Piha Canyoning Half Day

Perfect if you are short on time or are new (and not so confident) to adventure activities. Also great for family trips. This trip will have you abseiling (rappelling) through a waterfall and much more.

Allow around 5.5 hours from Auckland, return. Or if meeting in Piha, then around 3 hours. About 1.5 hours of this time is spent exploring the canyoning. But before you get to that, its gearing up and training with the guides and a beautiful bush walk into the rainforest. This trip includes abseiling through waterfalls, jumping into canyon pools and exploring the water carved rocks. After the canyoning, there's time to visit Piha Beach before returning to Auckland.
