Butterbox Canyon is designed for adventure seekers wanting a canyon with real edge. This full-day experience features seven challenging abseils, rock jumps up to eight metres, short rock climbs and uninterrupted spectacular views on the exit trail. No previous experience is required, but participants must be fit, as this is one of the most demanding canyon days in the Blue Mountains.

Mount Hay has been a symbol of adventure since the earliest European expeditions. Its 945-metre basalt-capped summit dominates the western skyline, but far more impressive than the summit is the legendary canyon carved deep into its flanks. Butterbox Canyon is one of the most iconic adventure challenges in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

The canyon features a succession of abseils and water jumps, highlighted by two remarkable twenty-metre abseils descending into the deepest and darkest section of the slot. The second abseil drops from a giant chockstone wedged between the canyon walls into the waterfall below.

The exit involves a steep uphill hike with sweeping views of the Grose Valley and a short but exposed rock climb high above the valley floor. Although technically simple, the exposure and 200-metre drop below make it a heart-pounding finale.

Make no mistake — Butterbox Canyon is physically and mentally demanding, but the rewards are immense, and the experience is unforgettable.
