Shotover Canyon Swing
"In this jungle of adrenalin, this is the gorilla!!!!" - Brad London
‘The best rush in Queenstown … & I’ve tried them all.’ (Grant, England).
Gravity is a toy, come out and play with our highly adrenalinised, giant swing. Freefall 60 metres from our109 metre high cliff-top platform and smoothly pendulum into a giant 200m swing at 150km/h.
Our chest and seat harness allows you to depart the platform anyway you desire, limited only by your imagination. There are two basic launch methods: jump yourself or be released from our special launch boom. With over 10 different jumpstyles we can expertly manage the scariness for everyone – from knitting nana’s to adrenaline junkies, we have the style for you. Our tandem ‘jump’ option is officially The Highest Tandem Cliff Jump in the World

Experience was great but felt that while waiting to do the swing they could do more to create more of an atmosphere.

I jumped off a fair few ledges in NZ but Shotover Canyon Swing was the best of the lot!
The reason is that the guys who run it are just such great fun! other jumps can be a bit formal like they are rushing you through to get as many jumps into the day as possible, Doug and the guys were more intersted in sharing in the fun and making the experience the best they could, and it was a total blast!. Don't get me wrong they are very safety conscious, but the banter is 1st class and the scope of ways to chuck yourself off the edge is huge! I'll be going back and trying new jumps when I get back to NZ! I got the added thrill of jumping when the white water rafters were paddling down the river below me and the cheer I got just made me feel awesome! Oh and I should also mention that the canyon is stunning! A really beautifull part of the world!

Don't chicken out, do it, it takes 2 minutes and you'll remember it for the rest of your life!
I'm the biggest chicken of all so if i could do it anybody can. The staff are brilliant, all mad, i couldn't have done it without Doug! You'll have a ball from the moment you step into the office till you're dropped back buzzing and shaking! You won't regret it! Beautiful, terrifying worth every cent!

Great fun adrenaline activity but was over way too quick and probably more expensive than it was worth.

One our sons did this and although he nearly pucked he said it was the best thing.
The staff attention to detail and safety was fantastic.

EPIC!
Did a second jump at 15 bucks which would be donated to Christchurch earthquake relief. Scare yourself shitless and do a good deed!

Scary but allowed discovery of inner bravery.
All the adrenalin that could be experienced. Not for pussies!
