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.

Wow! What an awesome adrenaline pumping experience! My first swing was tandem, my second was solo. It's an experience I'll never forget and would do again and again..
A huge shout out to the ever wonderful, dry humoured and hilarious ladies Kayla and Jess for

My daughter loved it, we got two extra swings as there was enough time, cost $65 per swing extra. Best money we have spent. Staff were amazing.

Still as amazing, 12 years on!!
Came here to do a swing with my child when we travelled to Queenstown.. my child was amazed at it after watching my old videos, so I thought, let’s just do it!

So much fun!
We went tandem backwards. The thrill was unreal. Free fall is a very strange feeling but so worth it.
Pictures and videos were absolute gold.

We had a brilliant experience.
Mike & Rob did a professional job in encouraging a couple of old fogies like us onto the swing. At all times we felt positive until the shear fear kicked in when Mike cut the rope 😆.
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
I strongly recommend purchasing the photo package , we very much enjoyed ours.

Unbelievably exhilarating experience for my family and two teenagers!! They went back for seconds and would have gone for thirds if they had the chance. You do it right. I was a scared mama about safety but everything was top notch. They loved the drop of course but the swing alone was incredible. Highly recommend.
