Canyon Swing - Shotover
About
Description
What's it all about
The World’s Highest Cliff Jump - Launch yourself from our 109m cliff mounted platform. You’ll reach speeds of 150kph as the rocky cliff face rushes past you in a 60m vertical freefall, the ropes then smoothly pendulum you into a giant 200m swing across the famous Shotover River.
There are two basic launch methods: jump yourself or be released from our special launch boom. Our chest and seat harness allows you to depart the platform anyway you desire, limited only by your imagination. With over 70 different solo and tandem jump styles we can expertly manage the scariness for everyone. All these different styles are made possible by the unique combination of our chest and seat safety harness, cliff top platform, special release mechanism and a whole lot of product sampling!! From knitting nana’s to adrenaline junkies, we have the style for you.
Total trip is 2.5 hours, there is no rushing, allowing time for more than one swing.
The Experience
At Shotover Canyon Swing no one's pushing you through at breakneck speed. With each trip limited to 11 passengers (including space for spectators) there's no rush and no crowds. You've time to soak in the surroundings – one of the most spectacular valleys in the region; to chat with your driver – who'll act as host throughout the trip; and to have fun without felling pressured. Your jumpmaster will expertly manage your fear factor while ensuring your enjoyment. Whether you're confident or timid we know exactly how to ensure you have a great time.
