Your adventure begins just 15mins scenic drive from Queenstown in a fantastic wilderness environment; a naturally carved high-walled canyon fed by the crystal clear waters of a high alpine lake, tucked away secretly below a canopy of ancient beech forest. Welcome to Natures Waterpark and the experience of a lifetime!

Accompanied by our expert guides you will discover the pure exhilaration of canyoning. Zip-line below the forest-canopy, plunge into crystal clear pools, float through narrow passageways, abseil over waterfalls - with every turn uncovering a new adventure and natural wonder.

The Queenstown canyon half-day trip is suitable for first-timers to adventure seekers and is a great option for groups and team building. No previous experience is required, however you do need to be an active person in good health.

Each trip is customized specific to the group and weather conditions. A full briefing and demonstration is given before each activity in the canyon.

A little underwhelming

If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush and constant adventure then this probably isn’t for you. A lot of beginners on the group and a lot of waiting around between activities.

Hi Olivia, thank you for taking the time to write a review and choosing us for your canyoning trip. We are very sorry to hear you were not fully satisfied with your experience. We always strive to make this activity fun for everyone who joins us. Our Half Day trip is advertised as suitable for beginners or first-timers, allowing those with no previous experience the opportunity to embrace the stunning beauty of the New Zealand backcountry and conquer the fun challenges of descending through our canyons. We understand that challenge means different things to different people. For those seeking a bigger challenge, we offer our Full Day Routeburn trip, which may have been the best trip for you. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review as feedback is greatly appreciated.
