Rock Climbing and Abseiling in Morialta Gorge

This full-day outdoor adventure gets you onto the natural rock faces of Morialta Gorge for both rock climbing and abseiling. It’s aimed at anyone keen to try a more active day near Adelaide, with the chance to learn basic climbing skills, tackle a steep abseil and spend time in a scenic section of Morialta Conservation Park. All climbing and abseiling equipment is included, so you only need to bring suitable clothes, water and closed-toe shoes.

Over the day, you’ll head into Morialta Gorge and climb and abseil on natural cliffs rather than an indoor wall. The experience includes learning the basics of rock climbing before taking on some of the area’s better-known rock faces, then testing your nerve on a steep abseil. Between climbs, there are wide views across Morialta Conservation Park and out towards St Vincent Gulf, and you may spot koalas in the surrounding gum trees. You’ll need to come prepared for a full day outdoors with enough water, sun protection and clothes that allow easy movement.
