0230 - Reached Grand Canyon. Entrance fee is 100B/person. Once we entered, we saw only there are only two jumping points. One is 1meter hight while another one is 7.5 meters high. We did the 1 meter first. Then I only did the 7.5 meters jump twice only as It was quite scary and climbing up is tiring. After that, we were playing tubing, floating seat and kayak which is free to use.
