This section of the Wollangambe River offers a spectacular and relatively easy adventure through the canyon.

Paradise Pool got its name for a reason. This stunning swimming hole is easily one of the best in the Blue Mountains, if not all of NSW.

We’re sharing everything you need to know about getting there and what to expect when you arrive.
