A canyoning operator running trips into the Piha Canyon in the Waitakere Ranges rainforest, about 40 minutes' drive from central Auckland. The trips range from a shorter canyoning experience for families and mixed fitness levels to big waterfall canyoning, with abseils, narrow gorges, jumps, caves and walls studded with glow-worms. No experience is needed, because the guides train you and provide the gear. Transport from central Auckland is available, or guests can meet at Piha, one hour later than the central departure, according to the website. Group discounts apply, and the operator also runs stag and hen events, corporate team activities and school trips. The website says the guides are qualified, the operator follows strict risk management guidelines, and it is an Auckland Council licensed operator that has worked the Piha Canyon for 20 years. Kauri dieback information and track closures are on the website.
