The Blue Mountains boasts the most extensive wet sandstone canyoning system on earth. This full day canyoning and abseiling adventure is the perfect way for beginners to experience this amazing landscape and the exciting sport of canyoning. Learn the skill of abseiling in the morning, beginning with short practice abseils before attempting more challenging rappels, and then descend through a spectacular canyon in the afternoon.
In summer, you’ll trek, swim, jump and scramble through the world-famous Empress Canyon. The journey will take you deep inside the sandstone cliff, concluding with an exhilarating waterfall abseil down Empress Falls. In the cooler months (typically May to September), the canyoning program is extended to include the popular Juggler Canyon. This means less water and no swimming required, but instead more abseils!
