Due to its rugged topography, thick vegetation and high rainfall, the parks are not generally appropriate locations for most activities considered ‘adventure activities’ under the National Parks and Wildlife Regulation (such as rock climbing, abseiling, hang-gliding and white-water boating). Adventure activities may be permitted with NPWS consent following a case-by-case consideration of potential impacts on park values and other users.
