Canyoning has become more popular in NZ recently and a small group of WTMC club members are joining in the fun. Below is a selection of photos taken on trips to the Patuna Chasm (easy), Turere Stream (not quite so easy), and Chamberlain Creek and the Eager Beaver Canyon (both definitely not quite so easy).
The difficult canyons require the equivalent of alpine skills and you are mostly wet all day but you get to some crazy amazing places. And all these canyons are within 1½ hours drive of Welly.
