5Abseiling, Canyoning Empress Falls Blue Mountains
This was my husband’s & my first experience doing anything like this. We are both in our 60’s. The absailing was great fun, a great confidence booster as you worked up to higher levels, lots of emphasis on safety. Zol our guide was so so calm & patient to us. There were only 3 of us on this tour & we were joined by a lovely lovely American girl called Jen who was travelling through Australia. The canyoning was a real test for (mine) our fears. At the end we all managed to abseil the impressive 30 metre Empress Falls. When you get to the bottom & look up & see how high it is you really cannot believe you have abseiled something so high. You are allowed to feel a sense of pride in this accomplishment. This was a ‘very out of the box’ experience for my husband & I, I’m so proud of us both. Thanks again to Zol, for your experience, calmness, patience & alleviating all our fears. Jen, our American visitor said this had been the absolute highlight of her Australian holiday. Would highly recommend doing something like this if you want to live a little & step over those fears. Thanks! Jacqui & Rob Thomas
5Conquering fears with new friends
I’ve never done something like this but how can you visit the Blue Mountains and not do this adventure?? Made the entire trip to Australia so memorable.
5A MUST DO activity!!
An absolutely incredible experience in the Blue Mountains - Ben & Sol were amazing guides 🙌 With no canyoning experience, I was a little nervous at first. The adrenaline kicked in quickly & lifelong memories were made! Everything was taken care of for us: all the equipment, a delicious lunch & very clear instructions. This is a MUST do activity if you ever find yourself fortunate enough to be in or around the Blue Mountains 💙
4Amazing just know what you are signing up for
Canyoning was exciting and scary at times. The guides were knowledgeable but they didn’t always give you a heads up on things, like your rope being shorter so there being a need to jump in the end. But maybe this was done on purpose as it could scare people even more so. In any case, I would do it all over again so it’s more of a minor feedback.
5Amazing Experience
Our guides were phenomenal and helped every step of the way. You can tell they are professionals and stay patient! Swimming through the canyon with the final abseiling being a waterfall was the highlight!
5Loved every bit of it
One 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!

About Blue Mountains
A sandstone plateau west of Sydney, the Blue Mountains are carved into deep eucalyptus gorges, sheer cliffs and the rock towers of the Three Sisters.
The plateau rises behind Sydney in the Great Dividing Range, its edges broken into cliffs that fall away into forested valleys such as the Jamison and the Grose. Katoomba is the main town, and Echo Point looks across to the Three Sisters, a trio of sandstone pillars. The blue haze that gives the range its name is put down to a fine mist of eucalyptus oil in the air, and the surrounding region lies within a World Heritage area.
