Itinerary

EMPRESS CANYON A fantastic abseiling/canyon combination, one of the Blue Mountains' best! The first half of the day is abseiling, starting with a 5-metre-high cliff and building up to 30-metre-high cliffs during the morning. After a gourmet lunch it’s a scenic 20-minute walk to the start of the canyon. Wade into the creek that descends the narrow, slot-like canyon and within a few seconds you are jumping into a rock pool, the first of several jumps and swims (don't worry, we provide wetsuits!). This canyon is an exciting affair with water jumps, exhilarating swims, waterslides and fantastic scenery. The final descent out of the canyon is one of the best waterfall abseils in the mountains. Clip into the rope, step back and follow the 30-metre waterfall down to the deep rock pool below. This is not just a brilliant waterfall abseil but also a fantastic photo opportunity.

Gorgeous canyon, brilliant guides

Published on Feb, 2025

I was looking for an adventure that was outside my comfort zone, but within my limits (no previous abseiling/canyoning experience) to celebrate my birthday. High and Wild were brilliant from the start. I had some questions regarding the abseiling (due to a previous injury); and they were able to discuss what the day involved in more depth (so I could decide if it was doable for me prior to booking). Our guides, Ben and Kate, were absolutely brilliant: fun, knowledgeable, and safe (I saw a couple of things throughout the day with other abseilers that made me very glad I'd chosen High and Wild!). They also seemed to instinctively know what was needed when I had a bit of a moment on the edge of the waterfall; and they got me into "the zone" by giving me some very calm guidance on where to put my feet for the first part (which was technically the most difficult, and shows they know this waterfall like the back of their hands!). Learning to abseil was fun, the canyon was gorgeous, and the waterfall (while a little tricky for me!) was an exhilarating challenge. I was also lucky to have an amazing group of people to share the adventure with.

Great Experience and Great Tour Guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

I had a great time doing the Empress Canyon abseiling and canyoning full day tour with High and Wild. Zol was a great tour guide. He made us feel safe and comfortable and was patient with anyone who was nervous. I booked the tour alone and made great friends on the trip as well. I highly suggest booking an adventure with High and Wild!

Sublime

Published on Nov, 2024

What a blast! Abseiling was unreal, with the gorgeous views making this experience a real highlight. Lunch was delicious and canyoning was insane. We all had so much fun climbing the rocks, jumping into the springs and ofcourse abseiling the breathtaking 30m waterfall!!

Awesome day Canyoning

Published on Nov, 2024

It was my 18yr old daughter's first experience canyoning and she couldn't have been in better hands! The two guides were very professional and at the same time made it a fun day. Empress Canyon was absolutely beautiful and is part of the Blue Mountains that remains hidden unless you are shown. It was great because she wanted to learn how to abseil which a half day instruction was part of the package. I can totally recommend High and Wild mountain adventures to anyone wanting to experience this wonderful place.

Do this trip!

Published on Oct, 2024

Everything about this was so much fun. I 100% think everyone thinking to do it should do. The guides Ben and Zol were fantastic and brought their knowledge and experience. If you’re thinking about it, do it!
