"Warami mittigar" - Hello friend. We welcome you to Dharug Country
"Biimbiigang" - Greetings. We invite you to Gundungurra Country
Fortress Creek Canyon near Leura is a full day canyon. The canyon section of Fortress is preceded by a magnificent trek along a delightful walled-in creek, passing through a variety of habitats from hanging swamp to rainforest. The canyon itself involves some constricted swims between narrow sandstone walls, rock scrambling, waterjumps and an overhanging abseil (suitable for first time abseilers). The canyon ends unexpectedly on the edge of a 100 metre precipice high above the spectacular expanse of the Grose Valley. Relax on a sunny rock shelf as you enjoy your lunch with breathtaking views all around. The walk back takes a little over an hour on average with the first 20 minutes being the steepest. Much of the walk is through open heathland with possibly the best views in the Blue Mountains from the top of the Fortress.
What's included
What's not included
We believe our canyoning adventures are heaps of fun, and we want to ensure you have the best experience possible in the remote regions we explore. Our introductory to moderate canyoning adventures are for those with some previous experience in the outdoors. Abseiling experience is not essential, as we will teach these skills throughout the day. Participants are required to have a good level of fitness. You are required to have good mobility as we will be moving through uneven terrain in a remote environment. There is some extended bushwalking during the day, including some steep uphill sections. All participants are required to carry a backpack throughout the day that may weigh up to 10kg. Canyons may also involve swimming in cold water for prolonged periods of time. If you have any concerns about your suitability for this adventure, please contact our office.

On our adventures you’ll notice that we work hard to go above and beyond to deliver a service that exceeds your expectations. If part of your adventure doesn’t meet your expectations and you are not 100% satisfied with your experience let us know and we will fix it for you. And if you aren’t completely satisfied by our response, we will refund that part of your adventure. (Conditions Apply).
Passionate, highly qualified and experienced guides; gourmet lunches prepared by Altitude Deli in Blackheath; quality equipment in good condition that are regularly inspected and exceed industry standards – with us you can expect a high quality Blue Mountains adventure.
We don’t cut corners on safety. Over and above our well-stocked and maintained first aid kits, we also carry extra safety gear such as bivvy bags and emergency sleeping bags; and our roping practices are designed to ensure the best outcome should a rescue or assist be required. You can be confident our guides are working hard to keep you safe.
Our adventures are all inclusive. All adventures include licenses, equipment, professional guides and everything else you need for an action packed adventure. All you have to bring is suitable clothing, comfortable enclosed footwear, a water bottle and a camera to capture the day. And if you don’t have any of the necessary clothing we’ll happily provide you with the basics at no additional cost.
We offer more adventure locations in the Blue Mountains than anyone else. The canyons and climbs of the Blue Mountains are many and varied. Ever heard of Du Faurs Creek? Want to know what’s involved in Dalpura? Do the names ‘Bunny Buckets’ or ‘Dirty Rotten Pig’ sound weird, but you’re still intrigued? Keen to explore Dargan’s, Birrabang, or Breakfast Creek? If you are looking for something specific - just ask!
