Ethan Carerra, 07 Jun 24
Paige and Spencer were super awesome! Got lucky and had a small group of 5 of us. We did the 8, 10, and 12 meter jumps and all the slides and abseiling. I’ve never cliff jumped in my life and they made me feel very safe and confident. My favorite tour in my month of traveling on the east coast!
Beth Chambers, 24 May 24
We did the half day canyoning tour at Behana Falls, we had such a fantastic time. All the instructors were so funny and lovely, did a great job at making sure everyone was happy and comfortable whilst also pushing you to try things at your pace. It was an action packed day and we had so much fun and a good laugh! Nice size of group, everyone encouraging each other and helping out. Would absolutely recommend to any thrill seekers

If you're keen for an adventurous half day trip, then you can't go past these guys! Pete and Marcio were great guides! Always made everyone feel safe and ensured we had options, if something was a little challenging. and they are such funny characters! Behana Gorge is a stunning place of natural beauty. The waterfall and rapids were flowing with all the recent rain we had so made for quite the adventure! From cliff jumping, rock climbing, rappelling and river rapid cruising, it was so much fun. Highly recommend it for a half day trip!
