Enjoying the view of a stunning Waterfall is already amazing but abseiling it takes this adventure it far beyond the limit of a normal sightseeing tourist. The intense and powerful feeling of the water combined with the fact that you are hanging of a rope and that there is nothing but water beneath and above you will give adrenalin push like you never experienced before.
Abseiling, or rappelling as it is often called, is simply a method of descending a rope in a controlled and safe manner.Originally developed by rock climbers and mountaineers to safely descend cliffs and mountains, it has in recent times become an exciting adventure in its own right. It has developed into a skill that is essential in areas and activities such as caving, cannoning, search and rescue, scientific field research, building maintenance and the military.Experience the adrenalin rush as you conquer your fear of heights and enjoy that special delight of abseiling a whit water waterfall. Awesome fun, exhilarating, and a truly wild challenge.
Every waterfall has it's own character and difficulty grade depending on season and water level. Heights can range between 5m and 50m for single pitch abseiling or even up to 100m for a multi pitch abseil.

I joined this full day canyoning in Auckland at only NZD155, where lunch, refreshments, transportation and basic training are all included. I paid another NZD15 for the amazing pictures taken by our trainer- Cam Bowen, as shown below:
The feeling of abseiling from the waterfall can't be described in words, you've just gotta experience it yourself
Isn't it awesome?
the water was freaking freezing ...
Amazing view from the top!
this abseil was quite tough as the rock was slippery, with the pressure created by the water, you've just gotta stay calm and abseil slowly ... until you reach the ground
I'm still alive ... haha
This outdoor activitiy has brought out my wildness .... the animal instinct
this is full of fun ....
Well Done Everyone! .... a lifetime experience and a day to remember
