Tag along with our guide, Dan Lewis, as he shows you all the natural beauty of the canyons in the Blue Mountains. For tourists visiting the area, many of them don't get any further than the lookout at the top, and while it's gorgeous, Dan believes the best way to explore the heart of the Bluey's is to get down into their depths, which is why canyoning for him is the perfect way to go.

"The magic of the Blue Mountains doesn't lie in their height, it lies in their depth. You know you descend a hundred metres in altitude, but you've effectively gone back a hundred million years in time. They're just magical places that you won't find anywhere else." 

The Blue Mountains — which, in actuality, are not so much a series of peaks but a collection of captivating ridges, plateaus, and gorges. Only 90 minutes from the Sydney centre, the World Heritage Listed site offers a swift escape from the city and an ideal place to spend the weekend away for plenty of adventures from abseiling to canyoning.
