Torrent River Canyoning - Full Day

We can take non-swimmers but it is very important that you tell us when you book. The wetsuits make you float really well so as long as you are a happy floater you can come. High flow trips and certain advanced trips are not recommended for non-swimmers. We have an almost dry canyon where you’ll only get wet up to your waist. Please contact us to discuss the options.

Jumps and slides are always optional. We want to work together with you to find out where your limits are. If a jump or slide is just that little bit too high or fast for you, then we’ll find you an easier option or we are also happy to let you abseil or lower you down instead.

No. You just have to be keen to try something new. On the more advanced trips it helps to have some climbing or abseiling experience. At the start of each trip you’ll receive a full safety briefing and an opportunity to practice abseiling outside the canyon.

All you need to bring is a swim suit, a towel and a pair of shoes that you don’t mind getting wet. For the walk up to the canyons just wear shorts and a t-shirt and bring a warm top for the water taxi rides. Shoes should have closed toes and be reasonably sturdy as the terrain in and around the canyon can be slippery and uneven. Running shoes or light trekking boots are good, NO sandals, jandals, “fivefinger” shoes or wetsuit booties. We have a bin full of spare shoes for people who don’t have their own or if the guides think they are not suitable but please always bring some footwear in case we don’t have your size. If you require medication during the activities please bring sufficient supplies, your guide can keep it safe and dry for you. If you combine the trips in Abel Tasman National Park with walking or sea kayaking then you should also bring gear for that.

We sure can. When you make your booking either online or via phone please inform us of your special dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, nut free….you name it) and we’ll make sure you are looked after.

After your canyoning trip we upload the full quality photos and videos on our dropbox account. Once that is done we will send you the link via email so you can download them on your computer. Every now and again we get a back log so please be patient. The link stays active for a few months so if you’re a long term traveler then forward the link to someone at home who can download the files for you.

There is a safe place in Anchorage to leave your personal belongings during the Torrent River and Falls River canyoning trip. Alternatively, we can store small items in a safe at the Aqua Taxi base. For all other trips we recommend leaving your valuables at your accommodation as the vehicles in the car parks are the only place to store them.
