What To Expect
EMPRESS CANYON A fantastic abseiling/canyon combination, one of the Blue Mountains' best! The first half of the day is abseiling, starting with a 5-metre-high cliff and building up to 30-metre-high cliffs during the morning. After a gourmet lunch it’s a scenic 20-minute walk to the start of the canyon. Wade into the creek that descends the narrow, slot-like canyon and within a few seconds you are jumping into a rock pool, the first of several jumps and swims (don't worry, we provide wetsuits!). This canyon is an exciting affair with water jumps, exhilarating swims, waterslides and fantastic scenery. The final descent out of the canyon is one of the best waterfall abseils in the mountains. Clip into the rope, step back and follow the 30-metre waterfall down to the deep rock pool below. This is not just a brilliant waterfall abseil but also a fantastic photo opportunity.

5.00One of the most surreal experiences of my life. I was scared yet had so much fun! My wife and I did this back in December (late in posting the review) but an amazing experience from the word go. I would 100% recommend this to everyone who is in Sydney. It can be scary but put your trust in the more than capable guides. You will love it!

5.0012/10 experience. We had Brian and Zol as our tour guides, and they were fantastic. As a first time canyaneer, I was a little slow to throw myself over the canyon voluntarily, but Brian eased me through it. The views, walk through the rain forest leading up to the waterfall and food were wonderful. One of my favorite days in Australia so far! From someone who loves the outdoors, this is the perfect tour to see what the blue mountains are made of.
Adventurous but anyone can do it

5.00Canyoning and jumping into pools is so fun and exhilarating and a bit frightening but its great to challenge yourself. Abseling the 30m waterfall is definitely the hightlight.
5 star experience!

5.00We were lucky enough to be the only ones booked on the day (08th September), and Brian was a great guide and helped us have a great time through the day. We came all the way from Sydney for this activity alone, and it was very well worth the travel. (Side Note: anyone wanting to do this as day activity, is very doable. Uber one way, train on the way back). Abseiling the first half of the day, followed by a lunch break (with plenty options for vegetarian/vegan) and then Canyoning. Will be back again for sure! Got some great pictures, and overall 5 stars!
