What to expect
Get ready to abseil beside waterfalls, zipline through the canyon, jump into crystal-clear pools and slide down natural rock chutes in Queenstown’s Twelve Mile Canyon.
Your adventure starts at the Canyon Explorers base in central Queenstown, where you’ll meet your guides and get fitted with specialist canyoning gear before heading out to the canyon. After a walk through native beech forest, your guides will lead you through hidden rock passageways, waterfalls and clear pools. No previous canyoning experience is required.
Afterwards, warm up with a hot shower at the canyon base before returning to central Queenstown. Free tour photos will be sent to you via a link after your trip.







Good to know
- Eat a good meal before your trip – canyoning is active and you’ll want plenty of energy.
- Bring swimwear and a towel, plus an extra non-cotton thermal layer such as merino or polypro for added warmth. Avoid cotton, as it stays wet and can make you feel colder.
- No previous canyoning experience is required – your guides provide all specialist equipment, instruction and support throughout the adventure.
- Bring a GoPro if you’d like to capture your own footage – mounts are available.
- Free tour photos are included, so you can focus on enjoying the canyon and take the memories home with you.
Reviews
5/5 for Charlie and Paige (gorgeous instructors), they were extremely kind and helpful to everyone. The Canyon was absolutely beautiful. The drive there and back is about 20 minutes so it's not that far at all. would definitely do this again, just wish that it lasted longer 🤣
Well planned tour with clear instructions and all necessary equipment and safety devices provided. It was a fun and safe under the experienced guidance of Luke and Tim!
Really fun experience you dont have to be Michael Phelps to do it if you can doggy paddle you'll be fine!
This was a great way to explore a part of Queenstown we never would have seen on our own! The guides were helpful & funny and captured some fun photos along the journey. Highly recommend booking this adventure - well worth the money & time.
