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.

We chose Absolute Outdoors for a rock climbing and abseiling session as part of a team building trip with work. The 2 girls that lead the session were super helpful and made sure we had a great time! Would come back

I would strongly recommend Absolute Outdoors. I organized for myself and 4 teenage boys to go canoeing and rock climbing/abseiling with Absolute Outdoors. Joel was the guide for both of these activities and he was friendly, calm and a great instructor. Strong winds made the canoeing more difficult than expected but Joel handled the situation very well and a bit of adversity makes the activity more memorable. Joel was a great instructor for the abseiling and rock climbing. He worked well with the teenagers and inspired confidence in one of our climbers who was afraid of heights.

Hi Karen! Thanks for taking the time to share your story, and thanks for adventuring with us!
I helped Joel collect come of the canoes after your session and he said you all did great to battle the wind.
I’m glad you all felt safe and the climbing was a great success, it’s such a challenging activity for those afraid of heights but it also deliver such value for them. A great way to push personal boundaries while in a safe and controlled environment.
Thanks again for visiting our home and enjoying the landscape - see you next time!

Absolute outdoors are absolutely fantastic, we had rock climbing and abseiling with Adrian in the morning, the entire experience was amzing. Although we haven't done any such activity before and were very nervous but Adrian was so calm, patient and guided us throughout. He kept repaeting , giving us tips, i am sure we couldn't have done it without him. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely going back again

Great range of comfortable, high quality outdoors gear. Not too expensive, either. Great resource for anyone visiting the Grampians!

We did the “Rock Adventure” with rock climbing and abseiling on our recent trip to Halls Gap. This was such a fun experience, would absolutely do it again!
Our guide Imogen was brilliant. Her instructions and demonstrations were easy to understand and she was always happy to help us if we weren’t sure about something or were nervous.
Couldn’t recommended this experience more, a great way to spend a morning in the Grampians!

We "Hung out" with the team from Absolute Outdoors for the basic level Rock Climbing and Abseil and it was so much fun, went back two days later for the next level pure Rock Climbing adventure. What a blast and what a great bunch. From the ladies getting us sorted in the shop, to the three guides we had holding our lives in their hands, the whole team were amazeballs. Always felt 100% safe, they were clear on their instructions, let you have a crack at everything and only gave suggestions when really needed. They are obviously expert climbers but they really let you try to figure out the different routes, holds etc yourself. The team was also easily able to cater for the different skill and strength level of all the people we were with. (Group of 4 first day, group of 3 the second) They made it fun and super relaxed, and the actual climbing location was an easy 5 to 10 min walk from the car park. Can't rate this experience high enough - will have a crack at the next level as soon as we can get back to Hall Gap.

Great experience from start to finish.
Breaden and the team were really flexible with us when we had to change the booking. Then we had Jake and Tom take us for abseiling and climbing who were awesome . Very patient with the novice- me and generous with my son who had climbing experience.
Awesome day out!!!
