“Amelia was super dope! She was personable, kind, encouraging, and honestly her excitement to teach how to properly do canyoning is what helped me get through my hesitation to make the jumps because I was a little nervous lol. I’d encourage anyone thinking about doing this to hit the reserve button asap no rocky. This team is professional, compassionate to situations (I was late because the train got cancelled), and kind in general. DO THIS ADVENTURE!”
