SHOTOVER CANYON SWING
QUEENSTOWN, NEW ZEALAND
Welcome to the Shotover Canyon Swing. This is the World’s #1 Canyon Swing, ‘cos we invented it. No other is like ours; it’s the first, heaps of fun and it’s sh*t your pants scary. We’ve been locally owned and operated since 2002, so we’re pretty good at this. We give you the freedom; you can jump yourself or be released, no other swing can say the same.
So get off the couch and out of your comfort zone, do something you’ve always wanted to do. This is ridiculously scary and seriously fun.

We did the canyon swing as a group of four, and honestly, we were terrified! Standing on the edge with our hearts absolutely racing, we were all questioning our life choices 😂
But once we were off the platform, it was hands down one of the most insane and unforgettable things we’ve ever done. And the best part? We didn’t get pushed... they cut the rope. Slowly.... That moment of suspense was so intense, we were screaming before we even dropped and laughing right after.
Kayla and her team were absolutely amazing. Their energy completely transformed the whole experience. Joking with us, hyping us up, and throwing in just the right amount of chaos to keep things exciting. You get to choose how you want to be sent off, which makes it super fun and personal (and maybe a little chaotic, in the best way).
If you’re anywhere nearby, do it. You won’t regret it. Huge thanks to Kayla and the crew, you guys made our trip!!

I was in Queenstown with my 20 yo son who wouldn’t stop talking about doing this Canyon Swing which I had zero interest in doing. In a moment of weakness I walked into the storefront in town to inquire about price and to see what the deal is. We were immediately greeted with the Jedi mind tricks of Archer and his co-worker. Ten minutes later we were on our way to this death defying adventure.
This operation is so professional you know it’s going to be safe, but at the same time they make it SO fun. They were playing Linkin Park “One Step Closer” when we got to the platform, lol. I still can’t believe I did this and we paid for the second jump! (which oddly was scarier than the first). I think everyone who works here has a degree in psychology. They know exactly how to get people to enjoy this. If you’re on the fence you can do it. I can honestly say this was a life changing experience for me. Get the video package!!
