Outing Highlights
Four guided abseils through a classic Blue Mountains canyon
The itinerary revolves around four abseils delivered by guides who provide an abseiling lesson on the day, so prior experience is not required; the sequence is the trip’s technical spine and the reason most people come.
Short swims and a scenic creek walk
Between abseils the route opens into a pleasant stretch of creek with a few short swims and a creek walk that give the outing variety and moments for cooling off in the mountain water.
An optional jump for the brave
Beyond the ropes and swims there’s an optional jump from ‘jump rock’ for those who want a memorable finishing flourish; participation is voluntary and intended for confident guests.
