The World Heritage listed Blue Mountains boasts the most extensive wet sandstone canyoning system on earth. This one day abseiling and canyoning adventure is the ideal way for beginners to experience this amazing landscape and the exciting sport of canyoning! Learn the skill of abseiling in the morning (beginning at 8:45am) with your experienced guides - a great adventure on its own - and then descend through a Blue Mountains Canyon in the afternoon!
In summer, you’ll trek, swim, jump, scramble and abseil through the world famous Empress Canyon! In the cooler months (typically May to September) the canyoning program is extended to include the very popular Juggler Canyon. This means less water and no swimming required in the cooler months, but more abseils!
