Explore Australia’s Blue Mountains on a tailor-made holiday to remember with a luxury adventure experience hosted by James Castrission.

You can grow further than you could ever think was possible when guided through nature by a world-class explorer.

James Castrission is a world-renowned explorer known for his unassisted expeditions across the treacherous terrains of Tasman Sea and the Antarctic completed alongside his mate Jonesy. These two successful adventures over landscapes deemed ‘impossible to cross’ were commemorated into the Guinness Book of World Records, and now he’s sharing his knowledge learnt over those ventures with eager guests. By canyoning, abseiling, hiking and climbing throughout the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains region, James invites you to explore beyond the edge of your comfort zone.

Resting in his custom-made glampsite by night and adventuring by day, an experience with James will stretch your own physical and mental capabilities in a supportive and breathtaking natural environment. Offering absolute control and personalised support for each activity, guests from all walks of life can meet on an equal field and support each other to triumph over natural obstacles. Each of your successes are coupled with exceptional comfort at the glampsite at night, where you can enjoy delicious food, beautiful scenery, and spectacular company while enjoying a keynote speech that James has delivered across the globe.

The Tailor has a strong working relationship with James and have curated adventures for travellers which leave them transformed upon their return to regular life—whether they journey with James as part of a larger itinerary, or travel to his basecamp as the focus of their journey.

If you’re interested in testing how far your capabilities can stretch, contact our talented Travel Designer team today to venture into the heart of canyons and ravines of a World Heritage-listed landscape under James and his team’s expert guidance.
