GOLD RUSH

Doom Creek was part of the gold
fields of Canvastown. Back in 1864 Canvastown was booming when the gold rush
saw lots of gold miners setting up their canvas tents in the area. Despite its
name, Doom Creek was actually very rich in gold, but it was the immense
boulders that made Doom Creek difficult to mine. These days it is exactly these
boulders that make Doom Creek great for canyoning. What an opportunity to leap
of rocks into a creek in which occasionally gold is still found. But that is
not the only rush you will get on this day. As part of this combo, you will
also get to soar on one of the world’s longest flying fox at a speed of up to
100 km/hr. You will fly high above the scenic forest canopy whilst taking in
views of Cable and Delware Bay, the Western Ranges, and D’urville Island. What
is not to love?

ABOUT THE CANYON

An easy 45-minute walk will take you to the start
of Doom Creek. The guides will give you a thorough safety briefing focused on
jumping and floating through rapids. Then it is time to venture into Doom
Creek, a beautiful slot canyon with a few small jumps to get you going. At the
end of this slot, Doom Creek joins up with the mighty Wakamarina River which is
a lot wider. The vertical walls make for great jumps, some well over 10m high. You
decide how high you want to climb, to then turn around and launch yourself into
crystal clear pools. About 3 hours’ worth of walking, wading, swimming and
jumping takes us straight back to the car park. You will absolutely love this
trip if you are into jumps and swimming.

ABOUT THE SKYWIRE

Your tour starts with a 4km ride
in one of our 4-wheel drive vehicles, passing through pristine native forest
while our guides entertain you with facts about the park’s diverse native
environment, cultural aspects and fun stories. The Skywire is set 300m above
our base café and has incredible views of Cable and Delaware Bays, the western
ranges and north towards D’urville Island. On a clear day you can even see the
snow-capped peak of Mount Taranaki. You will be strapped securely into the ride
with a 5-point harness. The Skywire seats up to four “flyers” at a time. You
will experience around 1000m of gravity assisted free-wheeling, reaching speeds
of up to 100 km/hr, followed by 600m at a more leisurely pace - ideal for
taking in the incredible scenery. Then you do it all again, but backwards, finishing
back at the start after nearly 10 minutes of thrilling adventure.
