Ahh Whungee Whengee Canyon! When I first heard about this canyon I was honestly terrified. An epically long canyon constriction filled with a series of ‘duck unders’. Yes, you heard that right. There are a series of spots where, to progress through this canyon, you are required to take a deep breath, swim through water and ‘duck under’ rock formations that sit just on or below water level. Basically an underwater water tunnel!
That was a hard no from me, at least until November 2022…
It is definitely one of the more beautiful and longest canyons I have ever been in.
Abundant caverns, glow worms, waterfalls, underwater tunnels, constricted slots and a swim in the Wollongambe at the end, it really has it all.
Some of the abseils are a little tricky, I do remember swinging right under the boulder in this one… all a part of the fun!
Unfortunately I didn’t get any photographs of the duck unders, but one of my mates took some incredible videos he turned into the most epic reel. Just look at that water!
Right before the canyon joins the Wollongambe, you get to navigate through one of the most narrow and lengthy slot constrictions there are in the Blue Mountains!
At times it started to feel like it was never going to end!
What a treat it is, to be blessed with the ability to experience wild places like this.
