Women's Rainforest Canyon Adventure // Sunday 9th February

Abseil, cliff jump, slide and laugh your way down the beautiful Illawarra Escarpment Rainforest Canyon with a great group of women. 

This is a beginner friendly Canyon to immerse yourself in the fresh beautiful waters of the rainforest. Enjoy the spectacle of some of the South Coats best waterfalls all falling into one breathtaking natural gorge as we go.
