Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An exhilarating day exploring the Blue Mountains from a rope. From Abseiling down amazing cliff faces to walking, jumping and swimming through incredible canyons you finish your day at a beautiful waterfall where you Abseil down the guts of it.
Zolton, our guide, was a legend. Fun, knowledgeable and chill.
I would highly recommend doing this if you were after seeing the Blue Mountains from another spectacular view

What a great adventure the small group of four participants enjoyed. Our guide Zoltan was excellent and very knowledgeable in regards to native flora and fauna, and was clear and concise in his instructions to the group with little or no previous experience in canyoning. As a first time canyoning participant; I felt completely comfortable and comfortable that I could undertake and traverse the obstacles- despite being out of my usual comfort zone . I wanted to challenge myself and I did this throughout the day. I’ll be raving about my abseiling and canyoning experience for years.
High and Wild; please give Zoltan a Christmas bonus. He is a real asset and invaluable team staff member in your company.

I called writhing an hour of the start time to see what was available. The guys quickly let me in to the abseiling and canyoning day trip and the raced to organise my lunch while I got there. Yes, the 30 meter waterfall was a highlight; however the local knowledge of the guide just made this the best day I’ve ever had in the mountains; And I’ve lived here for years. He knew every species of flora or fauna we passed which added the sweetest commentary to an already amazing day. So impressed!

First time and they made me feel super comfortable and confident. Loved getting the camera to use as a group. It was physical but not too much for me!!!

The first part of the day when we learned how to abseil was a bit cold due to weather, heavy rain, but I think this only prepared for the rest of our day so this didn’t bother us at all.
The group and our guides Luke and Zoltan was great and had a very good spirit.
Due to the rain we got a lot of water in the canyon which I believe only made our experience better!
The canyon and rainforest was beautiful.
The waterfall was poring to heavily for us beginners to abseil down so we abseiled beside the waterfall. Safety first!
All in all, an amazing experience and I cannot wait to go canyoning again.

It was one of the greatest challenges I had. I'm so glad that I could do it with you guys. I'm afraid of heights, so I pick up the abseiling as a personal challenge. Tim and Zoltan were legends! Super helpful and patient, I had an amazing time in the morning. At the afternoon with the Canyoning I felt so alive and glad that I could accomplish that and face my fear! The Abseiling at the waterfall is stunning! I felt in love with that canyon and with the Blue Mountains there! Really, thank you for everything!

We absolutely loved our experience. Zoltan and Tim were incredible guides! The experience was challenging but rewarding for both my wife and me. I would highly recommend this company, this tour, and our two guides!

Great place to learn to abseil. Staff were excellent, encouraging, fun and gave very clear instruction. I have a fear of heights, but never felt unsafe with these guys. Very professional attitude to safety. Highly recommend their trip.

Do some of the canyoning trips have a minimum age? I am thinking of booking for my 10, 13 and 16 yo kids.

Thanks for you enquiry. We have a minimum age of 14 for canyoning due to the cold. However if your kids are big for their age and you come before end of February it may be possible. Please call us on (02) 4782 6224 to discuss.

How many reviews of High 'n Wild with, the highest rating (all of them!!) have reviewers with 4 or less reviews in total, the majority only 1 review. Mmmmm very dodgy to say the least.

This is so stupid. I don’t review every company I do tours or outings with and sometimes I do on other sites (like yelp). I did this for the company because they were great from booking, communication, to actual outing and knowledge of guide. Plus they asked. Not every company bothers to do that! (meaning lack of communication!). High N Wild is legit. I read 1 negative review and it was because the people that did it were scared. No amount of safety or guidance is going to cure you if you are just plain scared to do something adventurous.

We will be coming from Sydney. How long does it take to get to your starting point ?
I have a family of 5. Can your tour accommodate all of us together?
How should I dress for this tour? Will you dress us in proper gear ?
