What you can expect
Get set for pure fun from the moment you step onto the platform. The Kawarau Swing lifts you 43 metres above the river, then releases you into a huge arc across the stunning Kawarau Gorge. The drop is smooth, the speed builds fast and the ride feels like one big rush of laughter and adrenaline. Go solo, or team up in tandem or triple if you want to share the moment with mates.
Pick your crew and get ready for lift-off. The team clips you in, runs you through a quick countdown and lets gravity take over. Photos and video are included, captured from angles that show the full arc and the scenery behind you. An activity top waits at the end as your badge of honour.
Spectators are welcome and can watch from the deck, grab a coffee and enjoy the view over the gorge. For a fun, high-energy AJ Hackett experience at one of Queenstown’s most iconic spots, the Kawarau Swing is hard to beat.
