BEST DAY ACTIVITY IN AUCKLAND

Growing up in Auckland I thought I knew all the fun outdoor activities... obviously not! Canyoning in the beautiful wild west coast of Auckland was so epic! I was already excited for the trip but it definitely exceeded my expectations. The views and locations were...More

An awesome day out

Such a great experience, one of the best things I've ever done. Guides were awesome, scenery amazing, and the abseiling just the right level of scary.

Must do for Piha Canyon

Totally worth my time and $. There were cliff jumps, abseiling down waterfalls and rock faces, squeezing through some caves. Our guide, Javier was very clear in guiding us how to abseil. Should definitely do it!

I see on the website a change of shoes are needed and that they will get wet. Would water shoes be okay for this adventure? Thanks!

Answer

Yes. I had a pair of Merrell water shoes that I used during the excursion and then a pair of flip flops for afterwards.
