If you like skydiving and bungee jumping and any other heart-racing activity, you will absolutely love this opportunity to freefall over Shotover Canyon on a giant swing. This large, deep canyon is one of Queenstown&#39;s most famous attractions, thanks to the raging river that lies below it.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

On your Shotover Canyon swing adventure, you will get to&nbsp;see the canyon from the top-down as you jump from a 109 metre-tall base,&nbsp;plummeting towards the rapids below you. Don&#39;t worry, this activity is lead by experienced guides who will provide a full safety briefing before sending you over the edge.

&nbsp;

They will educate you on over 70 different jump styles that you can employ on the way down - Some are tame, some are fun, and some are downright crazy. From the seated &quot;Cutaway Jump&quot;, which provides a mild rush, to the heart-pounding &quot;Gimp Boy Goes to Hollywood&quot;, which drops you towards the canyon upside-down, there are plenty of ways to optimise this activity to meet your desires and needs.

&nbsp;

After the tour, you will have the chance to look through a selection of photos and videos taken throughout your swing ride. There will be an opportunity to purchase them if you&#39;d like to keep memories of this adventure forever. Then, once your chest has stopped pounding and your stomach has stopped churning, get dropped off at your original location.

&nbsp;

This tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours round-trip. It departs Queenstown daily at 8:30 am, 9:30 am, 11 am, 12 pm, 2 pm and 3 pm. Please plan to check in at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled swing time.
