Everything Travel Group Review
I've done dozens of bungys around the world and this one takes the cake! Don't be fooled by the name... this is absolutely nothing like your average backyard swing! 109 metres of terror!!
One of the best things about this site is that there are so many ways to throw yourself into the deep canyon below. If you've only got time for one adrenalin activity in Queenstown then this is the one.
Suggestions: If you don't think you'll be able to make the leap of faith then the jump masters on site have plenty up their sleeves. They can take the responsibility entirely out of your hands. Check out the 'Chair' or 'Cutaway' jump styles. Extra jumps are dirt cheap so take advantage while you're out there.

Hi Monica. You are a spring chicken!! People over 80 years old have done the Canyon Swing in Queenstown so you are certainly not too old! One of the great things about the Shotover Canyon Swing is that there are so many different ways to jump. Backwards, forwards, flips, somersaults, from a seat, in a garbage bin... the list is endless. And if you don't quite have the courage to jump off yourself then you can get one of the experienced crew to release you from a harness so no leap of faith required!
