What an adventure!! Far exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our holiday.
Amazing experience!! The only reason why I give them 4 stars instead of 5 is because they rescheduled the time 4 times. Besides that amazing!
What you can expect
Imagine an ancient landscape that has been unchanged for eons, surrounded by the craggy walls of an imposing canyon that has since time immemorial been fed by the pristine Lake Isobel. Obscured by the dense foliage of a native beech forest, the dramatic canyon seethes with life. You have the opportunity to experience all of the above on a canyoning adventure that will see you ziplining over a yawning gorge, abseiling down rocks, leaping into pristine pools, sliding through water chutes and swimming through narrow passageways. Located just ten minutes from Queenstown, this stunning part of the world is one you will want to explore in the most intimate way possible.
People at all levels of skill and experience are welcome and you do not need to have canyoned or abseiled before in order to participate. An adventurous spirit, a willingness to try the unfamiliar and a deep respect for the land are the only prerequisites for an incredible experience that begins after just an easy ten minute
