We decided to join a canoe tour as we weren't confident with canoes by ourselves. They gave us a quick and friendly run through on what to do and all the safety rules, it was conforting to know they were concerned about safety. we then canoed along the gorges, it was absolutely amazing and would recommend it to anyone really wanting to explore this area, coneing is a lot less work than it looks. The company were easy to book with, it wasn't too expensive and they provided what they advertised so overall pretty happy.
