Tour Overview

This Kawasan Falls canyoneering tour stands out by combining an adrenaline‑packed zipline start with a full canyoneering experience through one of the region’s most beautiful river systems. Designed for adventure seekers who want maximum action in one day, the tour takes you from hotel pickup through to a satisfying finish at a beachside restaurant.

Throughout the day, trained guides ensure your safety while helping you push your comfort zone at your own pace.
