Queenstown Half Day Canyoning Adventure
+6 photos
Zip, abseil, slide and plunge your way through one of Queenstown’s hidden natural playgrounds. Exclusive access to the 12 Mile Canyon which 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. Our guides will snap photos along the way which will be sent out for FREE after the trip. Canyon Explorers provides two guides on every trip, offering more support, clear instruction and greater flexibility for both first timers and experienced adventure seekers. 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.
