Super fun day canyoning - Had a great trip with our guide Ross. It was a cool day but the wetsuit and gear kept us comfortably warm. Ross was good at giving instructions and keeping us safe. Highly recommend you give them a try!

Sunshine & Smiles - One of the best tours I’ve done! Booked last minute and so glad I did. Dom was friendly, professional and had everyone laughing from the start. As the eldest by a few decades, he made sure I felt comfortable without making it a big deal, and I kept pace easily. The tour was fun, exciting and well run. You do need good fitness, flexibility and to be okay being dunked underwater briefly. Sore the next day but completely worth it. The lunch voucher for Erik's Fish & Chips was a great bonus and added to the overall value.

Must do - This was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever done. The canyon itself is insanely beautiful, and the whole activity is the perfect mix of adventure, adrenaline, and fun. Jumping into crystal-clear water, sliding down natural rock chutes, and abseiling waterfalls felt surreal. The guides were AMAZING – super professional, calm, encouraging, and made me feel safe the entire time, even when I was nervous. They explained everything clearly, checked on everyone constantly, and kept the vibe fun and relaxed. I felt supported but never rushed. All the gear was high quality and warm, which really mattered in the cold water. The group size was perfect too – not crowded, and everyone got enough time to enjoy each section. If you’re in Queenstown and even thinking about canyoning, just do it. You don’t need prior experience, just a bit of courage. I’d 100% do this again.

Great canyoning adventure! - My boyfriend and I booked this last minute when our other plans fell through and we’re so glad we did! We had the best time and loved our guide, Dom! He was incredibly knowledgeable, fun and made us feel safe the entire time! It was both of our first times canyoning and definitely won’t be the last!
