This canyon has been described as one of the most beautiful places in Australia.

Claustral canyon is a beautiful, deep and sustained slot canyon in the Blue Mountains. It boasts a rich environment, full of life and greenery, towering sandstone walls and intricate rock architecture.

You will be amazed at what this canyon has to offer. Multiple abseils through the unique chambers of the 'Black hole of Calcutta' will see you descend into the depths of the canyon. After moving through twists and turns the canyon opens into the breathtaking 'Green Room', where nearly every surface is covered in moss, ferns and illuminated with rays of sunlight. The perfect spot for a stunning nature photo!

A detour up a side canyon will even provide the chance to see glow worms!

This canyon is very long and involves lots of hiking, swimming, scrambling, climbing and rock jumps. You should be prepared for a long, uphill exit hike of 2.5 - 4 hours with a pack. People who are fit, keen and are looking for a big adventure will find this to be one of the most rewarding canyoning tours available.
