Canyoning is a recognised adventure activity in Australia, particularly in the soft sandstone canyons of the Blue Mountains and Wollemi regions. Canyons are essentially narrow grooves and slots in the sandstone, which have been eroded by rapid water movement over millions of years.
While some canyons in the Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Parks are up to 20 metres wide, others are very narrow and may be less than 2 metres wide in places. Some canyons are well over 100 metres deep, receiving sunlight on the canyon floor for just a few minutes each day.
Throughout Spring and Summer, canyoning offers a great way to explore the hidden depths of these natural wonders, while at the same time, enjoying the fun and adventure of an exciting activity. Canyoning usually involves jumping into pools, wading and swimming, climbing and scrambling over log jams and abseiling through waterfalls.
There are many canyons in the Blue Mountains and Wollemi regions and there is enough variety to cater for all levels of experience and fitness. Some canyons are seasonally dry, while others can be enjoyed while floating on a lilo or inflatable mattress.
Canyoning participants must be capable swimmers and be prepared for plenty of fun. Besides canyoning trips for beginners, we also offer intermediate and advanced canyoning activities.
