🌄 CANYONING ADVENTURE DETAILS:

📍 Meeting Point: YHA Katoomba
🕣 Time: 8:30am
⏳ Duration: ~8 hours
📅 Date: Saturday 21 June

You will spend the morning Abseiling up to 30 metres. We start with a smallish 5 metre abseil. If you have abseiled before this abseil gets you back in the swing of things. If you have never abseiled before it teaches you the technique of abseiling. From here we head straight on to 15 to 30 metre abseils which you can do a couple of times.

This takes us up until about midday when we break for our famous lunch.

After lunch, you will travel to the Grose Valley, north of Katoomba. A short walk takes you to the first of 5 abseils up to 20-metres high. The canyon is narrow, steep and spectacular!

A 45-minute walk with stunning views brings us back to the car.

We'll be back in Sydney around 7pm.

More details about the Canyoning trip and Q&As:

Our Winter Canyons run between May and August. These Canyons have been selected because they are beautiful and "mostly" dry. All you need to do is dress for the weather, bring running shoes you can get wet, a litre of water and a camera. Lunch is included on all our full day trips. Breakfast is also included if you are staying at the YHA Katoomba.

Established in 1989, the Canyoning provider we work with has taken over 100,000 people on adventures ranging from a 3-hour abseil session to multi-day snow and ice climbing courses.

They are fully insured and licensed by National Parks and Blue Mountains City Council.

Please note that if you are travelling by train it is a beautiful scenic 2 hour ride from Sydney. The train normally leaves central between 6:13am and 6:25am (please check prior to the day). Alternatively, you can stay at YHA Katoomba, a hotel or an Airbnb the night before.

Where do I meet?

At their office located inside the Blue Mountains YHA.

207 Katoomba Street, Katoomba 2780. A 5-minute walk from Katoomba Train Station. Free all day parking around the back of the hostel.

What do I bring?

Dress for the weather, wear running or hiking shoes and bring water and camera. For Canyoning bring running shoes to get wet, swimsuit and waterproof camera. If you don’t have one we supply a waterproof camera free of charge. We also have helmets fitted with Go Pro mounts.

Do you have a left luggage area?

Yes! you can leave your luggage at their office.

What’s included?

Our full day trips include all technical equipment (abseil gear, wetsuit, waterproof backpack, climbing shoes), lunch and transport from our office. We also include a waterproof camera for the group.

Is there an age limit?

We have had people from 6yo to 86yo participate in our adventures. Generally, we have a minimum age of 14yrs for the Summer Canyoning trips. If you have kids under this age please contact us to see if the canyon would be suitable.

Do I need to be fit?

You can get away with average fitness on most of our adventures apart from the Long Day Canyons. For these, you need better than average fitness.(if you're unsure please ask at the time of booking)

Is it weather dependant?

We still run Abseiling, Canyoning and Survival courses in light rain. We do need fine weather for Rock climbing.

Do you provide free car-parking?

Yes, free parking available.

Who are the guides?

Our guides are outdoor enthusiasts with a passion for taking others into our remote and beautiful environment. Minimum qualifications include Certificate 3 in Canyoning, First Aid and Bronze medallion. Between them, they have hundreds of years experience.

Do you cater for vegetarians?

Yes we do, please ask at time of booking

Can non-swimmers participate in Canyoning?

Yes, we have had non-swimmers successfully complete canyoning in the past. The waterproof backpack and wetsuit that we supply acts as a buoyancy device. Always contact the office for advice prior to booking.
