Tour programme
- Preparation:
To check-in for going canyoning from Queenstown to Mount Aspiring please be 10 minutes prior the indicated time by the Moa statue at 78 Beach Street, Queenstown. There, our branded shuttle will pick you up and take you to the starting point or you can also take your own car to get there (we'll show you the way). After a scenic 2-hour drive from Queenstown passing by Wanaka, with coffee and toilet stops along the way, we'll reach the starting point. There you'll get your canyoning equipment and can change. A 20-minute bush bash takes us to the entry point of the canyon, where our professional guide provides you with a full safety briefing and demonstration.
- Tour:
Then you start into your adventure with beautiful pumping waterfalls, natural water slides, down climbs and jumps. Look forward to highlights, like abseiling from up to 30 metres or jumps up to 10 metres. All the jumps are optional, so you can always choose to rope down.
- Arrival:
After 3-4 hours of canyoning, we reach the starting point again. There we enjoy a picnic-style lunch and some refreshments before we head back through Wanaka to Queenstown.
