Kangaroo Point Cliffs Abseiling
$$Abseil 20 metres down the Kangaroo Point Cliffs with the city skyline as your backdrop
Step off the edge of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and abseil 20 metres down the rock face with the Brisbane River and city skyline stretched out in front of you. Riverlife runs 90-minute guided abseiling sessions with all equipment and instruction provided, no experience needed. The cliffs were quarried from 1829 to 1976 and the well-maintained rock face is now one of Brisbane's most iconic adventure spots. Twilight abseiling sessions are available on Friday and Saturday evenings for an even more dramatic experience with city lights twinkling below.
