Our hikes are private, you will NOT be paired up with other hikers.
Minimum 2 persons for this tour.
What makes this tour unique is that your guide will customize your experience based on your interests.
All guests will experience the same walk through the Metcalfe crevice, Duncan Caves and a break at the waterfall. However, your guide will work with you to customize the loop into the falls and back, giving you the ability to “choose your own adventure” on your way back. There are three different route options, varying in length from 8.5km to 10.5km (5hrs). Some offer more beautiful lookouts, others more cave and crevice exploration opportunities.
