Our half day canyoning experience has a little bit of everything in an action packed 4 hour (approx) round trip. We walk in through an ancient beech forest that hides the high-walled canyon. Once in, you’ll descend the canyon by zipline, abseiling/rappelling waterfalls, plunging into natural pools, floating down narrow passageways and cascading down chutes - all in beautiful natural surroundings.

It's an awesome and exhilarating feeling. 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 moving water and have a reasonable level of fitness.

Go for it, you’ll have a blast! Minimum age is 12 years.

We are the only canyoning operator to use 2 guides on each trip, have showers and changing rooms at our purpose-built facility.

And we have a shop in the centre of town!

Then, it’s a 10 minute drive to our base to be fitted with canyoning gear. Following a safety briefing, your guides will lead the group through beautiful, ancient beech forest to the start of the canyon. We descend and explore the canyon by zip line, abseiling (rappelling) waterfalls, slides, plunging into natural pools, floating down narrow passageways and cascading down chutes – all in beautiful natural surroundings. It’s an awesome and exhilarating feeling. You can choose the level of challenge you want throughout the trip – our guides can provide easier routes and they will instruct you through every adventure! Then it’s a short drive back to base where you’ll appreciate our investment in heated changing rooms and hot showers.

I absolutely loved rappelling down the rock faces and zipping through the canyon—such an exhilarating way to experience the natural beauty of Queenstown. The guides were professional, encouraging, and made the whole group feel safe and pumped up. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or just looking to try something new, this adventure is a must-do!

    What a fun day! This was one of a dozen excursions we did on our 4 week trip and was the favorite of everyone. My only complaint is that I wanted it to last longer

    Super fun. Never done anything so unique. Moving through the canyon touching rocks smoothed by the rushing water of centuries. Guides were great.
