Half Day Canyoning Experience Queenstown
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 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!
