Adventures
All our adventures are guided by fully qualified instructors; your safety always comes first.
We provide you with all the adventure equipment needed. You need to bring:
- Outdoor type clothing that can handle getting dirty
- Hiking boots/shoes for caving and abseiling. Protective footwear for kayaking is compulsory
- Sun block
- Water bottle or Camelback
- Torch with spare batteries (we recommend a robust Dolphin type. If you intend to partake in the caving activities then you can tie a strap to it so you can hang it off your shoulder). A headtorch is also a good option
- Good sense of humour to face a day of challenges
Activities on offer
- Abseiling: will be conducted in two locations, one in the Jarrah forest of the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park and the other at the Willyabrup sea cliffs overlooking a magnificent coast line.
- Kayaking: we take you on a paddle on the Blackwood River taking in the sights of what nature has to offer.
- Caving: we go underground to view the hidden marvels of nature. Caves hold a history to the development of mainland Australia and early man.
