Canyoning in the Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains has over 900 amazing slot canyons. Our canyons are deep and narrow, carved over millions of years by rivers cutting through the sandstone plateau.

High and Wild canyoning adventures involve swimming, jumping into pristine pools of water, abseiling through waterfalls and stunning bushwalks. Think of them as a water park for adults! We have canyons to suit all levels of experience and fitness.

Summer canyoning runs from September until April. We supply wetsuits, waterproof backpacks, waterproof cameras and all the technical gear required to safely descend the canyon. From May until August we run our winter canyons. These involve all of the adventure and excitement of the summer canyons without getting wet.

Our full-day canyoning adventures all include our famous gourmet lunch.

Full Day Canyoning Tours in Blue Mountains

Full Day Serendipity Canyoning
Serendipity means an unexpected pleasant discovery – a good description of this beautiful Mt Wilson canyon. High and Wild canyoning adventures involve swimming, jumping into pristine pools of water, abseiling through waterfalls and stunning bushwalks.

Full Day Abseiling & Canyoning Empress Canyon
A fantastic abseiling/canyon combination, one of the Blue Mountains' best! The first half of the day is spent abseiling, beginning with small cliffs and building up to those more challenging ones. After an included lunch walk to the start of the canyon, wade into a creek, and jump into a rock pool. After some exhilarating water jumps and swims, abseil out of the canyon and into the rock pool below.

Full Day Whungee Whengee Canyoning
Another gem among Blue Mountains canyons. Deep, dark and mysterious, Whungee Wheengee is without a doubt one of the very best canyons you'll find anywhere. There are abseils, glowworm lit tunnel swims, rock scrambling, water jumps and duckunders.
