Abseiling (German: abseilen, "to rope down"), or rappelling in American and British English, is the controlled descent down a rope in rock climbing, mountaineering, caving and canyoneering. The technique is used when a cliff or slope is too steep and/or too dangerous to descend without protection.

 

MT WELLINGTON

Mt Wellington offers an 18 metre abseil with spectacular views of Hobart and surrounds. The abseil is suitable for all ages and skill levels, and is located a few minutes' walk from The Springs on the road to the summit.

​BLACKMANS BAY

Located around twenty minutes south of Hobart, this is a picturesque 18 metre abseil over 'The Blowhole'. There is a great rock face to scramble back up, or use our supplied caving ladder. There are fantastic beaches nearby for swimming and games, and an underwater snorkelling 'bushwalk' around ten minutes south. This abseil is suitable for all ages.
