My kids had the most amazing rock climbing experience with Riverlife. There were various routes of ascending grades and so suitable for my daughter and son who are experienced rock climbers and for those who have never tried rock climbing before. The Riverlife team were so welcoming, friendly, professional and most importantly so passionate about their sport and what they do. They really wanted everyone to succeed and have a great experience and this really shone through. I would highly recommend Riverlife.

This was such an awesome experience! Our tour guide Daniel was lovely and helped us heaps during the tour - he also went the extra mile and let us climb for an hour longer so that we could try all the routes. Would highly recommend for the avid adventurer, but does seem to require a good level of fitness/endurance.

We did the abseiling and it was thrilling. Lukka was an amazing guide. He coached us when we were nervous and let us have fun when we got the hang of it (pardon the pun). Easily accessible from the amazing city ferry. Highly recommended!
Challenging And Rewarding Experience!

What a cool experience! You need to check in at the Riverland kiosk, it's a short brisk walk from the free parking lot. As soon as we were briefed and harnessed up, we were on the way to climb! Let me just say, this was a challenge! For anyone who loves rock climbing they should definitely do it, it's so rewarding when you reach the top! They teach you how to hold your partners weight too and you repel them down. I loved it, I am in shape, and I was sweating at the end!

My partner and I went to do rock climbing for two hours. Very friendly staff members, especially our instructor Tyler who was very patient with us despite our lack of experience and took good care of us during our time. Tyler maximised our time climbing and helped us out to get us as high up as we could. It was my partner’s first time climbing and now she wants to continue. It’s also a great location with amazing views!
