Zip, abseil, slide and plunge your way through one of Queenstown’s hidden natural playgrounds.

Exclusive 12 Mile Canyon is surrounded by native beech forest and filled with clear pools, waterfalls, narrow passageways and natural rock chutes. It’s a uniquely New Zealand adventure and a chance to experience a wild landscape most visitors never get to see.

Canyon Explorers provides two guides on every trip, offering more support, clear instruction and greater flexibility for both first-timers and experienced adventure seekers.

Free trip photos are included, and after the canyon you can return to our purpose-built base for changing facilities, a hot shower and a complimentary tea, coffee or hot chocolate.

With a convenient central Queenstown check-in location and all the extras included, you can focus on the adventure from start to finish.

What you'll do

Pack an unforgettable Queenstown canyoning adventure into half a day
Check in at the Canyon Explorers base at 37 Camp Street, Queenstown, 15 minutes before departure. From there, travel approximately 15 minutes to our canyoning base to be fitted with specialist equipment. After a full safety briefing, walk through native beech forest to the canyon. Then zipline, abseil down waterfalls, slide through natural rock chutes, plunge into clear pools and float through narrow canyon passageways. Choose how far you want to challenge yourself along the way. Your experienced guides provide clear instructions and, where possible, easier or more challenging routes to suit your confidence. After the canyon, return to base for a hot shower and complimentary tea, coffee or hot chocolate. No previous canyoning experience is required, but participants must be confident in water and have a reasonable level of fitness.
