Listing Details
Shotover Canyon Swing is adrenalinised adventure at its best. Winners of 2008 NZ Tourism Awards and voted 'Best Experience in NZ' in the Golden Backpack Awards 2007 & 2008.
Travel 15 minutes from Queenstown in one of our vans, take a 3-minute bush walk and arrive at our scenic site. Our cliff -mounted platform is 109m above the spectacular Shotover River. You freefall 60m past rocky cliff faces into the canyon before the ropes smoothly pendulum you into a giant arc of 200m at 150kph.
Being fitted into a chest and seat harness allows you to depart the platform anyway you desire, limited only by your imagination. There are two basic launch methods: jump yourself or be released from our special launch boom. With over 10 different jumpstyles we can expertly manage the scariness for everyone - from knitting nana's to adrenaline junkies we have the style to suit. We pride ourselves on offering trips with small group sizes and not rushing the experience and there is often time to have more than one swing and try a different jumpstyle.
Our motto: Gravity is a toy, come out and play
