Get ready for a day like no other you’ve experienced (unless you been canyoning previously). This is a day full of fun in a truly unique setting. You will be geared up in a wetsuit and helmet and be led by expert guides along the canyon floor by either walking, swimming, jumping or sliding depending on the depth of the water.
Blue Mountains canyons have been created over thousands of years as the creek gradually erodes areas of soft sandstone leaving high walls on either side, spectacular boulders and creating a natural playground of water slides and jumps.
You will also get a tasty picnic lunch and enjoy a pleasant bushwalk to and from the canyon.
No previous experience is required.
