ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

The Serpent's Tail Canyon is green and secluded, with water so clean you could acutally drink it. Once you're off the main trails, it is unlikely you'll see another soul until you exit the canyon. This tour begins with an hour of easy hiking. To descend the stream you'll drop down one 9m free hanging rope lower, fly down one of our ziplines and then learn to rappel on a nice 4m waterfall facing slab. From here, you'll then tackle a 9m rappel through the water into our slide pool. Then our canyon climaxes with a 25m rappel that sends you through a curtain of cascading water. There are numerous places to swim in the clear waters of this valley as we make our way back to the cars. For those who still want some action, there is a jump pool right beside the very place we started. This tour is ideal for canyoning first timers. It is also ideal for those who are not confident swimming through deep pools. If you've been living in South Korea for a while, this venue gives you a real opportunity to escape the crowds and swim in a wilderness location away from all those frustrating 'No Swimming' signs.
