Kangaroo Point Cliffs Abseiling morning

5.00Jared was friendly, inviting and his safety brief was spot on. His demonstration with the ropes, safety line and what to do on the rocks if we ended up upside down (which one of us did) was easy to understand, direct and to the point. The abseiling was awesome, a 20 meter drop seemed short but we managed to have about 8 turns each which was great (we ran back up the stairs to the top of the cliffs) . Would highly recommend and would definitely go again with friends, thanks Jared for a fun morning.
Great action for a nice Sunday afternoon.

3.00If you have abseiled before, you may be disappointed. Only had one instructor and needed an additional. One overseas couple too focussed on taking posing photos and safety was compromised. Also made things very slow.
Have fun with Layton

A Birthday Treat (Bucket List Item)

5.00On Sunday 3 generations of our family (mother, daughter and granddaughter) took the plunge at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, something I wanted to do for a long time. A birthday was the perfect occasion. Although we were a bit nervous, our instructor Jarrod made the whole experience much less daunting than initially thought. He explained the procedure in a way that each of us could understand well and made us feel at ease. In the end my 9 year old granddaughter and myself abseiled 3x and my daughter twice. It felt like a private event for us, as we were the only participants that morning. We will cherish the moments on the cliff face forever! Thank you Riverlife Adventure Centre.
Awesome instructor

5.00We had an awesome time abseiling and Lleyton was an outstanding instructor. It was the first time for us all so a little daunting but Lleyton made it a lot of fun (and calmed the nerves!). Testament to Lleyton that everyone in our party went straight back up for another go!
⭐ 1/5 — Very Disappointing Abseiling Experience at Riverlife Adventure Centre

2.00I recently went to Riverlife Adventure Centre for the abseiling experience with my two kids, and it was a huge disappointment. We spent almost two hours just waiting for our turn, as the group size was far too large for a single instructor to manage effectively. The equipment was outdated and poorly maintained. There were no proper systems for kids — they were given adult gear that was way too big for them. The helmets were extremely dirty, uncomfortable, and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in ages. When the instructor finally brought out a basket of gloves, that was the final straw — they were the cheapest possible gloves, full of holes, filthy, and clearly reused over and over. There were no gloves sized for children, so my kids had to wear huge adult gloves that were practically useless. It was clear that nobody cares about the condition or cleanliness of the gear. For the price we paid for just a couple of minutes of abseiling, the value was terrible. The experience felt unsafe, disorganised, and poorly managed. I will never return and do not recommend Riverlife Adventure Centre to anyone — especially families with kids.
