Monday 27th July - family trips

SUMMER FUN FOR FAMILIES

After a weekend of big thrills and high water levels, today the pace changed just a little in Minakami to cater for several families in the lower sections of Nosehair Canyon.

A short hike through some picturesque native bush will bring you to the base of "Nosehair Falls", an impressive 40m waterfall. Below the falls is the start of the natural water park that is Nosehair Canyon. Explore behind small waterfalls and slide down naturally carved chutes, swim in the crystal clear water and float through deep pools. A refreshing half day in an incredibly beautiful canyon.

Nosehair Canyon is our most popular half day canyoning tour for families and for a good reason. It has a little bit of everything that makes canyoning great; jumps, slides and swims. It is a great first time canyon for families of varying abilities and thrill levels. Those who want to take it easy can be given easier options (mums and younger kids?) with plenty of flexibility to crank the thrills up a notch (older kids and dads?).

Swimming is not essential but water confidence is a must. (must be able to put head under the water)
