Four runs on the same Class II–III canyon. Same gear, same guides, same briefing — the only thing that changes is how far upstream you start. All four finish at our basecamp. Most people book the 7–8 km.

~80 min · on water
200 ₾ / person
The longest run we do. Puts in 15 km upstream, above where every other run starts, and paddles the whole canyon down to camp. Same water and same service as the others — there is just more of it.
