting point this group lovingly swaddled each and every one of us in 14-ish layers of safety equipment. I wanted to take a nap, but that wasn’t what we signed up for. We were there to do extreme danger activities and this team was about to deliver. We were fitted with the sexiest of helmets and then it was time to head out into the rainforest to start jumping off some stuff. They did demonstrate how to repel before we left. There was also the opportunity to rent a GoPro in case you wanted to document your experience but every time I do danger activities I look extremely ugly in the photos and that’s how I know I’m having a superior excellent time. So we didn’t do that. Especially since they said we might see a python… I was totally prepared for one of us to be consumed by a giant snake and I’m sure it would have been whichever one of us had the GoPro. (Obviously.) We would never want to lose that deposit or inconvenience anyone with our untimely but on totally on-brand death by danger snake. Imagine doing this activity and somehow dying in an anaconda type mishap? Hilarious! Being lowered on a rope directly into the open mouth of a giant snake doesn’t even scare me half as much as losing a rented GoPro… or having to look at photos of myself badly repelling down a slippery rock while ugly crying, covered in mud. At least now when I remember it I can pretend I was being super awesome the whole time and not have all that reality get in the way. Anyway, off we went to repel down the steepest freaking canyons I’ve ever seen in my life. They also didn’t baby us. Like there were safety lines… but they needed to be engaged. If you didn’t have upper body strength you’d have to let them know so they could lower you down while you hung limply in shame. I’ve been repelling in waterfalls before and I guess I didn’t realize how much help I had been given in the past. None of that here. And imagine the embarrassment you’d experience if some guy 20 years older than you could do this and then you had to be lowered like a bundle of sweet, precious begonias. I’d rather die. In some cases we did get the choice to either repel 21 feet into water or just jump. In those cases I didn’t even ask questions, there was just a swoosh sound and a splash. 💦 I did wish the hike out of the clouds was a bit shorter or that there was a shame line we could have used in that case, but we all made it out and had a fantastic, epic day. Once again I have a story to upset and unsettle my coworkers. And this is what I actually live to do. So, if you want to have an awesome time book this tour. But please do not ask if you can tip the guides with Apple Pay and then embarrassingly give them $20. Don’t be a sociopath. It’s a pricey tour for good reason, these people literally swaddled us! They kept us alive. They are worth so much more than a $20 tip split 4 ways. To the crew that took care of us all day, thank you very much. My partner and I appreciated everything and also tipped you properly. I hope you get paid so much to do this job! You deserve it and after about a 6 month resting period we would love to do this again as soon as we forget how hard it was. But we really appreciated you all. Thank you for the awesome time.
One of a kind tour.

Akeel, Mandy & Jeffrey were excellent. I had never been canyoning before or jumped off of rocks into water and they made me feel confident that I would be able to do it. They were kind, entertaining and professional the entire time. This was an unbelievable experience with breathtaking views. And shoutout to Tanya as well!
