Forsränning på Shotover River från Queenstown

The tour began with a scenic drive into Skippers Canyon, where our witty guide kept us entertained with fascinating stories of the area’s history and pointed out unique rock formations along the way. Because the water level was high that day, we had the thrill of tackling Grade V rapids! Safety was clearly a top priority—support kayaks accompanied us, and my raft was staffed with three instructors. When we reached the most intense sections of the canyon, the instructors sprang into action, positioning themselves on nearby rocks with full safety gear at the ready. I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism and precautions taken. Interestingly, two fellow participants mentioned they had joined the same tour the week before, and the lower water level gave them a completely different experience. Hearing that made me wish I had more time to enjoy a few extra runs myself—it’s the kind of adventure you’d want to relive again and again.

Exhilarating Experience on the Shotover River! Rafting on the Shotover River was absolutely exhilarating! The scenery through the canyon is stunning, and the rapids are thrilling from start to finish. It’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and natural beauty. The guides were outstanding – knowledgeable, fun, and made sure everyone felt safe and confident. The highlight was definitely the ride through the narrow, rocky passages – heart-pounding and unforgettable. A must-do adventure in Queenstown!

Thrilling ride but cold! The guide was clear in his instructions and he was safety conscious. He had to work hard as we needed to improve our paddling. Got the hang of it eventually. Recommend it for those who want to experience adrenaline!

The guides did a great job and the experience was fun. Do note that this is a grade 5 river though, participants will require sufficient water confidence.

En mycket, mycket rolig upplevelse och guiderna var alla experter på aktiviteten. Landskapet nedifrån var otroligt och forsarna var så roliga att ta sig igenom. Bilresan uppför Skippers Canyon Road var skrämmande men en sådan upplevelse. Den erbjuder dramatiska vyer och stupar lodrätt längs klippkanten. Foton ingår i paketet.

Säkerhetsgenomgången var tydlig. Instruktörerna var omtänksamma och hjälpsamma. Utrustningen fanns tillgänglig i din storlek. Bilderna är bra. Bästa upplevelsen någonsin.

Great time! Matt was fantastic .... loads of fun

se till att inte dricka eftersom du inte kan gå på toaletten på länge, inte svårt alls, många äldre deltar

Besättningarna är mycket professionella och det är viktigt då det är en högriskaktivitet. Vattnet är kallt även på sommaren! Vilken upplevelse!

Otroligt roligt! Vattnet var iskallt, men det var så värt det. Idag var vattennivån ovanligt hög, vilket gjorde det ännu mer spännande. Tyvärr har jag bara några bilder och ingen video, men det var verkligen jätteroligt.
