Magic Mushroom Canyoning Tour

Magic Mushroom Canyoning Tour

This unforgettable canyoneering adventure includes rappels and jumps down some of the Caribbean's most spectacular waterfalls. Hike, rappel, jump and swim through the Magic Mushroom section of the Rio Blanco. A beautiful, unspoiled paradise, the tour highlights include a 150-foot rappel down the Magic Mushroom itself and a second rappel or optional 45-foot jump for a thrill perfect for adrenaline junkies! Tour operates from Cabarete, Sosua and Puerto Plata.

Canyoning differs from cascading in that it involves rappelling and is therefore slightly more technical and a little slower paced. You will start the day meeting your guide at the pickup location in Cabarete and start out on a beautifully scenic 45-minute drive to the base camp.

At the base camp you will meet the other guides who will get you geared up in a wet suit, harness, helmet and life preserver. A quick safety briefing is followed by a 10-minutes drive to the canyon entrance. The trip starts with a couple of easy jumps before you come upon the highlight of the day, the Magic Mushroom itself. Two intense rappels are followed by some great jumps that can be walked around if you are just in it for the rappels. For adrenaline junkies the second rappel can be jumped at 45 feet (15 meters)!

After a couple of hours in the river and a 25-minute hike out to the transport you will be ready to head for lunch and the drive back to Caberete, arriving at around 2:30pm in the afternoon.
