It's a long way from the city centre, and will take more than an hour by car but if you like white water rafting it's a good place to go. The course was used in the Sydney 2000 Olympics and is an artificial man made course. It's therefore short but it's certainly action packed. More

Been here three times. Great alternative activity especially when the water levels are low in rivers. However is expensive, you only have the option of two different times per day, and if pre booking you must pay in full. More

Whitewater rafting every day and not dependent on the weather. A great half day to get the feel for whitewater rafting. I did this as a 'bucks day out' and it was a hoot. More

Gave my teenage boys tickets for 2010 Xmas present and they loved it. If you are a tourist in Australia though it is a bit far to Penrith (at least an hour). If you are going that far make sure you then travel another 3/4 hour up the Blue Mountains...an experience you dont want to miss. More

After doing all the major tourist attractions the group decided this was the best activity. It is professionally run and I would recommend to anyone. If you want to try white water rafting its well worth the trip out of Sydney. More
