Canyoning New Zealand offer four-hour trips to the Kawarau canyon in the Gibbston valley, where a short walk into the canyon brings you to the wonderful natural adventure park where you begin your canyoning experience. You will abseil through waterfalls, climb down the canyon, and experience an exhilarating natural water slide. Bring a towel, swimsuit and some comfortable clothes to change into afterwards, because you are going to get wet!! Canyoning New Zealand provide you with a complete wetsuit, shoes, and helmet. The harnesses used are of the highest quality, and the company is proud of its excellent safety record with experienced guides who receive constant training and capacitation. You don't need to be able to swim but you should be comfortable in the water and remember that if you use spectacles or bring a camera with you to have these securely attached to your person.

For the more experienced canyoner, there are two full day options which offer some of the most exhilarating New Zealand canyoning experiences. The Black Spur canyon is accessed by boat and has 15-metre abseils and a jump of 8-metres. Abseils through waterfalls of up to 30-metres, slides, and a 10-metre jump are possible in the Mt Aspiring Canyon option, which is located in a UNESCO World Heritage area. Both these trips require some walking, but Canyoning New Zealand can organise a scenic helicopter ride at your request. Lunch is provided on the full day trips, and they run daily from October through April. This Queenstown attraction will thrill you while enjoying the spectacular scenery and local fauna that surround you.
