Queenstown: The Shotover Canyons

What we work through with you

1. Your date and who is joining

   Tell us the date you want and who is coming, with children’s ages and any access or food needs, so we can check suitability with the operator.

2. The practical arrangements

   We check available times, the meeting point, transport if listed and the operator’s requirements. Optional extras are confirmed separately.

3. Your written quote

   Review the final arrangements, total price, inclusions and payment and cancellation terms before booking. An enquiry does not reserve this trip.

The experience outline

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

1. Step 01

   The Run

   Transfer from central Queenstown down to the Shotover canyon base, about fifteen minutes. Safety briefing, life jacket and spray jacket, then roughly twenty-five minutes on the water in a boat built to run fast through shallow water. The canyon section is the reason to take this operator rather than another: they hold the only concession to run it, and the boat goes through rock walls close enough that passengers instinctively pull their arms in. Full 360-degree spins happen whenever the driver raises a finger, which he does without warning. You will be wet, and in winter you will be extremely cold, and neither will matter. Transfers back to town are included.
