Serendipity Canyon - Grade: Moderate 

8:00 am - 5:00 pm

After a 1/2 hour easy grade bush walk a 15 meter abseil takes you to down to creek level and it's lush temperate rain-forest.

As you progress along the creek via a series of abseils up to 20 metres high you will find the canyon walls gradually begin to rise up each side of the creek.

After a magnificent tunnel section you will arrive at the beautiful Wollangambe river. Then it's time for a late lunch and a play in the warmer waters of the main river, before a casual one hour walk back to the car.

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

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

We are the only company to offer accommodation packages.
