Queenstown Half-Day Canyoning Adventure
Overview
Our half day canyoning experience has a little bit of everything in an action packed 4 hour (approx) round trip. We walk in through a native beech forest that hides the deep canyon. Once in, we navigate the canyon by zipline, abseiling/rappelling waterfalls, plunging into clear pools, floating down narrow passageways and cascading down chutes - all in beautiful natural surroundings.
It's an awesome and exhilarating experience. The Queenstown canyon half day trip is suitable for first-timers to adventure seekers and is a great option for groups and team building. No previous canyoning experience is required but you should be confident in deep water and have a reasonable level of fitness.
Minimum age is 12 years & maximum weight is 120kg.
We are the only canyoning operator to use 2 guides on each trip, with showers & changing rooms at our base facility - tea, coffee or hot chocolate provided post trip.
And we have a shop in the centre of town!
