The lower canyon might not be accessible due to fluctuating water levels. If this happens, you will be flown up in the helicopter to raft the middle section twice. We need a specific number of people to book the helicopter, so unfortunately you do not have the option to downgrade your tour if you cannot raft the lower canyon.
