No. This experience is designed to welcome first-time canyoners as well as adventurous guests. Your guide fits the safety equipment, explains the correct technique and body position, and gives you a full briefing before entering the canyon, with support throughout the course.

On the Behana Gorge course, the jumps, slides and abseils are optional, so you can choose the challenges that suit your confidence on the day. Guides set the pace and show alternative ways through where available. If conditions require the tour to use another canyon, the activity mix and bypass options may differ.

The tour runs at a supportive group pace and works well for many first-timers. You should still be comfortable on your feet for an active few hours of walking, wading, swimming, climbing over uneven rocks and moving through flowing water. A reasonable level of mobility and fitness will help you enjoy every part of the course.

You do not need advanced swimming skills, but basic water confidence is required. A life jacket is provided and guides support you throughout, but you must be comfortable moving through pools and flowing water and able to follow instructions.

Behana Gorge is the planned setting for most departures, with waterfalls, natural slides, jumps and rainforest pools forming the course. The final location is chosen according to water levels and weather, and some early departures may use Crystal Cascades. This keeps the experience matched to the best available conditions, although the exact activities can vary.

A securely mounted hands-free action camera can be used if you bring the correct attachment. Handheld phones and cameras are not practical while moving through water and over rocks. The guides also capture photos and video during the experience, with optional media packages available to purchase.

Contact lenses are the recommended option because the course includes swimming, splashing and fast-moving water. Ordinary prescription glasses can be difficult to keep secure and are carried at your own risk.

Bring a water bottle and a light snack if you would like something during the approximately 5.5-hour experience. A meal is not included.
