“Bardzo polecam każdemu, kto nie boi się zamoczyć i skoczyć do wody z wyższej wysokości. Wystarczy przebrać się w kostium kąpielowy, cały pozostały sprzęt dostajemy na miejscu. Nie radzę brać telefonów do robienia fotek, ponieważ nie ma gdzie go schować. Ewentualnie można wziąć GoPro, ale przewodnik robi nagrania niektórych ślizgów i soków. Zaczynamy 25 min trekkingiem w głąb wąwozu, następnie wciskamy się w neoprenowy strój (to chyba najtrudniejsza część wycieczki) i zaczynamy świetną zabawę! Dzięki za super atrakcję, którą na pewno powtórzę.Read more”
