He even got some amazing photos of us all in front of the opera house and harbour bridge
Would definitely recommend this company for your tours 🙂







We did the Empress Canyon on Saturday and Butterbox on Sunday.
Tim and Seth on Saturday were excellent, very friendly and professional. They made the introduction to canyoning easy and fun.
On Sunday our guide was Ryan. We were not sure if it would happen as the rain had been threatening.
It did happen and we had a fantastic time.
Ryan was great and a pleasure to spend few hours with.
He was also very knowledgeable about the environment, the fauna, the flora, which add to the experience.
A consummate professional, we always felt safe with him.
I couldn't recommend more Eagle Rock if you are planning an adventure trip in the Blue Mountains.

Highly recommend!! Thanks legends!


Wow! My fam and I had the most amazing day! Our guides Seth and Leo where absolutely out of this world making you feel safe encouraging you when feeling scared or unsure. Our kids, 11 and 14 had the most amazing time and can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend booking a canyoning tour with them
They both had great knowledge of the area from the canyon to the environment and the geology and history of the area. Highly recommend this to anyone interested.
After lunch we moved to the Express Canyon, such an amazing experience with Ryan guiding us through swims, rock slides and some big rock jumps.
The highlight was the 30m abseil down Empress Falls. Amazing views combined with heart pumping fun.
High recommended outdoor adrenaline fueled fun. You will not regret this experience and with Ryan as your guide you're sure to have a great time.
Thanks Ryan!



Had professional and friendly guides who helped us every step of the way. Definitely an experience you’d love to do again. If you love adventure and adrenaline (and not scared of heights) this is the perfect activity if your with friends, a couple or solo


Ken and Arno (instructors) ensured we had a fabulous experience - especially patient with my 11-year-old son who conquered his fear of heights and managed to abseil 30m down Empress Falls. Highly recommend this company to other families with teenagers wanting a challenging fun day out. Ken shared his extensive local knowledge of the flora, fauna and geology of the Blue Mountains. Mum with 16, 13 & 11-year-old had just as much fun as the kids.

Shaun made sure we were comfortable and eased us into the adventure. Watching our two boys abseil down the cliff face will be something we will never forget. We felt confident in their care. Great sense of achievement and amazing day out! Definitely recommend for beginners.
Thanks guys!



We chose to combine an abseiling experience with the Empress Falls Canyoning day. This was a very special occasion and although we had booked something else, this turned out amazing. The recent rains made our original plan impossible but Paul and James from Eagle Rock Adventures did a great job of pivoting and communicating clearly the whole way.
The day itself was unreal. We went for the Boar's Head Abseiling which was epic and awe striking and challenging and humbling all while being the amazing bonding experience my friend and I were hoping for.
After a great lunch we then began our canyoning experience. Again, because of recent weather we had to make small adjustments and by no means did they make any impact on our experience. Canyoning was unbelievable. Being able to immerse yourself in nature like this, while combining some adventure and excitement was beyond my expectations. I was not even done with the day and already planning for a future visit!
Although it was certainly not easy, it never felt scarier than a healthy respect for Mother Nature should make you feel.
This is where James was such an incredible guide and ambassador for canyoning itself, for his company and for himself. He combined the art of guiding and educating, with a great talent for fun and humor/wit while not once compromising on keeping us focussed on safety. He balanced these so well that I wish I could write a review for him personally. I have a lot of experience in this field and I cannot overstate how much he impressed me. At the end one feels that one has gained a lifelong memory of something so incredibly powerful, but also that you have gained a friend who was kind enough to introduce it to you. Truly above and beyond!
All in all, anyone wanting a life changing experience should look no further!
Well done Eagle Rock Adventures, and special shout out to James!
Thank you

The canyoning its self was unbelievable with Ryan's fantastic guidance and in-depth knowledge


A couple lost their go pro when abseiling down the waterfall. if you want to take your go pro, leave it inside your wetsuit when going down the waterfall, and you need proper clip to the helmet as you need to jump down to the water at least 3-4 times. Careful with the rocks, just walk slowly and enjoy the surroundings.


We did multiple rock jumps, canyon trekking and the piece de resistance was the 30m waterfall abseil.
Safety was kept at the top priority and never once did we feel unsafe. Kudos to Leo and Pavlo for taking care of the whole group.
Note to those trying the Empress Canyon route. Make sure you have a base level of fitness to fully enjoy the experience.


Our guides were Ryan and Leo, both of whom did an awesome job of explaining the rules and safety guidelines but went above and beyond by peppering in fun facts about the Indigenous peoples who lived of the land of Empress Falls up to 20,000 years ago!
We were almost always given options with how to proceed when canyoning, which catered to the various confidence levels amongst the group. I personally enjoyed the “dare devil” options but appreciated how patient Ryan and Leo were with the members of the group who weren’t so confident.
There were so many points throughout the experience where I got that rush of adrenaline, but there were also moments of calm where we got to take in the beauty of the rainforest around us. Overall I would highly recommend this experience to anyone with an adventurous spirit.
