Canyoning your way through Auckland  
Destinations | Las Vegas  
   

Most of the fun in Auckland can be found an hour"s drive away. There are canyons in the two main volcanic ranges of the region: Blue Canyon is in the rainforest-clad Waitakere Ranges, and Sleeping God Canyon in the Kauaeranga Valley of the Coromandel Peninsula. Taking the Scenic Drive off the North-western Motorway, one enters the settlement of Piha, shielded by the momentous Waitakere Ranges.

Canyoning is a fairly popular pursuit here, and involves donning a wet suit and harness, jumping down canyons via their aquatic tributaries, waterfalls and caverns in any way you can – abseiling, walking, floating, scrabbling  to traverse an otherwise inaccessible environment.

The area in which canyons was last visited by the pioneers who worked the canyon 100 years ago, harvesting the mighty, 3,000-plus-year-old kauri logs and flushing them from the hills via dam releases.
