Spectacular canyoning experience

The full day Mt Aspiring canyoning trip was a spectacular experience: beautiful, adventurous, and so well managed by our exceptional guide, Dominic. We loved hiking, jumping, rappelling, and traversing down the stunning canyon. The gear was excellent quality, we were (surprisingly) not cold, communication was clear and attention to safety high. This is one trip so worth doing! It is such a fantastic day!

Operator response

Hi Kristy! A massive thank you for your review! Having you mention the excellent gear is really awesome, we work hard to ensure we deliver our products to the highest standards, including our equipment, and so you mentioning that means a lot! I have also told Dom about your "exceptional guide" comment, he is a fantastic guide and truly loves being able to share his profession with amazing guests like you! Thank you for joining us and it was our pleasure to have hosted you!

Just do it!

Such a great experience from start to finish. Hands down the best thing we did in an action packed week in Queenstown that included paragliding, white water rafting, off-road self-guided buggy tour and a couple of e-biking adventures. The canyon itself is breathtakingly beautiful, such a special place. Can’t rate the team we dealt with highly enough - Jules, Jaap & Ross - absolute legends all of them! Thank you for putting the icing on the cake of a memorable week away with my daughter. If you’re contemplating this - just do it, you won’t regret it. Cheers team!

Operator response

Thank you so much Simon for the amazing review, we really appreciate it! We were more than happy to help - and very happy you enjoyed the canyon! Thank you for booking with Canyoning New Zealand.

Couldn’t find a better tour experience

Big shout out to Dom, Ross, and Harrison for making it a sick day. Was an inclusive and supportive tour leadership group, catering to all skill levels. The day was well timed and planned, it was fun and physical, and lunch and snacks were provided. The experience covered some cliff jumping, abseiling, rock slides, hiking, beautiful scenery, and waterfalls galore. Couldn’t recommend this tour more for anyone interested in learning the ropes of canyoning.

Operator response

Thank you so much for booking our full day adventure - we were so happy to host you! We will pass this onto the guides, thank you for canyoning with us and the amazing review!

Raw Nature Explored

If you even are looking into this tour, JUST DO IT! You will not regret it! This was probably the highlight of my NZ trip! Not only because of this activity but because of the amazing and outstanding guides, Dom (Dominic) and Stefan. They were full of personability and knowledge of the excursion and all around NZ. We chatted the entire 8-10 hour day and every minute was enjoyable. You get a delicious sandwich from a local shop. The views you see on this adventure is something magical! The repelling, sliding, and jumping off waterfalls is a rush of life you wont experience any other time!

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to review - we really appreciate it and will pass this onto the guides! So glad you enjoyed the day and the lunch! Thank you for coming out with Canyoning New Zealand!

Canyoning in Queenstown

Guide was on time picking us up, good communication with the office prior to the event. Jaap, our guide, was super knowledgeable, safe, and above all friendly and enthusiastic during the whole trip. Ooo la la!

Exciting, breathtaking views, and fun!

Ross was knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time trekking the beautiful mountains of Mount Aspiring National Park. Definitely wouldn't have been as willing to jump into frigid water without such an encouraging guide! The group we went with was also a delight! The only previous experience both my partner and I have had with something like this was in Mexico and was very touristy and overcrowded, so wasn't sure what to expect. This was very much the real deal! We came across some locals who seemed familiar with the sport of canyoning and knew the guide, which made me feel even better knowing it is a hobby of his as well. If you aren't in good shape or have fear of heights and water, this isn't for you, but if you're interested in an exhilarating experience tucked away in some of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand, this is for you! They provided snacks, lunch, and thermal wet suits that made us comfortable throughout; it was only the very end of the canyon that we started to get cold. We did have a nice sunny day, so warming up was quick once we got out of the wetsuits. Overall, a beautiful experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives! Thank you Ross and Canyoning New Zealand for the care and dedication to your trade.

Best Adventure Activity

This is an excellent activity!! Easily a top 5 activity i have ever done! I would highly recommend. You should have at least a moderate fitness level and be comfortable over various terrain, but no real experience needed. Brig, our guide, was amazing! He made me feel so confident and comfortable, even doing some of the more "extreme " parts. Ask for him if you go. You won't be disappointed. The lunch you are given is great too! We did eat some before the adventure too since you don't eat until after you've finished. Wear your swimsuit under, bring a towel...also consider bringing dry under garments if you are not keen on riding back to Queenstown for 2 hours in a damp swimsuit. Absolutely fabulous!

Operator response

Thanks Carrie, we so appreciate the time it take to review an experience! Your feedback is so incredibly helpful to our future travellers!
