Details

Not a fan of getting soaked but love abseiling? Blue Creek in Bull Creek offers the perfect canyoning adventure for you. With only a few waist-deep pools, this trip remains mostly dry. This stunning canyon in Kahurangi National Park is carved into softer rock, creating deep and narrow passages where you can touch both walls simultaneously, and glimpses of daylight are rare. It feels like being swallowed by the earth. If you ask your guides nicely, they might even help keep your feet dry. By the end of the trip, you'll feel like an abseiling expert!
