Had a great time with guide Brig and the other participants on this adventure down Gibbston Valley. It isn't for the faint hearted but I always felt safe due to Brig's instruction, encouragement and the detailed safety briefing. A great experience - I picked it for what was forecast to be a wet weather afternoon as an ant weather activity (when you are wet, you are wet). Highly recommend.

Our favorite activity yet! We were first timers and Brig our guide was great and made us feel at ease and safe the entire time! This was a challenging activity but as long as you are confident and have a level of fitness and flexibility give it a try..my partner was apprehensive as she has fear of heights, but she was able to do this and felt a level of accomplishment after that she never felt before. Thank you Brig and highly recommend!!
