Karijini Canyoning Day Tours

1st - 14th April 2024
29th June - 14th July 2024 Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Weano Descent ONLY
21st Sep - 6th Oct 2024

 

Journey to the Centre of the Earth: $295 pp

Come on a half day journey with us to the deepest part of Karijini, to explore the Centre of the Earth. This adventure starts and finishes in Hancock gorge, giving you access to both the public and the restricted areas for the full length of the canyon. We meet at the Weano day use area and gear up, and descend into Hancock gorge via the ladders. We walk through the Spider Walk and traverse Kermit's Pool to the start of class 6. Once there we will give you a briefing on how to use your via ferrata lanyards and then make our way onto the ledge via a rope overlooking Reagan's Pool. We descend down to Reagan's Pool, and make our way to the top of the Chute. Via a handline (unless the flow of water requires a belay line), we make our way even deeper into the heart of Karijini to the Centre of the Earth. Once there we take a look out into Junction Pool, and then begin to make our way back the same way we came, all the way back to the carpark at the top. This day typically runs for approximately 4 hours, 0900 - 1300. This is an introduction to class 6 canyoning suitable for most people including children. We do not have an age restriction for this canyoning experience as long as the harness and helmet fit, and children attending can follow instructions given by our guides. Parents are required to participate as a duty of care.

 

Red Gorge Adventure: $395 pp

We will start this adventure walking into Knox Gorge for the full length of the public access areas to the start of Class 6. We then prepare ourselves to be lowered on a rope to the top of the awesome natural water slide, where we slide into a stunning circular pool, followed by a small lower (approx. 8m) into another small circular pool. The slide is approximately 4 meters long with a 4 meter drop .... AWESOME ADRENALINE FILLED FUN!! We then enter Red Gorge (only accessible with us), where we will have lunch. After lunch we take a quick look around the corner into Wittenoom Gorge (this is another adventure we are planning for the future), we then back track to our lunch spot. We jump into our tubes and spend most of the day paddling the entire length of the gorge to Junction Pool, stopping at the base of Weano waterfall for lunch. We will visit the Centre of the Earth, and take a look up The Chute, and then back track to paddle up Joffre Gorge and exit via the scree slope to walk back to Knox Gorge car park cross-country for roughly 750m. This day typically runs for approximately 6.5 hours, 0900 - 1530.

 

Weono Descent: $445 pp

This adventure starts at Weano Gorge and finishes in Hancock Gorge, giving you access to both the public and the restricted areas for the full length both the canyons. We meet at the Weano day use area and gear up, and descend into this stunning gorge and journey to Handrail Pool, using our tubes and hand paddles to paddle to the entrance of Jade Pool (aptly named due to its jade coloured water). This is the entrance to the class 6 part of this gorge. We then via ferrata along an edge above Jade Pool and travel to the Amphitheatre for morning tea. We will then hook in for the 45m waterfall descent!!! This awesome waterfall plunges deep into the heart of Karijini to Red Gorge (only accessible with us). Once at the bottom we will break for lunch. We then paddle across Junction Pool, where we exit via the Centre of the Earth, up the Chute with a hand line, and climb out on ropes (approximately 10m) on to a ledge overlooking the stunning Regan's Pool. We then via ferrata along the ledge to Kermit's Pool, to exit via the Spider Walk and the rest of Hancock Gorge, to return to the Weano day use car park where we began. This day typically runs for approximately 6.5 hours, 0900 - 1530.

 

Joffre Journey: $495 pp

This stunning gorge is only operated by us, and we believe it is the hidden jewel of Karijini. It is the longest trip we will do, 7.5km, and requires the whole day 0800-1700 to complete. We walk into the gorge from the Eco Retreat, and spend the day paddling our tubes for the entire length of this amazing gorge, which includes waterfalls, beautiful red banded ironstone walls up to 100m high, turquoise crystal clear waters, wildlife, serenity and the ancient ambiance that is Karijini. We will stop at the base of Enchanted Gorge Waterfall for lunch. We exit via the Centre of the Earth, up the Chute with a hand line, and climb out on ropes (approximately 10m) on to a ledge overlooking the stunning Jimmy Regan's Pool. We then via ferrata along the ledge to Kermit's Pool, to exit via the Spider Walk and the rest of Hancock Gorge. At times we do reverse the journey, starting at Hancock Gorge and ending at the Eco Retreat. Check with us which day we are running when you inquire. This is a full day and you will be one of the very few that have done this amazing adventure. Please be aware due the nature of this gorge and making safety our number one priority, this Gorge is only open to people that have either done a Gorge with us before, or session in Perth.
