“Cool off and try the elements of canyoning on this new 3hr tour”
Turn up the heat this summer… then cool right down with Queenstown’s splashiest new adventure! This 3-hour tour is all about good vibes, big laughs, and fresh Lake Wakatipu water. You’ll scramble up rocks, try your hand at abseiling and launch yourself off cliffs 3-12 metres (at your own pace, of course), and dive into the clearest lake around. It’s the perfect mix of thrills and chills — you do need to know how to swim but no other experience is needed, just bring your swimsuit and a sense of adventure.
No experience – no problem!
While no prior experience is needed, swimming ability, English speaking and a medium level of fitness is required. You’ll need to be physically able to strut your stuff in a wetsuit for up to 2 hours with climbing, abseiling and swimming as the main elements.
