Canyoning
An Adventure Through Granite Canyons and Natural Pools
Once geared up, you'll head into a spectacular granite canyon for 3.5 hours of pure fun and challenge. Each twist in the river brings a new feature—jumps into crystal-clear pools, ziplining across cascades, and scrambling through narrow chutes. The balance of adrenaline and natural beauty makes this trip unforgettable.
The adventure finishes with a royal slide into the iconic Cleopatra’s Pool, a hidden gem in the forest. After that, it’s a 30-minute scenic stroll back to Anchorage, where your water taxi awaits. It’s the kind of canyoning trip that delivers not only thrills, but memories you’ll be buzzing about for days.
