Description

Come along to Werribee Gorge State Park! Let our our knowledgeable guides lead you along winding trails, they’ll point out native plants and wildlife, explain the geology beneath your feet and set the stage for the day’s true adventures.

When you arrive at Falcon’s Lookout, the first thing you'll notice will be the sweeping panoramas of the gorge below—an inspiring vantage point from which to prepare for two exhilarating vertical experiences tailored especially for young explorers.

Under the careful supervision of our ACIA‑certified instructors, you’ll first discover the art of rock climbing: learning essential rope management and safety techniques, problem‑solving your way up increasingly challenging routes, and feeling the thrill of each new height you conquer on the sparkling cliff faces.

Once you’ve built confidence on the rocks, you’ll transition to abseiling, where you’ll master controlled descents on shorter cliffs before tackling a breathtaking 25‑metre drop that showcases the gorge in all its grandeur and delivers an unparalleled rush of accomplishment.

Designed as a vibrant school‑holiday adventure, this day combines skill building with pure excitement: young adventurers will progress at their own pace, supported every step of the way by guides experienced in youth instruction, while forging teamwork and making new friends.

Throughout the experience, the natural surroundings serve as a living classroom—offering insights into Victoria’s ecosystems and conservation, and leaving participants inspired, active, and eager to return to the great outdoors.

Ideal for energetic youth troupes, milestone‑celebrating families, or anyone craving an adrenaline‑filled getaway, the Werribee Gorge journey seamlessly fuses discovery, daring challenges, and pure enjoyment.

    What people are saying about Explore-Share

    Man

    Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

    Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

    We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

    Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
