SATURDAY BL – Whungee Wheengee (Intermediate/ Advanced) – Canyon

Whungee Wheengee Canyon

Join Scott and Luke on a canyon/chasm with some technical abseils and beautiful scenery!

This is a more difficult canyon than the others offered so at this stage please sign up just if you have previous canyoning experience and feel nice and confident 🙂

What you need to know? Expect a great day canyoning for around 8+ hrs round trip, a walk up the river at the end, and a scramble to exit.

It’s gonna be a tough but super fun day! Expect cold temperatures, wetsuits are a must.
