On arrival in Sydney we will be met by our experienced World Expeditions guide and head straight to the UNESCO world heritage listed Blue Mountains to the town of Katoomba, our home for the first part of our adventure. Once we settle in we will have a full trip briefing before joining our expert rope access guides for a beginners abseiling amongst the stunning Blue Mountains. For our abseiling adventure we will head to the escarpment of the nearby Narrow Neck plateau. Abseiling, or rappelling as it is known in North America and much of Europe, is commonly practised the world over as a method of descending a rope in a safe and controlled manner. No prior experience is necessary as our guides will be providing all the instruction necessary to enjoy this thrilling activity. We will start off on small cliffs moving on to more stunning larger descents as we progress through the day. We return to our accommodation and dinner in the late afternoon.

Today we’ll commence four days exploration of the spectacular heights and depths of the Blue Mountains. Our hike today will take us directly from our centrally located accommodation on to the Prince Henry Clifftop Walk where there are several wonderful viewpoints to enjoy the spectacular views across the Jamison Valley. We will walk to Echo Point to view the famous Three Sisters rock formation before descending the Giant Staircase. At the base of the stairs we will join the Federal Pass walking trail and begin our walk towards Laura Forest. This walk will take us through lush green shrouded forests beneath towering escarpments. Throughout the hike our guides will share with you their knowledge of the plant and animal species that we will see along our adventure. If we are lucky, we may hear a lyrebird or two with their unique ability to mimic other birds. We will enjoy a picnic lunch during our walk. Once we have ascended the trail up to the top of the escarpment, we’ll then enjoy more rewarding views as we look back towards where we began our hiking adventure. The days’ hike concludes as we trek back to our accommodation and prepare for dinner.

Canyons are deep ravines between pairs of escarpments or cliffs and are most often carved from the landscape by the erosive activity of a river or creek over millions of years. The Blue Mountains has the world’s greatest concentration of vegetated slot canyons. Canyoning, is the adventurous activity of travelling through canyons and often involves a variety of activities including swimming, wading, jumping into pools (‘water-jumps’), abseiling through waterfalls, bushwalking and scrambling over rocks and boulders. The grandeur and pristine beauty of the canyons almost defies description and are unique to the Blue Mountains of NSW. For your canyon adventure we’ll visit Australia’s very own Grand Canyon. A fantastic canyon for beginners, the adventure through Grand Canyon is the perfect introduction to the beauty and excitement of canyoning. The adventure starts with a downhill walk to where you will make an exciting entrance to the canyon, via a 20-metre overhanging abseil. Followed by an obstacle course of scrambling over boulders and logs interspersed with swims and wading, the beauty and serenity of this canyon will surprise you, with ferny glades and towering rock walls providing a spectacular setting. The walk out takes about 45 minutes through temperate rainforest, finishing at Evans Lookout with a spectacular view of the Grose Valley. Duration: 6hrs - with ample breaks included
