Half Day Waterfall Abseiling Adventure - Upper Hutt

Highlights

  • Discover pristine forestry accessible only by abseil
  • Descend multiple waterfalls, reaching heights of up to 7 meters
  • Pause halfway down the river to enjoy refreshments and snacks

Experience the thrill of canyoning in the Little Akatarawa Valley, an adventure you won't forget. You'll navigate cascading waterfalls, abseil down their sheer faces, and leap into crystal-clear pools.

What's Included?

  • An exhilarating half-day waterfall abseiling tour
  • All gear provided, including wetsuit, helmet, harness, shoes, and more
  • Enjoy hot drinks and snacks in the canyon
  • Led by a minimum of two certified guides for safety and expertise

The adventure begins with a 20-minute walk along an old logging track into the Akatarawa Forest, where the excitement of the Little Akatarawa Canyon tour starts. Your journey kicks off with a thrilling zipline ride into the canyon, followed by three exhilarating waterfall descents.

Then you'll be lowered through the first waterfall to help you get comfortable, and when you're feeling confident, experienced guides will coach you through an independent abseil, ensuring your safety and enjoyment. As you wade through a shallow creek and optionally jump from heights into pristine, fresh water, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking scenery, making this an unforgettable experience. The Little Akatarawa Canyon is a hidden gem in the Wellington region, just a 40-minute drive from the CBD. We're fortunate to have such an incredible adventure right on the doorstep of the capital city.
