About this experience
Marvel Canyoning is a half-day canyoning adventure at Sandun Ella Waterfall in Kitulgala, the rainforest town on the Kelani River best known for white-water rafting. With experienced adventure guides you work your way down a jungle stream canyon by jumping into pools, riding natural rock water slides and finishing with a 150-foot (45-metre) abseil beside the falls. The level is medium and beginners are welcome.
Highlights:
• A 150-foot (45-metre) abseil descent at Sandun Ella Waterfall
• Jumps into natural pools, the highest up to 45 feet
• Natural water slides of varying levels down smooth river rock
• A walk through a village and lush jungle to reach the canyon
Your guides collect you from your hotel in the Kitulgala area and take you by truck or tuk-tuk to the canyon. After a full safety briefing and training, and with all the safety equipment provided, a scenic hike through a village and the surrounding jungle brings you to the water.
From there the canyon is taken one obstacle at a time: jumps of different heights up to a heart-pounding 45-foot drop, and natural slides of varying levels. The finale is the abseil, a 45-metre (150-foot) descent at Sandun Ella that leaves most people with a real sense of accomplishment.
The whole outing takes four to five hours including transport, and you are dropped back at your hotel afterwards.
