Torrent River
Torrent River is our popular canyoning trip, simply because it has it all. Jumps, slides, floats, abseils, you name it……Torrent’s got it. All this exciting stuff takes place in a gorgeous granite canyon filled with some of the purest water you can find and wrapped in mind-blowing, unspoiled rain forest. This is a great place to start your canyoning adventures.
Waterfall Creek
This is more than just canyoning. This is our BIG, truly remote canyoning experience. Everything about this trip is just BIG! And so will be your smile at the end of this adventure. Make sure your breakfast is BIG too, as this epic canyoning mission will require some BIG energy. We wade up a beautiful river, climb our way straight up the hill through stunning bush to get to the starting point at 400m above sea level. On the way we’ll introduce you to the rich history of the area and the giant trees of the forest, some are many centuries old. If big slides and big abseils in a remote setting is your type of adventure, then Waterfall Creek is your trip. BE WARNED: This trip might be the most challenging thing you’ll do in New Zealand…
Source to Sea
The ultimate way to discover the best of the Abel Tasman National Park on a 2 day adventure. Riding a water taxi along the coast, canyoning in Torrent River, sleeping on a floating backpackers hostel, walking part of the Abel Tasman Coast Track and sea kayaking through the Astrolabe Roadstead!
The whole adventure is fully catered: lunch, snacks and drinks, BBQ and breakfast on the boat. Free photos and videos of your canyoning trip.
Guts & Glory
Double the action, double the fun! Why not complete your Abel Tasman adventure with a 16.500ft skydive over paradise??
If you seriously think that an exciting full day of jumping, sliding, abseiling and ziplining your way down the pristine Torrent River canyon in the Abel Tasman National Park is not enough action for one day then you are hereby challenged to board a plane, head up to 16,500ft, and leap out of it!
This ultimate combo is every self-respecting adrenaline junkies’ dream.
Blue Creek
Not keen on getting too wet but love abseiling? Apart from a couple of waist-deep pools Blue Creek is a dry canyoning trip. This stunning Kahurangi canyon is deep and narrow as it was carved into a softer type of rock over many years. In some places you can touch both walls at the same time and if you look up you’ll only see a sliver of daylight. It really feels like you’re getting absorbed by the earth. If you ask your guides nicely they might even try to keep your feet dry on this one. By the end of this trip, you’ll be an abseiling pro!
Doom Creek
Not quite as daunting as it may sound but a fantastic canyoning trip nonetheless. Doom Creek is a great play canyon. In some places you can hardly see the sky and around the next corner you’ll be basking in the sun on a big shingle beach. Doom Creek is full of jumps, but none of them are compulsory. The canyon is almost horizontal with steep vertical walls. You decide how high you want to climb, to then turn around and launch yourself into crystal clear pools! You’ll love this trip if you’re into jumps and swimming.
Falls River
Venture a little further into the Abel Tasman National Park to experience Falls River. This far into the park you are starting to feel remote. Falls River is our high flow canyoning experience, it lets you feel the true force of mother nature. Big, powerful waterfalls and rapids will get the adrenaline pumping through your veins. Once again the scenery is a-ma-zing!
Had sooo much fun!
Great jumps great waterfalls great views great pictures great group and great guides! Funny and really amazing! A bit scary as well but that made it even better! Like to do it again!!
Amazing time!
We had an absolutely amazing time canyoning with abel tasman canyoning! Our guides Toine and Jurij were super professional, funny and attentive. They also provided us with a lot of interesting facts and stories regarding the national park! It was my first canyoning experience and there was a bit of everything, jumping, ziplining, abseiling and sliding as well as an absolutely beautiful nature experience, making our way down the canyon! Toine and Jurij made us feel secure and created a super fun and nice atmosphere! We were a pretty small and super nice group and everything was organized very well and smooth! It was loads of fun and I can highly recommend the trip ! Also my husband, who has already done some canyoning enjoying it a lot. Thanks to Toine and Jurij for a great experience!!
The cherry on the top of our Abel Tasman trip!!
After doing the typical things - water taxi, trekking, kayaking - this was the experience that offered something extra when it comes to 'journeying' the Abel Tasman National Park!
Juri and Toine were our excellent, expert guides for the day, and not long after meeting them an overwhelming sense of trust had me jumping, sliding, abseiling and flailing down the river!! My biggest fear was actually the temperature of the water right at the end of April, ("we don't use the term 'cold', we say 'refreshing'"). Not gonna lie it was brisk jumping into that first pool, but the thick wetsuits the guys provided kept us totally warm and comfortable all day long. If you're quite unfit and/or very scared of heights, this may not be for you, but just an ounce of nervousness and a good sense of humour will put you in good stead for a thrilling day that bonds you with strangers from all around the globe!
Kudos to these guys for running such a smooth operation while also being so warm, encouraging and considerate. Highly recommend to anyone keen to level up their AT park experience!!
