About this experience

Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park in the heart of Brisbane offers a unique chance to enjoy abseiling in an urban environment, easily accessed by both beginners and those with abseiling experience. After a safety introduction from a qualified guide, you'll begin abseiling (aka rappelling) on the main cliffs. Watch as the sun sets on the Brisbane skyline and the city lights turn on for the night. Equipment is provided during this 2-hour activity.
