Experience the thrill of abseiling in the You Yangs regional park located only 45 minutes from Melbourne. Abseiling is a great activity for the whole family, friends and individuals. It’s an experience like no other. It will heighten your senses as you descend the rock face whilst leaving you with a great sense of achievement.
It’s a great way to spend your afternoon whilst learning some new skills along the way, and by abseiling in a safe and controlled manner with qualified guides it’s a fantastic way to face your fears and experience the thrill of abseiling.
Once we are all kitted up we will have a talk about safety and demonstrate how to abseil correctly after which it will be time to hit the rock for your first attempt at abseiling woo hoo!!!
Guided by your instructor you will be tied in securely via two ropes your abseil line (static rope) which you will control and also a safety line which is controlled by an instructor! Okay now it’s time to stand on the edge. Adrenaline rush!
It’s all about mind over matter! If you gather the courage to travel down at speed, it's a real adrenaline rush. You are attached to 2 ropes remember, your abseil line and a safety line which is controlled by your instructor should you get a little too excited!
The point when your feet are on the edge, and you are looking at the ground 30 metres below with nothing separating you but thin air. You may think "What the heck am I doing?" this thought has popped into many heads - but once you start descending and get used to the feeling of running down a near vertical cliff, you'll be running back to the top for another go, and getting faster each time.
You can enjoy as many abseils as you can fit into the session. In-between turns take in the breathtaking scenery of the You Yangs regional park and surrounding areas.
