Excellent and incredible canyoning experience. Tour host was great, informative, and tailored to the group. I would recommend this tour to any family wanting a bit of adventure with breathtaking scenery.

This is an excellent activity!! Easily a top 5 activity i have ever done! I would highly recommend. You should have at least a moderate fitness level and be comfortable over various terrain, but no real experience needed. Brig, our guide, was amazing! He made me feel so confident and comfortable, even doing some of the more "extreme " parts. Ask for him if you go. You won't be disappointed. The lunch you are given is great too! We did eat some before the adventure too since you don't eat until after you've finished. Wear your swimsuit under, bring a towel...also consider bringing dry under garments if you are not keen on riding back to Queenstown for 2 hours in a damp swimsuit. Absolutely fabulous!
