Nestled in the breathtaking wilderness of the Blue Mountains are a range of adventure-based experiences fully hosted and guided by iconic Australian adventurer James Castrission.
Designed around the principles of authentic engagement with the environment, personal growth, and overflowing with adventure, this Blue Mountains experience is truly like no other.
James Castrission has created a life full of adventure and adrenalin-fuelled achievements, and is now one of the most highly regarded Australian speakers, and inspirational figures.
James, along with his close friend Jonesy, sea kayaked 3,318kms from Australia to New Zealand through the treacherous waters of the Tasman Sea, unassisted. Battling sleep and food deprivation, 10 metre swells and howling winds, the duo were the first kayakers to complete this feat of human endurance.
The pair, along with Norwegian explorer Aleksander Gamme, also completed the first ever unassisted polar crossing journeying from the edge of the Antarctic to the South Pole and back over 89 gruelling days – a first in 100 years of polar exploration.
These extraordinary achievements along with a whole host of other expeditions have resulted in 2 Guinness World Records, 2 bestselling books, a place on Australia’s Top 50 Explorers Off All Time list and a undiminishing thirst for life.
James will be your private guide and host throughout your Blue Mountains experience.
James and his enthusiastic and knowledgeable team provide exclusive private adventure day tours operated out of Sydney or Wolgan Valley, as well as 2 or more night safaris accommodated at a private luxury camp.
For multi-day adventures guests are accommodated at Base Camp. Base Camp is located on a quiet private property surrounded by the imposing and dramatic Blue Mountains, peaceful fields, and plentiful native wildlife. The perfect location to truly ‘switch off’. In the evening you dine under a bright blanket of stars, sit by the raging camp fire, and hear James tell his gripping story.
This is a 5-star glamping experience like no other. Immerse yourself in the spectacular mountain environment, and enjoy a taste of adventure with the promise of comfort to return to each evening. The experience has been designed to push your boundaries in the day, and pamper you in the evening. You will be accommodated in spacious tents fully kitted with all that you will need for a restful night’s sleep in the Australian bush. While the camp may be remote, this does not mean you are without creature comforts such as showers, electricity and gourmet food prepared by a private chef.
Adventure based experiences are designed around personal skill levels, taste for adventure and interests. Experiences include abseiling, rock climbing, canyoning, bush hiking, and more. Guests are thoughtfully coached through the experiences, and celebrated for the level of activity they decide to participate in.
Whether for an immersive safari accommodated at Base Camp, or an adventure day tour from Sydney/Wolgan Valley, the experience is unforgettable. Be inspired by one of Australia’s favourite adventurers, while forging real a connection through your very own expedition.
The Blue Mountains are one of Australia’s most accessible World Heritage listed wildernesses and cover more that one million hectares of rainforest, blue-haze valleys, golden sandstone escarpments, eucalypt forest, canyons and windswept heathlands. The Blue Mountains are within easy access of Sydney, taking just 1.5 hours to reach via road.
Famed for its sweeping vistas, world-class rock-climbing, hiking and canyoning, the region is home to rugged scenery, steep cliffs, waterfalls, quaint mountain towns and breathtaking starry nights. Sit back and watch the changing colours of the mountains as the sun sets, gaze up at the stunning blanket of stars, or simply take in the majestic landscape.
