Wollangambe 1 Canyon
Experience canyoning – walk, scramble, wade, swim and float your way down the Wollangambe River. This takes some effort but has rich rewards. Wetsuits and lilos are provided as the water is cool and you’re in it a long time. Float on the lilo and paddle through long sections where the canyon walls close right in to deep water. Picnic lunch at the water's edge. The exit track has a 4 m climb holding onto tree roots and a knotted rope, but this is done with a harness and top rope for extra security.
Yileen Canyon
Grade: Medium, Distance: 8 km, Time: 8 hrs, Max group size: 4, Meeting Point: Mt Wilson, 8.00 am Note: Available October - April
This is a spectacular and popular Blue Mountains canyon with crystal clear cool water and dark constrictions. There are five abseils, a few short swims, a walk through a narrow fern-lined slot, and then the final two abseils (40m and 10m) looking down into the Grose Valley far below - exhilarating!
The walk out is shorter than most other Blue Mountains canyons, so this is generally not as big a day out as some canyons.
