Come join us for an adventure past the public access areas and delve deep into the depths of the ancient Karijini Landscape. The canyons we will be travelling through are only accessible with us and are even more stunning the deeper you go. It would be a shame to come all this way and not go further and deeper. We take you as deep as you can go into the wild heart of Karijini :)

Book in early to not miss out! Our tours often sell out well in advance and spots are strictly limited.

We currently offer; the Journey to the Centre of the Earth, the Red Gorge Adventure, the Weono Descent, and the Joffre Journey, depending on demand. The pricing and details are listed below. The tours are listed in order of difficulty.

The Joffre Journey will only be available to clients that have done a tour with us in Perth and/or have done a canyon with us before.

Please call us on +61 423 182 663 to book. We may not get back to you straight away as we may be running a tour. If we can't be reached, please email us at info@spacechameleon.com.au with a return phone number to make your inquiry. Please be aware due to the nature of phone service in the area, calling our number may give you a message that our phone no longer works. This is NOT the case, but a technical error by the server. We also do not get missed calls when we are in the canyons. An email is always the best way to contact us or call us after 1700 each day. We do not take online bookings and need to speak to all clients to assess suitability before booking a tour.

Come on a half day journey with us to the deepest part of Karijini, to explore the Centre of the Earth. This adventure starts and finishes in Hancock gorge, giving you access to both the public and the restricted areas for the full length of the canyon. We meet at the Weano day use area and gear up, and descend into Hancock gorge via the ladders. We walk through the Spider Walk and traverse Kermit's Pool to the start of class 6. Once there we will give you a briefing on how to use your via ferrata lanyards and then make our way onto the ledge via a rope overlooking Reagan's Pool. We descend down to Reagan's Pool, and make our way to the top of the Chute. Via a handline (unless the flow of water requires a belay line), we make our way even deeper into the heart of Karijini to the Centre of the Earth. Once there we take a look out into Junction Pool, and then begin to make our way back the same way we came, all the way back to the carpark at the top.

This day typically runs for approximately 4 hours, 0900 - 1300. This is an introduction to class 6 canyoning suitable for most people including children. We do not have an age restriction for this canyoning experience as long as the harness and helmet fit, and children attending can follow instructions given by our guides. Parents are required to participate as a duty of care.

This canyoning adventure is also perfect for larger groups and team building adventures for corporate groups, as we can accomodate numbers up to 25 and the day is shorter, running around 4 hours. Get in touch to discuss your teams needs and group discounts.

The slide is approximately 4 meters long with a 4 meter drop .... AWESOME ADRENALINE FILLED FUN!! We then enter Red Gorge (only accessible with us), where we will have lunch.

NEW ADVENTURE !!

In April 2024, Weano Gorge was shut for several months due to a pinhead millipede infestation which was caused by a lack of a water during the wet season 2023/24. These millipedes are a natural phenomena and usually get flushed out. With the lack of water, no flushing occurred and the water being stagnant became toxic with the dying of millions of millipedes. To add to this a roo fell into the gorge followed by a dingo that was attracted to the stench of the dead roo. This dingo subsequently also died and a second dingo made its way into the gorge …. we believe this dingo did find this way out though. All of these factors resulted in the gorge remaining shut during our July canyoning season and us needed to come up wth a new tour for the clients that had paid for the Weano Descent. The Red Gorge Return was born and very well received :)

So we are now offering this for our July Season only.

This adventure starts and finishes in the same manner as the Journey to the Centre of the Earth in Hancock gorge, giving you access to both the public and the restricted areas for the full length of the canyon. We meet at the Weano day use area and gear up, and descend into Hancock gorge via the ladders. We walk through the Spider Walk and traverse Kermit's Pool to the start of class 6. We make our way onto the ledge via a rope overlooking Reagan's Pool. We descend down to Reagan's Pool, and make our way to the top of the Chute. Via a handline (unless the flow of water requires a belay line), we make our way even deeper into the heart of Karijini to the Centre of the Earth. Once there, we enter into Junction Pool with our tubes and hand-paddles, and then begin our journey down Red Gorge. We traverse small patches of land in between stunning pools of varying lengths and depth surrounded by majestic red banded ironstone walls up to 130 metres high. We travel all the way to the end of Red Gorge Gorge and the beginning of Wittenoom Gorge. Once there and after a brief stop we then make our way back the same way we came, all the way back to the carpark at the top.

There might be a few surprises along the way if time allows :)

This day typically runs for approximately 6.5 hours, 0900 - 1530.

We will then hook in for the 35m waterfall descent!!! This awesome waterfall plunges deep into the heart of Karijini to Red Gorge (only accessible with us). Once at the bottom we will break for lunch.

If you fail the swimming test, you will be asked to leave the tour and walk back to your vehicle. NO refund will be issued.
All clients are expected to be reasonably fit and stable on their feet in order to navigate the canyons safely. We will assess all clients on arrival and as they walk into each canyon. If you are deemed not capable, you will be asked to leave the tour and walk back to your vehicle. NO refund will be issued.
