Once you get to the waterfall spot, it’s time for rappelling! Rappelling is a controlled descent down the rock face of the waterfall using a rope, harness and descending device. Their experts use the best quality equipment and make sure to thoroughly train every person that embarks on this adventure. After getting set up with your gear and going over the basics, the guide will lead you through a training that takes place on a hillside near the camp so you can get your bearings before experiencing the waterfall. Once everyone has mastered the skills, then it’s time to hike to the waterfalls and experience a one-of-a-kind rappelling adventure!
