Join your friendly and professional guides as you head into this beautiful, untouched part of Australia and learn the key points of fundamental canyoning technique, climbing, jumping, swimming, rappelling and otherwise navigating your way from one challenge to the next.

Located in the Valley of the Waters Creek near Wentworth Falls, Empress Canyon offers easy access alongside a number of jumps and short swims that are ideal for getting your feet wet with canyoning as a whole - you'll likely love it so much you'll want to do a higher level in the future! Throughout the experience you'll be donning top-notch equipment including a thick wetsuit, canyoning harness, backpack and helmet which will provide all the warmth and safety you'll need to focus on the adventure.

Canyoners are required to have a moderate level of fitness as this tour is considered to be quite intense. The adventure runs for a total of three hours and all you're asked to bring a dry change of clothes, running shoes, a towel and water.
