Queenstown Half Day Canyoning Adventure

Zip, abseil, slide and plunge your way through one of Queenstown’s hidden natural playgrounds. Exclusive 12 Mile Canyon is surrounded by native beech forest and filled with clear pools, waterfalls, narrow passageways and natural rock chutes. It’s a uniquely New Zealand adventure and a chance to experience a wild landscape most visitors never get to see. Canyon Explorers provides two guides on every trip, offering more support, clear instruction and greater flexibility for both first-timers and experienced adventure seekers. Free trip photos are included, and after the canyon you can return to our purpose-built base for changing facilities, a hot shower and a complimentary tea, coffee or hot chocolate. With a convenient central Queenstown check-in location and all the extras included, you can focus on the adventure from start to finish.
